TIPPING

Ok ladies, I need serious help! Trying to figure out how much to be tipping everyone and I'm getting soooo many different answers from people who pretty much tipped 50-100 per vendor to those who tipped 10-20% per vendor!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, tell me what you've heard have tipped or are planning on tipping. Thank you so much girls!!

Here's a breakdown of a wedding tipping guide I found in Bride's magazine.

Ceremony Musicians - $25 to $50 each
Altar Boys & Girls - $5 to $10 each
Limo or Bus Driver - 15% of the bill, if not added to contract
Valet or Parking Attendants - $1 to $2 per car
Coat check attendants - 50 cents to $1 per guest
Waiters & Bartenders - 15% of your total catering bill (split among waiters - unless it's added to the contract - the infamous service charge)
Rest room attendants - 50 cents to $1 per guest
Wedding Planner - personal gift
Hairstylist & makeup artist - 15% to 20%
Officiant - clergy member $75 to $100
Photographer & Videographer - 15% if they don't own their own business
DJ or Band - $25 per band member; up to $50 for a DJ

Hope this helps. Good luck.
