No problem! Yeah, it's different for everyone, but she said this is about average. Tip money is definitely an expense that sneaks up on you!

Re: Tipping??
I would tip them, especially if there work is good. I'm planning on 1000 in tips for that day. But as us Italians say ( don't seal the envelopes till the end)

My MUST Tips are: Matred - $2-3pp Bridal Attendant - at minimum $100
My Band told me no tipping, but I will see.
I don't feel you need to tip the owners either.
When you go to a Hair Salon (at least for the 20 years I have been going to mine) we never tip the owner. Therefore if the person doing your Hair or Makeup is getting straight cash then you don't have to tip out; however, if it's girl/guy in a Salon then I think you should tip them like you would if you went in for a regular appointment (20%).
My thought is that you can get away with not tipping 'owners', but you do always tip the 'staff'.
Photographers and Videographers that 'own' the company can be tricky, but remember you can always tip them once you are completely done. These Vendors are still working with you until after the wedding, so you can at least think about it a while
Anything being delivered should be tipped and this goes for Limo Drivers as well (they are delivering you LOL)
