I think it depends on the reception hall because my bridal attendant gets a cut from what we give to the matre di (?). Or do you tip her on top of that?

Re: Tipping Bridal Attendant ?
I think we tipped ours $100. She definitely earned it. She was there for anything and everything that we needed. We also tipped the maitre d a few hundred dollars. I don't remember how much, but it was based on a certain dollar amount per person--I think Fox Hollow suggests $3-5pp for the maitre d

If she does a good job, I would tip her on top of that. The maitre'd fee is uaually split between maitre'd, captain & bridal attendant....sometimes even the bartender as well, depending on the hall.

My bridal attendant was awesome. there were some things I thought she could have done but I think the club didn't make it part of her job description. She was always right there when i needed her. She collected all the cards and gifts, held my bouquet, brought us drinks during photos and the reception, brought the BM and I food at the bridal suite, etc. She then packed us up at the end and helped us pack the car.
We gave her $100. I think she earned it. It's not that what she did was so difficult - but just that she didn't miss a beat. She was never in my face and yet was always right there.

Re: Tipping Bridal Attendant ?
it's hard to tell.
I tipped her $50. She did a FANTASTIC job, but she did spill water on my guest book and a couple of the pages ripped. Plus, while it was drying out, people weren't able to sign it. I remember a couple of people asking about the book beause they wanted to sign it. But, they never got back around to signing it after it was dry. It was a COMPLETE accident, but hey- I plan to keep that book and give it to my grandkids...
