TIPPING HELP

So who do I tip... and how much do I tip them?

Limos
Photo - We are having 2 people
Video

My band members- we have 9pieces and we are paying for their meals too...


Bridal Attendant
Matre' D (spelling?)
(My hall suggests an amazingly high amount for tipping...)


Our hair and make-up girls are coming to the house and we are paying cash- I don't think I need to tip them?

Do I have to tip the valet?
Do I have to tip the florist?


Am I missing anyone?

Re: TIPPING HELP

I would say it really depends on how good they are. Photographer $50.00 a piece is reasonable depending. Limo driver the same... I would check contract to see if grat is included & tip after the job. video as well.

Bridal attendant $75-100.
Matre'd 2-4 dollars per guest.

hair & make-up I would tip.

This is what I have heard from people in my family that recently got married. This is how much they tipped.

Photographer -$50 for main guy
Assistant- $30
Limo drivers (even though gratuity is included)
$20 each
DJ- $50
Assistant $20
Bridal Attendant $2 per person (about $200)
Maitre'd- $3 per person (about $300)
Hair - normal tip
Nails- normal tip

Of course if any of these people go above and beyond tip more and if they don't meet your expectations of course tip less.

Oh for a band she tipped $20 per person.

If i see the delivery guy for the flowers I'll give a small tip also.

I have no clue how much to tip for make up though. any thoughts?
