tipping maitre'd and bridal attendants

I know it's suggested to give the maitre d 5-7 pp

what do you give your bridal attendants? Is their tip included at all and are we supposed to tip on top of that?

We had 2, so we tipped them $75 each. They really were just there for the moments leading up to the ceremony, and immediately afterwards. We didn't see much of them after that. It was out matre d who went above and beyond that night.

Re: tipping maitre'd and bridal attendants

I think we gave our Maitre'd 400 or 450 for 120 people (well, that's what we paid for, but not how many showed lol). And the Ba and 'captain' we gave 75 each.
