Tipping Question

Are you supposed to tip your videographer and dj if they each are the owners of their business?

Re: Tipping Question

We tipped the DJ and the party motivators, they are co-owners of the company.

We did not tip the photographer or the videographer. We only tipped assistants

Hope that helps

Happy planning

Re: Tipping Question

Why wouls you not tip your photographer?? I think that he/she is the most important vendor you hire. DJ's last only a night, pictures last a lifetime!

Re: Tipping Question

there was just another thread about this today.

Mrs M - It's been said that you don't 'have' to tip the vendors that own their own business - since their taking the profit directly, unlike an assistant who works for salary and tips.

Re: Tipping Question

As I have said before why should I HAVE to tip a professional person making above min. wage? He/She is a very important vendor I agree. But I am important in my company and when I leave work no one hands me a few hundred dollars. I get a salary. I think it is very unfair that so many people expect brides to tip so much.
