Tipping Question

So, it's kind of early for me to be thinking about this but I'm trying to figure out how much money FH & I still need to save. (All we have left to cover are our rings and the day-of tips, WOO-HOO!)

Our photographers, videographer, makeup & hair people are all independently owned businesses. Meaning the ONLY people at the company are the owners, the people we're working with.

I know when it's the owner of a business, you don't HAVE to tip... but I feel funny giving nothing. On the flip-side, we're on a budget here, and I don't want to go overboard considering these people are getting 100% of what we pay them, since they own their own businesses.

What would you give in my situation?

TIA, ladies!!!

Our MC and makeup artist were the owners of their own company. We tipped the MC $100 (he did a lot for us) and I tipped the makeup artist $40.

Re: Tipping Question

the tip you give has to do with how good a job they do, not how much money they make. So if your people own their own businesses, it shouldn't affect the tips
