Me either...I'd love some help too.

The only one I think I know how much I'll tip is my seamstress (different lady than where I purchased my gown)...$50.

Here is what I did:

DJ: 15% of total price

Maitre d': $2-$3 per guest. This tip will cover the wait staff's gratuities as well. (We gave $3 pp, they did a great job.)

Florist delivery person: $20 from me and DH tipped her something as well, when she got to his parents' house with the boutennieres.

Photographer and videographer: $200

Limos: included in contract

Bagpiper: 15%

Hair and makup: $100, which was somewhere between 20-25%.

I did NOT tip my seamstress because she overcharged me and did a terrible job.

Hope this helps!

This is what I was told from this being posted several times..but I may be wrong..if I am someone please correct me..I dont want to be cheap.
Ceremony musicians, 25 each
Matre D'..3-4 dollars per person
DJ 100- 200
video and photographer 100 each and extra for the photograoher if ya want when you see the proofs
band members 50 each
makeup and hair Im NOT sure about..I think 20% of the bill, for example..my makeup will be 155..so i will tip maybe 40? Is that right..I get stressed and confused with how much to tip everyone!!!
