Looks good! I was told you only need to give about $50 for bridal attendants, but that is of course your own choice :)

I think it depends on your place. Westbury Manor told me only the M'd and bridal attendant.

I dont think you have to. Not sure about hair/makeup. 15-20% I think.....

Re: Tips
Sorry catering manager should be Maitre'd. FH paper advised $3-$5 pp, but when I called he told me $6-$7. He said that tip is split up amongst other people.
For our Bridal Attendant they advised us between $100 and $150.
For hair and m/u I read 15-20% is typical.
I reviewed this with my FH last night, he actually wants to bump the DJ amount up to $200! We don't have a MC, just a one man DJ. I thought that was alot.
We're getting married in church. You're not supposed to tip the priest are you? Do you give him a gift, or extra donation?

Re: Tips
I think if you're getting married in a church you're expected to make some sort of donation to the church, but I don't think the priest expects a tip personally. You could get him a gift to say thank you :)

Re: Tips
Wow, SUCH a good idea to post this. Unfortunately, I can't be any help whatsoever, I'm at a total loss with tips! I was going to ask Cheeky Glam what they suggested...
