Found a pair of shoes finally this week. I also ordered shorties for my bridesmaids to wear while getting ready from Plum Pretty Sugar that match my robe. How is everyone else doing?
So I am trying to set aside tip money. Who are you tipping that day? How much on average do we give these people? The Knot made me feel like I need to tip any and everyone I come in contact with the day of. Thoughts?
OH and I'm having my makeup and hair trial tomorrow. It's already $200. Do I tip them? TIA
Also feels crazy to say I'm getting married NEXT month!

I am going through the same thing right now. Here is my list based on reccs from this website, the knot, and my catering hall.
Church: donation to priest, $750 (not my choice, mandatory fee) alter servers x 2 or 3....$10 ea. singer....$20 organist...$20
Hair....20% makeup* (gift card for family friend) flower delivery people x 3.....$10 each dj.....$100 mc.....$100 lighting technician....$20 photographers, x2....$100 ea. videographer....$100 limo and shuttle, gratuity included so $20 ea.
Receptional hall: Maitre D....$3pp bridal attendant....$100 coordinator...$200 waitstaff...$20 per table
I think that's all! Yes, I think a tip is needed for just about everyone... and I am trying to be as cheap as I can be, but I still believe that.

Hey! Aren't you getting married at Infant Jesus? They want a $750 donation to the priest??? Or is that just the fee to get married there? Having a heart attack, LOL.

That is the fee. I am not tipping the priest, I just thought he is the guy who gets the 'donation'

OH, okay, LOL. I don't think he gets it, since we were originally going to use an outside priest and we still had to pay the fee. I am not tipping him either, though.
