Tips for day of

Help!! My wedding is getting near, 5/4/14 and I'm trying to get an amount together to tip everyone. What is the going rate?
I have the following:
- 4 man DJ set up (lights and zap photographer)
- 2 person photo/video
- 1 flower set up girl
- 3 limos (so 3 drivers)

I'm clueless to this!!!

I was thinking the same thing. this is what I came up with:
4ppl Dj crew: $150/mc, $100/DJ, and $50 for the other two
$200 for each photographer/videographer
$100/flower person
$50/per driver
im still playing around with the numbers

Okay so we are pretty close. I was thinking:
dj and mc - $100 each
light and zap photo - $40 each
flowers - $100
photographer - $100
Videographer- $100
Limo - main escalade - $75, rolls - $50 and reg limo (for parents) - $25..

If the videographer is the owner do you still suggest tipping him? MC is also owner of dj company. I'm clueless
