Are you supposed to tip the photo/video the day of the wedding? Technically, you don't know how your pictures are going to come out. I am confused about this??

AS well as above, I tipped....

Priest
Alter Boys
Organist/singer at church
Flower Delivery (usually the same people who set up your centerpieces)
Hair person
Makeup person
Seamstress
Waitstaff (tips at not really included like halls like you to think)
Limo driver (my co said it was included but we still tipped extra).

I think I covered everyone I tipped - but I feel like I forgot someone....

You can grow broke from tips......

With regards to the photographer and videographer, I feel that they are performing a service that day so they should be tipped. I have the owners of almost all my vendors and I am going to tip them anyway.

Thanks Denise for the other people that need to be tipped I forgot to type with.

I think this is a good list. Even though it says in your contract that tips for waitstaff is included those people really dont get the $ most of the time. I think its important to tip waiters/resses, bartenders, coat checks & valets
