My doc sent me a list, but I wanted to get the view of you guys. I just piad a lot for some of my vendors that to tip a large amount is going to hurt the pocket, but I want to do the right thing. Let me know!! TIA!!!
Limo-I think we tipped 100 (for the 3 plus 2 of OT-we only had one limo so 50/75 for each is norm) Florist delivery guy-20 Makeup-40 Maitre D-3-5 pp Bridal attendants-50 each DJ-I think we did 100 (i dont remember) Photographer-tipping after we get our album Videographer-same as photographer
Those I think are the only ones we tipped

My DOC said that it was VERY important to nicely tip the people you are going to have to have a relationship with AFTER the wedding (videographer, photographer).
We tipped: Florist, Pastor, DOC, Photographer, Videographer, Maitre' D, DJ and the coordinator (at your RH).

$350 for Limo. Wow, that seems steep to me. How many limo's is that for?
I don't particularly like when a place tells me how much I need to tip. It is a tip for service that in theory should be voluntary & show our appreciation for service. I am getting a headache from the tipping I think I am going to tip over..lol
People need to start tipping me. I don't know what for but I am going to start..lol

Re: tips? who and how much?
the whole tipping process is crazy....i think it's important to take care of the video/photog since you'll be working with them after the wedding!
Florist DJ Photogs - even though they work for themselves Maitre'd Bridal Attendant All my friends and family who helped out with the wedding and did things for me for free (a lot of them were actually my vendors: string quartet, graphic design, MC, photographer - not hired, but my cousin's pro, so she took some amazing pics)
Basically everyone. hahaha. Your RH should advise you how much to tip your maitre'd and bridal attendant.
