Sooo my wedding is officially 1 week away! I never thought this day would come :) I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this whole tip thing. It's SO expensive. How much did you tip the officiant? The DOC? And did you put the tips for all vendors inside a hand-written card for each vendor? Or is there another way to do it? Obviously in an envelope...but is a thank you card necessary?
