My limo company included the tip already.
Flower store told me to buy them pizza the next day.
I didn't even think of tipping photo/vido.

all our vendors including limo already include the 18% (service charge) but all say on contract tips appreciated.i would feel weird not tipping photo /video they do provide a service to you

I didn't even think of tipping photo/video either...I think they charge enough.

If you do plan on tipping anyone have the money already set aside and put someone else in charge of it, because you can't do it all and you will forget.

I think what you have is good. This is what we did:

photographer (no assistant) $100
video - $50 - (was a friend giving us a good deal, but we tipped him anyway)
Limos $50 each (drop off only)
DJ & MC - i forget, but we didn't tip our DJ since he is the owner of the company, but we did tip the MC

I think what you have looks good- jmo but I would reduce what you are giving the dj/mc and give a littlle more to photo/video- someone else had posted this and I thought it was good advice- you will see these two vendors again (for your album & video) and they do more work than just the wedding- so they should get more
