Tips for tipping
There's always been a slew of people in businesses that we tip because it's EXPECTED, other areas where people tip because they WANT to, and then places where people aren't sure if they should or shouldn't.
Places I DO tip: restaurants, delivery men (like the guys who carried in our new bedroom set and put it all together), newspaper carriers....
Places I've always been unsure: any service guy who comes to fix something (ie cable being the biggest), the lady who helped me when trying on wedding dresses, the guys who fix your car, the dealership guy when you BUY a car, etc.
Now, the biggest thing is going to be our wedding day....WHO exactly do you tip??
- Maitr'd (no idea how to spell this)
- DJ?
- Photographer?
- limo drivers?
If anyone has any idea please let me know...
Thanks!!

Caterer, club or hotel banquet manager: Tip 15-20% of the food and drink bill (just 10% of the bill is appropriate if there is also a maitre d’hotel). The reception host may be asked to pay the bill in advance. If gratuities are not covered the host or wedding consultant pays in an envelope during the reception.
Musicians or DJ: This is optional. If you choose, tip $20.00-$25.00 each.
Photographer, makeup artist, hairdresser, videographer, etc: It is not necessary to tip these vendors, as they are charging for their services. With that said, if you think these people did a fantastic job, and you want to show appreciation, feel free to tip whatever you want, especially if they work with an agency and will be paying the agency part of what you paid them.
Limousine driver(s): Tip 15-20% of the total limousine bill. The host or wedding consultant tips the driver(s) at the reception site.
