It may not have crossed your mind but the vendors that you have hired for your wedding are providing a service and it is customary to tip……if of course you were happy with their service.  It’s a nice way to show your appreciation of them making your big day perfect!

A couple of tips on tipping….

• Don’t forget to include tips into your wedding budget so you don’t go over!
• Plan ahead and put the money in separate sealed envelopes and label them.  Then designate a person, like the best man or your parents, to give them out at the end of the reception.  That way you don’t have to worry about it!
• You should plan on 15-20% for wait staff and limo driver (if you have one), about 10% for bartendars, Musicians or DJ’s typically receive about $25 each and delivery drivers are usually good with about $5-10.
• Be sure to talk with your vendors first about their tipping policies as some may have a no tipping policy and some may have already included it in their bill!

So, show your appreciation and tip those wedding professionals!  Don’t forget to visit www.bridesclub.com for a complete list of wedding vendors you’ll love!
