2 Gratuities and Tipping for Wedding Vendors

Last year I wrote some guest articles for the ladies at Elizabeth Anne Designs on the subject of tipping your wedding vendors, and you can read those here:

Gratuity Etiquette

Gratuity Etiquette Part II

Not every vendor should receive a gratuity, but just as you need to calculate the tip when you are determining whether or not a restaurant is in your price range, you should also take this into consideration as you're planning your wedding budget. Doing this up front will help keep your budget under control and save you from financial headaches later on.

I am glad you addressed this because it is so hard to know whether you should tip certain people or not. Please do a "real life" post about tipping that addresses non-wedding vendors, such as the Jason's deli delivery guy when there is already a fee, the valet when you paid a $5 charge upfront, etc.

I love this post! I wrote a similar article for Style Unveiled called Getting Tipsy. Great minds think alike :)
