Hi!  Does anyone know how much we are supposed to tip vendors and when is a good time to do it?  I have a photographer, videographer, DJ and florist to tip. Am I leaving anyone out?  And do you tip on the full amount or their discounted price if they gave you a discount?

Thanks!

i think the rule of thumb is that if the vendor owns the business (like a florist or a photographer) then you don't tip - but if the photographer has an assistant, tip the assistant. Other people to think about: if you have chair or linen rentals - the delivery person. If the florist isn't delivering the arrangements herself, then the delivery person.

I never knew that the DJ got a tip.  I thought tipping was based on appreciation & anyone who went above & beyond in making your day memorable.  Wonder if that is correct or you have to tip everyone regardless?
