tipping

who should you tip for the wedding and how much is appropriate?

i figure the florist delivery, cake delivery, and photographer's assistant.  our photographer and dj own their own businesses.  our venue costs include gratuity, but what about the women who helped coordinate and set things up day of?

thanks for your help!

I'm wondering this too...I almost wish it <strong>didn't</strong> include gratuity and was just lower in price. I feel weird not tipping.

If someone does a good job (above and beyond), I think you can always tip them.  They will not say no!  But I think they include the gratuity because if they didn't, a lot of people probably woudln't tip at all.

I hate tipping.  I'd much rather everyone just has a set price and I don't have to think about whether or not they should be tipped or are expecting a tip.  Just more stress to deal with!
