Is there a good tipping cheat sheet somewhere?

ohwhynot

There must be a good, reliable guide on how much to tip vendors; where do I find it?  I'm thinking in particular about my DJ.

dani would totally know this. You may want to look around on TK home page. I'm sure I remember seeing one out there.

i just googled "tipping wedding vendors" and this is the first thing that came up-

i didn't really read it, but maybe it will be helpful!

Thanks!  I knew I'd seen it, but since I never go to The Knot main page, I thought it was on some board's FAQ. 

I also found the stuff I'd googled all over the map, so I wanted to know what folks found reliable.  So . . . shut up Matilda!  ;-)

Honestly, I didn't know where it was either.  I googled vendor tipping guide and it was the first thing on my search.  Probably cause my computer remembers The Knot as a common site. Glad it helps!

Aw, it's okay; I was laughing.  I felt really stupid posting, but on the other hand, I needed to know and I couldn't find it.  So . . . yeah.   Do you have any thoughts on children at the wedding or tiered receptions?

I think the knot is playing tricks on me.

Oh man, something new to pay for! First time around I was married in the UK, where my late husband was from, and you'd never really tip, apart from the hair dressers- people you'd normally tip over there. Other people... they tell you what it costs to hire them, and you pay it.. and you feed them. Now I have to TIP them too.

Ouch!
