Tips?

Who all are you supposed to tip? Are you supposed to tip the florist and dj? Gratuities are included in our reception contract with the caterer. What about the officiant? What is the average percentage we should tip if everything goes well? Just want to budget for everything possible!

You don't have to tip anyone.  You aren't suppose to tip people who own the business.  I'm going to tip my DJ and musicians.

Im tipping my DJ, maybe the florist or cake delivery person if I see them.

<div>Not to say the tips are required, but I've heard people often give the tips in marked envelopes to someone in charge at the reception venue for them to hand out as vendors drop off items.</div>

Our caterer, rental delivery persons, bartenders and entertainment are the only vendors that would not be invited to the wedding, so that's a blessing. So minimal tips for us, sweet!
