Tipping Vendors

Farynyk

Most of my vendors are the owners of their companies. When this is the case, do you need to tip? When tipping a vendor for a wedding, what percentage do you use?

Thanks!

From what I have read, not if they own their own business. However, hair/makeup/officiant you should tip something like 1520 and for officiant it wasnt a set amount but about 100250 I'm probably going to do 5075 bc most of my vendors do NOT own the businesses. HTH

I think usually the tip is for the people that work for the owner. Example florist might have driver deliver your flowers while he/she is working on your centerpieces, so you need to tip the driver. Same goes for any staff that is helpng set up for your day. Good article on the knot about this. http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-budget/articles/wedding-vendor-tipping-cheat-sheet.aspx
