READ THIS! Re: Vendor tipping

I know that we are all at a point where we are worrying about who to tip and how much and thus posts are getting repetitive.  Sometime near the beginning of my 1 1/2 year engagement someone posted this link and I bookmarked it knowing it would probably be helpful in the future.  Of course this is just a guideline, but it might help some of you out.

Hope this helps!

  • Thanks for posting this!  I was a little confused about the officiant though.  We are using a pastor from our church, but we are being charged $200 for him to do the wedding. Do we still tip?

  • I've heard that usually you make a donation to the Church as a "tip" for the pastor.

  • I don't know how the church/pastor works, but for us, our pastor charges $200 for people who are not members of the church (you also get his wife to help coordinate day of). For members he accepts a donation of whatever you feel is appropriate, we've heard most people give $150.

  • Thanks for posting the link.  I thought about doing it too.
