signage

Another quick question :)

So we are tipping out our bartenders before the wedding. I want guests to know not to tip since it has been taken care of already. Does anyone know any cute or a way that I should put it on a sign?

I tried a google search and can't really seem to get any ideas.

    I wouldn't put out a sign, TBH. I would just ask that they not have any kind of tip jar out to tempt guests to tip. I would be more apt to tip if it were in my face, but at an event like a wedding I don't think that people will be overly tempted to. Some people will tip regardless out of generosity, but it won't be an overwhelming majority.

    I saw your post last night, and didn't have an answer, but I think PP are correct.  No tip jar is often a good signal.

    I think you should also explain this before hand to the bartenders so that they don't make one on their own.  I think they did that at Marissa's wedding and it did not go over well.

    Agree with others-and tell the bartendars if any one ask where to put a tip, just have the bartendarsw say that it's been taken care of.
