A Guide to Tipping Wedding Vendors
Tipping is a customary practice at restaurants, bars, and certain service providers, at least in the United States. Tipping wedding vendors is no exception. While tips are not required, you should try to include them in your wedding budget. Whether you choose to give a tip or not (you may not if, say, the service is horrible), it?s best to account for it in advance and avoid unexpected expenses. Figuring out who to tip and how much can be complicated so, here’s a handy guide to help you.
Do I Need to Tip Everyone"
There are some cases in which a tip isn?t necessary at all. If the vendor is the owner of the business, no extra cash is necessary, unless you insist. In addition, the tip may already be included as part of a ?service charge? on a vendor bill. A tip doesn?t have to be in monetary form, either. For example, you can gift your wedding planner a spa certificate or bottle of wine as a thank you instead. Sometimes, a personalized thank you note may be enough.
It is best to prepare all tips in advance and separate them into individual envelopes. To avoid running around yourself, assign someone to take care of all tipping on the day of. You can also arrange to deliver the tips the day before.
As a general rule of thumb, a tip should amount to 10-20% of the service cost. And, of course, if the service is not up to standard, feel free not to tip at all. However, there are different customs when it comes to different services.
