Hey ladies! Is there a general rule of thumb for tipping florist, DJ, photographer and videographer? Our venue tip is already included in our package....but what do you generally tip other vendors??? I don't think I accounted for that in our budget and I'm worried now!

I was really confused about the tips as well. I used this guideline provided by my DOC and went by there. I've attached the list. Hope it helps.
FH and I were just discussing this tonight. Thank you all for sharing!! :)

Re: Tipping
I tipped my Photographer 150.00, and my video 125.00,The officant should be paid 75.00. The dj's I tipped 150 all together. The matre di I tipped 4 dollars a head, and the bridal attendant 125.00. Becomes crazy after a while but these people are with you all day and they deserve it! I loved my photo and video so much I think I was actually going to give them more lol.
