Our Married Life

So to add on to our base cost, we also have to consider tipping. Here’s a guide that I found from The Knot.

• Banquet Manager: $2-$3 per guest(total)(note-this tip is in addition to the service charge) (My Thoughts: WHY??? This amounts to about 300 dollars if we’re tipping $2 per person. Doesn’t she get paid enough by the country club??)
• Waiters: $20 each (Manager will distribute) (I don’t mind tipping the waiters, but what’s the 18% service charge for anyway?)
• Bartenders: $20-$40 (Same thing as the waiters)
• DJ/Musicians: $20-$25 (Do we really have to tip if he owns his own DJ business. I’m fine with 20-25, but I read somewhere you have to tip 100+, what?)
• Photo/ Video: 10% of the billing (NO way I’m giving my photographer $250 for a tip…are you NUTS!!!)
• Attendants: 50cents per guest (What attendents are we talking about?)
• Valets: 50-$1 per car (There will be no valet, there will be plenty of parking and people can park themselves)
• Chauffeurs: 15-20% of the bill (I think we’re going to rent a towncar from Enterprise or something like that instead of getting a limo)
• Hair & Makeup: 15-20% of the bill (I don’t mind tipping for the hair and makeup, since they make me look pretty)
• Deliveries, Security, ect: $5-$10 each (this will include cake, florist, and whatever else is being delivered)
