The first thing to take note of is just who you should be tipping. One rule of thumb for this is to take a look at the final bill. Today, most of the opportunities for tips are often applied right to the final bill.
But, Which Services And How Much? Knowing when to tip is just as important. There are several opportunities that you will have to give a tip at. Here's a breakdown of some you should take note of.
Some service providers may already include a tip in the final bill. These vendors include the banquet managers, waiters, bridal consultants, the caterer, and bartenders. A tip of about 15% is usually acceptable. However it should only be given if the service is above the standards of excellence since you are already being billed for a gratuity.
You should tip the limousine driver for their service. Be sure to checkthe contract to see if there is an amount of gratuity already. If it already included, then it is not necessary. However, if not, or you receive high levels of service, a 15% tip is appropriate.
Should you tip Photographers, florists and musicians? If the tip is not provided in the contract, then a tip in the amount of 15% to 20% is appreciated. Of course, if the service exceeds expectations then more is appropriate.
Should the Rabbi, Priest, or Minister receive a Gratuity? This Gratuity should never be neglected since it is not usually provided somewhere else. The groom is responsible for this tip and should give the card and envelope to the best man to give to the Wedding Officiante BEFORE the ceremony as the minister often has to leave after the ceremony. This amount should not be less than $250. While it is a donation, it should always be provided. Also consider the distance the minister had to drive. When you consider that the wedding officiant is the one vendor that must be present for the wedding to actually take place and he or she must have the credentials, training, and skills to make your ceremony beautiful or not, then you realize what a bargain this truly is in the overall wedding budget.
Should you pay the Justice of the Peace? Since there may not be a set cost here, it is proper to give a gratuity of $50 to $100 for the civil servant who provides the ceremony. There is often a suggested donation posted in these offices for these services and it also appropriate to ask for the amount over the phone beforehand.
Proper Wedding Etiquette includes giving gratuities and should not be neglected. The Best Man can be assigned this responsibility if the Groom cannot or prefers not to do this. Following proper wedding etiquette in tipping shows genuine appreciation and class.
