You thought the hard part was over. Guest list? Done. Venue? Finally booked. Playlist? Perfectly balanced between Taylor Swift and “Sweet Caroline.”
You have sacrificed DoorDash, late night Amazon impulse buys, and Friday night cocktails with friends to save some money and make this dream happen. And then someone asks the question you didn’t see coming:
“So… how much are you tipping everyone?”
Tipping? Who and what for? How much?
Just what we needed…another wedding expense. 😡
At LinkMy.Wedding, we have heard this panic before. This is why we have put together a simple guide to tipping the Dream Team that will help to make your special day possible.
- Caterers and Waitstaff (15-20%)– Just like eating out, only with WAY more appetizers. 🍱
- Bartenders (15-20%) – They keep Uncle Ed’s Jack & Cokes flowing, while keeping your college roommate’s tequila shots in check. 🥃
- Hair and Makeup (15-25%) – They fight humidity, tears, and nerves…and somehow keep your makeup intact throughout. 💄
- DJ (10-15%) – Without them, your first dance is just awkward swaying. 🕺
- Officiant ($50-$100 donation) – They legally make it happen…without them, you are just another ordinary couple. 💒
The above is just a short list. There are also drivers, florists, delivery and set up people, even the person who makes and balances your 4-tier wedding cake…it takes a lot of people to help orchestrate and make your dream day a reality.
If Money’s Tight (and when isn’t it when planning a wedding?)
LinkMy.Wedding knows weddings are expensive. When you open your wallet to look inside and you see nothing looking back at you, don’t panic. There are other ways to show your appreciation. A handwritten and heartfelt note, leaving a glowing review online, or giving a small gift will all be appreciated. Gratitude isn’t only about cash…it’s about saying, “Thanks for making our wedding day one to remember.”
With LinkMy.Wedding, you can track all your wedding plans in one place, allowing you more time to celebrate and less time stressing! 🎉
