Tipping is probably the last thing you'll want to hear about after all the other expenses you’ll incur on your special day; however, Society Weddings would like to provide you with a list of those typical tips that your wedding vendors may expect.
Please note that it is correct form to tip or award your vendors prior to the event – you should know your vendors well enough by wedding day, that you should feel quite comfortable in doing so. These are Society Weddings' suggestions -- you may wish to reward your vendors more generously, if their services were above and beyond the call of duty. Your wedding consultant (hopefully Society Weddings) is the person who usually takes care of this for you, as you'll be busy being "a guest" at your wedding --smile :):
