Who to Tip at Your Wedding

There is always some confusion over who you should tip at your wedding. Here is a list of people you should tip at your own wedding. Of course, if the people you hire do a bad job feel free to not tip them. (you do still have to pay them though)

• The Limo or Car Driver, 15-20%
• The DJ or Band, 15-20%
  
• If you have outside caterers tip them 15% of the cost (check to see if the tip is included in the bill first)
• Wedding Planner, what you feel is appropriate
  
• The Officiant, 15%
• Wedding Musicians, 15%

This should cover all of your tipping needs, if I forgot any one please leave a comment letting me know, Thanks.

Money Saving Tips

Here are a few tips that I have used to cut down on a wedding budget:

1. Cut down the guest list.
2. Choose a cake without nuts or fruit (this will also help with allergies).
3. Put together your own favors.
4. Address your own invitations.
5. One step further, print your own invitations and programs.
6. Have your bridal shower at someone's house or in their backyard.
7. Choose simple inexpensive flowers for the bouquets.
8. Most tuxedo rental stores have deals so that the groom gets his tuxedo for nothing.
9. Have open bar for only the cocktail hour and not for the entire reception.
10. Usually the chicken option for the dinner at the reception is the cheapest way to go.
