As your wedding day approaches, you will begin to wonder which wedding vendors you should tip and how much. To make life easier for all of you, I've created a cheat sheet to help - it includes who, when, and how much is typically expected. Keep in mind that there are always exceptions to what is traditional; this chart is simply to be used as a guideline.
Lastly, when giving out your tips, it's best to have one person in charge of handling this task on your wedding day; traditionally it's your best man or wedding planner. The tips should be in cash and in sealed envelopes labeled with the appropriate vendor names. This will make it easier for whoever is responsible for handing them out the day-of.
