Credit list

I know someone that when she posted photos of her wedding she would tag alot of the vendors she used on IG. It looked something like

"Caption about being married"

Hair @vendor

Makeup @vendor

Dress @vendor

etc

Just write them good reviews online and spread the word via mouth. Thats enough.

I don't think that's necessary. As other PPs stated, leave a good review if you're happy with their services after the fact. Otherwise it looks like an advertisement if you were to include a list of credits on programs or the like.

There's something I like about the idea but I've never seen it done and am worried it will ultimately look like advertisements if it's not handled just right.

I wouldn't do it. The only times I have seen it done, was when the couple was getting services free or heavily discounted for the advertising. I rarely use the word "tacky", but that was tacky.

I was gonna put it in like a picture frame or something near the entrance
I thought it would be nice since some of my friends are doing my hair and make up
The lady that does dresses isn' online for reviews...

As a guest I’d be put off by this. I’d assume you got some kind of discount to advertise your vendors and
that doesn’t sit well with me.

So you're basically wanting to advertise your friend's HMU services then. I don't think that's a good idea.

Yeah, I wouldn't put up what are essentially ads for your vendors at your wedding. Most vendors don't even advertise themselves at weddings they work. We talked about this in a past thread and the consensus was that vendors don't display or pass out business cards at weddings where they are working, but it's acceptable for a guest to reach out to the couple after the wedding to say, "I really liked your DJ. Could I please have his/her name and contact info? I'm looking to hire a DJ for ____." But there's no need to give out your list of vendors if no one's asking for it.

Wow people are so judgemental thinking it' tacky
I never expected that
And actually the girl doing my make up doesn' even have a business for that example I just thought it would be nice and an extra thank you crediting them

I had a "Thank You" section on our wedding website listing friends who provided their free services to make our wedding happen. Not quite friendors but for a lack of a better word. But their services were free.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for understanding
I don' have a website though
Just wanted to show thanks somewhere
Yes I've got friends and professionals who are helping me
There' a friend I love her make up told her I'd pay her to do my makeup why hire someone else she' gonna be there anyways and she is saving for college so it helps her

The best way to do this is (other than leaving reviews online) when you post a photo to Facebook or Instagram just listing who did what for you and tagging them in it.

Yaaaasssss. This. ^^

If someone wants to know who a specific vendor was that you used, trust me, they will ask you themselves.

Agree with PP, this would make me think you got a kickback and would be weird IMO. It's one thing to list vendors under a picture online like @NVV2B said, but having something at your wedding just rubs me the wrong way. Your wedding isn't a time to advertise.

View Quoted Comment Not everyone on my list is a business
Not everyone has business cards

I agree with the PPs about listing it under a photo or something like that. Displaying it at your wedding isn't necessary and honestly, as a guest, I would find it super weird. A simple but nice review after services rendered is sufficient enough.

THIS!!!!! ^^

I did all my invitations and decorations myself so no
Maybe advertise isn't the word for it more like credit
That' why I wanted to ask what to call the list

@ing people when you post pictures is a really good way to do that.

I wouldn't do a frame or something like that that is right in peoples faces, but if you're doing a program you could do a "special thanks" section on the back, that way you're not listing each person and what the did, but just the names of people who helped you.
