Invitation Question - Valet & Coat Check

My venue requires both of those as well (though i have a summer wedding so there will not be coat check). I opted to just include the information on our wedding website. I am doing an online RSVP so the majority will visit our site at least once. Our venue won't have tip jars out so I don't think people will feel like they have to open their wallets.

I would include it on your details card and on the website! I would just have "We have arranged complimentary Valet Parking and Coat Check for your convenience"

You can put it on your website, or on a details card with other info, but I honestly think people will end up tipping anyway. I can't imagine ever getting into my car without handing the valet a couple bucks.

ETA and maybe this is a UO, but as a guest, I wouldn't consider that "taking out my wallet", because the service itself is complimentary. Tips are voluntary, so if I'm choosing to tip, that's on me, not because you forced me to. Not the same thing as, say, having a cash bar (yuck ), or telling guests they have to pay $20 to park their car for the evening.

We are having valet, a coat check and bathroom attendants we are going to mention it on our website but I agree I think people will end up tipping anyway.

I would put it on the website and make sure the venue staff is instructed to decline tips from guests as they have already been taken care of.

We don't have valet parking or coat check but, we have spoken with our venue and asked that the bartender not have a tip jar out and to decline any tips offered to him. FH and I will ensure he is tipped appropriately and don't want our guests to tip him too. Maybe you could speak with your venue and see if they can ensure that any tips offered by guests will be politely declined.

We had required valet and covered tips in advance. The valet cards that people got when they parked (the tag that you get when you hand over your keys) said this on them, so we didn't need to. You can put it on the wedding website for sure, but I would leave it off of the formal invite.

Thank you so much for all of the great advice! I'll stick it on the website and hope for the best

I think this is something you should discuss with your venue and have the venue instruct their staff to decline tips your guests may give. Most people will still try to tip anyway so the staff should politely inform them it is already taken care of by the hosts.
