Officiant Thank You

NerdyBride, on June 29, 2017 at 10:22 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

We're now at the point where we are starting to figure out gratuity for all of our vendors and are stumped on what to do for our officiant. While our go-to is to always just leave a nice monetary tip, it seems very impersonal for her. Additionally, we know that the cost we are paying for her all goes directly to her, so it seems strange to just add more money in an envelope.

Would it be better to just do that, or would a heartfelt thank you card and personal gift be a better option?

    I think when it comes down to it, everyone wants the $.

    I don't think paying a tip is awkward at all. Yes she has the fee, but a separate heartfelt Thank you card with gratuity could be perfect, unless you know her well enough to give a personal gift.

    That's a good point. We are giving cash to everyone else, but we thought it would be nice to do something more personal for her since she's the most important vendor of the day and has really gone above and beyond for us. I suppose the card combined with money would serve that purpose, though
