Should i send thank you notes to my vendors?

You should give them cash tips.

The Knot has a great article about tipping and what to do for certain vendors!

If you didn't tip your vendors at the wedding, but feel that they earned one, you could always include a tip with the card! As far as including pictures goes, I think it depends on the vendor. If you're sending one to your seamstress, definitely include a picture of you in your dress! Otherwise, for other vendors, I think either a gift card or cash would be a nice gesture.

The card should include a cash tip.

You're so welcome!!

Do not tip anyone unless they went above and beyond during planning and on the wedding day. Wait until after the honeymoon to assess their work and send them as applicable. A tip in itself is a thank you for stellar service, not a no show or someone barely doing their job.


A thank you note is basic common courtesy so yes I would absolutely send them unless the service was terrible. That is different from a tip though. Also mention that you will be happy to provide a review and references for them.
