Tip via check - Who do we write it out to???

Nicole, on April 12, 2022 at 11:29 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 7

We have a to mail a check to our planners for a tip because we had to use the cash reserved for their tip on the wedding day for makeup instead because (surprise!) they wouldn't take a credit card.

So now, we're trying to decide whether to write a check to the company or to them personally. The 2 ladies who own the company were there on our wedding day, so I'm leaning toward writing it to them personally (putting both of their names - they're sisters) & putting "gift" in the memo.

What are your thoughts? What would you do?

    I would probably write two separate checks - one for each of them.

    My only concern w/ that is that they did our flowers too, and the tip is for also. And since I know one of them doesn't do anything with the flowers, I'm not sure how they want to split it up. Maybe I shouldn't worry about that since it's the same company, but I'm just not sure?

    Give them the money and let them decide how to distribute it. Did they go above and beyond the call of duty for you?

    They absolutely did! Do you think we should write the check to the business or to them personally?

    If they are personal friends/acquaintances of yours, address it to specific names. If they are simply a business you hired off of a list, then address it to the business name. You can include a note as you choose. They will figure it out on their own.

    Personal!!! It’s not a tip if it’s a check to the business.

    Can you just write the check out to cash and let them sort it out? Maybe include a small note thanking them for all their help.
