My dad has asked me to create a budget for tipping the day of the wedding and I'm not sure how much I'm suppose to tip each vendor. I've tried reading previous post, but I'm still not sure how much to budget. (I'm so afraid of being one of those new posters everyone hates)
The bartenders and waitstaff are all a part of our venue/ catering cost. Do I just provide the vendor coordinator with an envelope filled with cash? How do I make sure catering staff and everyone is included? They were coordinated by the vendor so I don't really have a relationship with them.
Also, is it tacky to have tip jars at the bar? We're having an open bar, but should we leave it open for guest to tip the bartenders if they want to? Our bar is open for beer, wine, and well drinks. Guest can pay to upgrade to top shelf liquor or imported beers. So, some might incur bar cost but I doubt anyone will.
