Tipping Religious Officiant

Jolie, on November 4, 2019 at 12:39 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

We still haven't tipped our vendors. I know we are behind. This is the reason why I wanted it done the day of the wedding but my husband forgot them. Now I am waiting on him to write the checks and he still hasn't so I am about to just dip into our wedding money to send these thank you cards.. ugh.

My question is, what's a nice way to word in the card that the tip is for the officiant specifically, not a donation to the church? Of course, if he feels the need to donate it to the church he can (as I doubt he'll tell us what he does with the money), but we decided we'd rather tip him for his services as he is my husband's childhood pastor.

    I would just address the card directly to him and have his name on the check. That should get the message across.

    True. I will make sure my husband at least writes that check then. I'm just gonna tell him I have been asking him and now it's super late after the wedding. I'll make him take his checkbook to work if he has to!

    I agree with the above poster. You could add in your note in the card something along the lines “just wanted to give you a little something to thank you...” Then it’s up to him what he does with it. It is a gift after all and he can donate it or do whatever he wants. But i think that gets the point across that you arent expecting it to go to the church
