Tipping vendors

Generally we used 20% for our smaller/average budget vendors and then did ranging amount for our larger budget vendors. These are the vendors we tipped accordingly:
Venue - $500
Caterer - $400Photographer, Florist, Hair, MU, DJ, Coordinator, Cake, Photobooth, Transit - 20%

Thank you! I was just about to ask this question. I was kinda worried it was a standard 15-20% for each vendor. That easily would have been an extra $4,000 in tips!

It's still $1600 total... Every single time I add money to my budget, I keep wishing we eloped.

Vendor tips, vendor meals, and the cost of stamps were all things I forgot to factor into my budget!! That and all of the service fees & taxes on vendor contracts really add up!
