Vendor Tipping Etiquette

Jasmine, on November 3, 2020 at 5:27 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
I am in the process of figuring out how much to tip our vendors to help manage our budget. I had my makeup trial done the day of my engagement pictures and it didn’t even occur to me to tip her for the “trial”. I will be using her for the wedding day for myself and my bridesmaids . I paid the entire amount for all of the services a week before my trial when I signed the contract. Which looking back was risky on my part, but she did a fantastic job. I just didn’t think to tip her for the trial and the wedding separately, I was intending to tip her 20% the total cost the day of the wedding. But now I just feel sick about it. I did tip my hairdresser for my hair trial for the engagement pictures, but I am going to be seeing a different stylist. So I am saying all of this to ask, how much and when do you tip your vendors?

    We tipped 15-20% the day of the wedding. It's totally fine to tip her for the entire sum of your services, including the trial, at the same time. Better than not tipping for the trial at all.

    I would tip at least 15% unless you're super disappointed with the product or services.

    Fantastic article Lisa! Our venue has an all inclusive package that we opted for. The owner said the price included tips & he would pay the venders. I know the bartenders will have a tip jar so we’re not worried about that. I’ve had my hair/makeup trial & hired her- she will be doing my MOH(my sister), 1 bridesmaid (my daughter) & my hair & makeup (the other bridesmaid wants to do her own). I will be paying for everyone but I asked my sister & daughter to take care of the tip.
