When to tip videographer and photographer

I personally handed them envelopes with tips when they arrived because I knew it was going to be a crazy day and didn't want to forget to bring it to the venue or forget to give it to them in general

Hi Stephanie! In the past I've seen that most people give them their tips either before they leave or after they've received their final products! I like the idea above of giving it to them before the craziness begins so that way you don't forget!

I plan to send any tip after I receive my final product... I know too many people who tipped the day of and got their photos late and/or not exactly what was promised. My photographer also owns her own business so I'm not exactly sure what I plan to do.

Okay WAIT, your suppose to tip your photographer??

I agree with You Stephanie! It’s a personal preference, really! But how much does it cost to tip a wedding vendor: the average list.

To avoid the hustle and bustle of the wedding day, it is better to make a list of those who should tip at your wedding. You are no longer university students to leave custom essay for the last day. You have to do this written work and You need to put a cash tip in envelopes well in advance of your wedding after. If possible, you can give a tip to your vendors on the wedding day or in advance (on the wedding day it may be impossible - you will be very busy ;-). You can ask, as described in PapersOwl, that your wedding planner or a member of your wedding party be responsible for handing out tips, which must be given out after the service is provided.

Check out this list below to help you decide how much to tip your wedding suppliers. Although you need to consider that not all suppliers of weddings traditionally receive a tip!).
