Tipping???

Should you tip your photographer or florist for your wedding?

Tipping???
its not mandatory... if u want u may...
Reply:Photographer, for sure. He just put up with your family and his family for what I'm sure was a good part of his day. I'd tip mine, he'd of earned it.



The florist? Only if the flowers beat your expectations, or you harrassed the crap out of them in the preparation.
Reply:lf....after you get your photos back and you are more than happy with the package then yes.....lf you want.

This is your privilege.

Same with the florist.

Depends on the satisfaction of the customer.
Reply:Not unless you want blurry photo's taken from ground - level - or fallen over floral arrangements.



Seriously though - it's considered polite to tip people doing you such a favor (even if you are paying them for it) - so, i personally would say, "Yes."



We did :)
Reply:If you feel the level of service justified more that what you were charged...Usually the photographer and florists are hired as independent contractors so they have charged you an amount of money so that they WILL make money.



It is NOT like a food server that charges you someone elses price and get paid the Food Service Federal Minimum Wage of no less than $2.13/hour...Food Servers work for Tips...Independent Contractors don't...

If you feel they deserve more for exceptional service then do it...if not don't...it is not required
Reply:It's not necessary. I didn't, but then again, I didn't have a florist or a photographer at my wedding. I picked up a few spring bouquets from Wal-Mart as the flowers, and my BIL took the pictures.



I'm a simple kind of gal, and I REALLY hate how fussy and showy weddings have become.
Reply:Yes, you should have something for you carter, photo, dj,
Reply:Why? Your already paying them Who's next,the dry cleaner?. I personally am tired of everybody with their hand out.
Reply:No way. They are already charging you a bundle of cash...they aren't pizza dudes!
Reply:I work as a photographer and sometimes they give me a tip with money or with food. but depending on if im uber hungery i normally take the food
