| http://www.njwedding.com/articles/faq_tippingguide.cfmI've never gotten tiped as a photographer before and i've done well over 20.So do I HAVE to tip those people like that? Or would I be a horrible person?The DJs, ceremony music dude, judge and his wife, and photographer (maybe other provides) will be eating with us, if they want.I just am spending so much that I didn't know about this tipping thing until i read it on yahoo answersWe aren't having a driver as his parents own a really nice sports car so we are going to use that, maybe I should tip him :Pbut of course the judge will get his fee, and everyone will be getting paid on time....and ahead of time...of course. |

| No you do not have to tip them. Your photographer, DJ will maybe want to eat so you should add them to have a plate of food though |

| people that are being paid directly for their services - such as the dj or photographer don't necessarily need to be tipped unless they really do something above and beyond the call of duty. If your reception hall had someone to coordinate things for the day, you may want to tip them, especially if they do a good job. Hairdressers and make-up artists should be tipped as if you were having normal services - maybe a little higher if they have a tough task such as a complicated hair-do. |

| Some vendors (like bartenders, valet attendants, djs, and make-up and hair stylists) you should tip. Others (like photographers and florists) are optional.Here is an awesome website for tips on frugal tipping:http://www.frugalbride.com/tipping.htmlHope this helps! |

| The short answer is no.Tips are only given when someone has provided exceptional service. There isn't the obligation to give someone extra money for just doing their job. The decision is yours to decide. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
