Planning your dream wedding can feel overwhelming, but it is possible to put together the perfect day on any budget. Whether you want a simple and affordable ceremony or a luxurious and extravagant day, the right vendors will be able to work with you to make your vision achievable. This guide breaks down what you can expect from budget-friendly and high-end packages to help you decide what your priorities are and how different vendors will fit in your budget.
When planning and budgeting for your wedding, it’s wise to include which vendors you are tipping and how much you’ll give. Tipping is a great way to acknowledge excellent service and showcase your appreciation for their products and services. That said, tipping is not necessarily obligatory, and there’s no exact number for how much you’re expected to give. You can tip as much or as little as you want, depending on the level of service you get and how satisfied you are. Plus, there are some cases where you can completely skip giving the bonus. Here is a little guide to help you navigate gratuity on your special day.
