FAQs

  • Should I tip every wedding vendor?
    No. Check contracts first. Some vendors include gratuity or service charges, and owner-operated businesses may handle tipping differently.
  • What is the calculator for?
    It helps you prepare a final-week cash envelope range so gratuity decisions do not happen in a rush on the wedding day.
  • Is this legal or financial advice?
    No. It is a planning worksheet. Confirm expectations with your contracts, planner, venue and local norms.
