Tipping Guide

This tipping guide is taken from a nifty little bridal guide called, The Bride's Year Ahead - The Ultimate Month-to-Month Wedding Planner by Marguerite Smolen and Andrea Feld. This is just a basic guide to all of the people that need tipping for the day, but of course, if someone goes the extra mile, feel free to tip more.
