Enter your Catering Bill ($) — first check your contract to see if a gratuity is already included.
Input DJ/Band Bill ($), Photo/Video Bill ($), and Florist Bill ($) from your vendor contracts.
Set Base Tip Percentage (%): 18-20% is typical for service staff; vendor-owners typically receive less.
Review Total Tips Budget and per-vendor tip amounts to plan the cash and envelopes you will need on the wedding day.
Check Tips as % of Bills to make sure your overall tipping budget is proportional to your total vendor spending.
