I’ve been so remiss in posting, so my apologies!
We are three days away from the BIG DAY. The great thing about being so close is that most costs are finalized, and there are no more big surprises. I know, I’m cheap, but even the most loose-spenders can appreciate that.
That said, I have a question for you ladies. My woman is having a make-up person come on-site. I’ve read in various places that if someone comes on-site, then you don’t have to tip them. The rationale is that these vendors charge an on-site fee, so that pretty much covers that.
What say you? Are we supposed to tip, even if the on-site fee the make-up artist is charging makes up nearly 25% of the day-of cost?
The 25% mark-up is supposed to account for travel costs and inconvenience cost for having to haul all their stuff out of their studio and I believe that the mark-up doesn’t include tip. Of course, tip is up to you. 25% mark-up is on the low-side so I personally would tip on top of that.
That’s my opinion and I get that question alot about tipping wedding vendors, but it all depends. Sometimes vendors put tip into the bill so you could also ask what the 25% covers. I’d like to see what other people have to say.
