Gift for Wedding Coordinator

I'm giving ours an OOT bag and a cash tip based on her service leading up to our DW and on our DW day.

i gave my coordinator a necklace and earrings....she really appreciated it.

We gave our WCs each a $100 Suzanne Morel gift certificate. We also gave Maye some liquid ginko baloba bc she mentioned how she can't get it in MX while we were on our site visit.

15-20%?!?! That'd be several thousand dollars!!! And I believe 15% tip is included anyway. I guess I should see if the WC gets any of that.

I like the $50-$100 plus a gift. I'm thinking that I'll give the gift when we first meet to go over plans (and have her be in a helpful mood) and then give the cash tip after all the festivities.

That's a good idea!!!

Wow, thanks everyone...good suggestions. Our WC has 3 kids so I was thinking of getting something age appropriate for them from ToysRUs as well. Although I don't want to be too forward and invade personal space.......

That sounds pretty good! Think I'll probably do the same thing. But as everyone said, do you think tips should be given to the photographer & the minister? Or just Chandlyn? I'm thinking it will depend on the quality of work that the photographer does & how satisfied I am with him after I see the pics.

Does anyone else hear cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching in their sleep?!!? Lordy this wedding is adding up fast! I think I will get a gift for the WC but I'm not so sure about all the cash tips. The photogragher especially b/c his price list is already outrageous. I know pics are expensive, but when you pay that kind of money here you get a whole lot more in the package.

thanks for the info. i am so caught up in everything else, that i forgot about tipping. has anyone composed a tip list? if so let me know please. the last thing i want is to be a rude ignorant "foreigner".
