I've seen 2 different perspectives on tipping servers and bartenders at weddings: percentage vs. flat fee. A percentage of the catering seems crazy high, especially given that they won't be making sub-minimum wage, but I also don't want to be cheap. What is everyone doing?
There are so many places to create a wedding website, and of course everyone has a different favorite. What did you do with and why? I'm hoping that seeing why people chose certain ones will help me pick the one that aligns best with what we need.
We will be serving a plated dinner, with guests selecting their meals in advance. This means that there has to be an indication of the chosen meal at each setting. I was going to do escort cards, but I am worried people won't know to set them up once they get to the table. What has everyone's experience been? Should I instead do a seating chart with place cards at each seat to make it more likely that the meals will be visible to servers?
My fiancé and I have picked our venue, and we'd like to get married in one of the outside locations. For various reasons, we are looking at October of next year; earlier in the year is unfortunately likely impossible.
Events can start at 6 at this venue, On the date we want, sunset is at 6:42, and civil twilight ends around 7:10. We could do photos beforehand to help, but is this cutting things too close? I don't expect to start late, but then again, no one ever does.
EDIT: I can go higher on the price; that just means it will be a Christmas present instead of a birthday present.
My fiancé loves bird watching and mentioned wanting a better camera to take pictures. I have no clue where to start. I want to start with something very simple and basic; we can always upgrade later if he likes using it.
