ALCOHOL CHEAT SHEET

Here’s the deal: you can DIY your wedding bar, but you don’t want to be guessing how many bottles of wine your Aunt Linda might take down.

TIPPING AND GRATUITY GUIDELINE

Let’s talk tips. Tipping your wedding vendors isn’t always required—but when someone goes above and beyond to make your day magical (and keep your mom calm), it’s a really appreciated gesture.

This guide breaks down who to tip, how much, and when to hand it off—so you’re not stuffing cash in envelopes the morning of your wedding in a panic.

Spoiler: not everyone expects a tip, but a little love (in envelope or Venmo form) goes a long way.

Weddings can get real spendy, real fast—and this tracker is here to help you keep tabs on where your money’s going, what you’ve already paid, and what’s still coming up. Consider it one more way your Milwaukee wedding planner and coordinator is making sure you feel in control (and still have cash left for honeymoon cocktails).
