Frequently asked questions

Vendor Tip Calculator questions

Do I have to tip wedding vendors?

No. Tipping customs vary by location and vendor type. Check the contract first, especially for catering and bar service, where gratuity may already be included.

Should I tip a business owner?

It is usually optional. A heartfelt review, referral, or thank-you note can be as meaningful; use your own judgement and budget.

When should wedding tips be handed out?

Prepare labelled envelopes before the day and assign one trusted person to hand them out after each service is complete.

Do I need to create an account to use this tool?

No. The tool is free, needs no sign-up, and shows a result in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. OnceRoll the app is separate: you create a photo, video, or voice guestbook there, and guests join from a QR code with no account.
