    FI and I absolutely LOVE all of our vendors. (knocks on wood as to not jinx it!) I know it's customary to tip them, but I'd also like to get a small gift for each of them. Is this weird? For example I found this glass tile necklace for our photog. I really think she'll like it but I'm afraid she'd find it weird to receive a gift from one of her brides.

    What does the hive think?

    Honestly- I think most vendors would prefer the cash you spent on the gift being added to the tip.  Especially if you aren't friends with the vendor, it's really hard to know their tastes.

    I agree with rosychicklet - I think most vendors would prefer to receive cash.  The necklace is a cute idea but even if I were a photog, I don't think I would ever wear it.  It's more of a  novelty display piece then a wear everyday piece of jewelry.

    Thanks girls. That's what I thought but I LOVE to buy gifts so I thought I'd throw the idea out there. :)
