wedding coordinator gifts?

[mickeyheadbar]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question I am just wondering do people usually just tip there wedding coordinator or do people know of great gift ideas?

Thanks...

I've primarily heard that you just tip. I haven't had my wedding yet though...so I'm actually quite interested in the answer to this question too.

For whoever has a good answer...if it's a monetary tip...how much are they expecting? Do you just tip the planner, or their assistant too?

I sent mine a $300 Disney gift card-she was very appreciative. I also sent a stellar reference letter to her boss, highlighting how amazing she was as our planner

I will be sending a gift to the planner as in my particular situation I have dealt more with the assistant than my planner. I actually just wrote to my planner to get some ideas of what the assistant likes so I want to put together a basket of some sort.

That's where my confusion comes in. From what I understand, EVERYONE deals with the assistant more than the planner. I asked because I wasn't sure if maybe the planner/assistant split whatever tip the couple provides? For example, if I gave $200 to the planner, would the assistant get a cut of that? I definitely want the assistant to get SOMETHING. Seriously--I know the planner is busy...but the assistant seems to be doing all the legwork. I'm pretty sure my planner assistant HATES me (she does a good job of concealing it) because I ask her so many questions all the time (including stupid things like, "Why is a Mickey premium $6 for the dessert party, but $4 in the park? What's stopping me from just walking out of the party for a second, buying a Mickey premium, and walking back?").

The planner likes me because the assistant has already taken care of my dumb questions. So yeah...I definitely feel like the assistant needs SOMETHING for her troubles. There's no way Disney pays her enough!
