One of first things a newly engaged bride does is ask her closest friends and family to be her wedding attendants. We all know the standard titles: Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor, Bridesmaid, and Flower Girl. But what exactly does a Personal Attendant do? What makes an Honorary Bridesmaid, honorary? And with more brides adopting non-traditional titles, how do you know where to place your best girls (and guys!) on your big day?

With so many wedding expenses to keep track of, forgetting to include gratuities in your budget can be a costly mistake. So it's important to factor in your vendors expectations early on. And while tipping is always optional, it's a thoughtful gesture that goes a long way. After all, these are the people who are making all of your wedding dreams possible. And some of your vendors will expect the additional compensation.
