Tipping Your Wedding Coordinator
From the Knot.com
Wedding planners won't likely expect anything; however, if yours did a great job you can always offer a token of your appreciation. (Note: Non-monetary thank-yous like professional photos of the wedding for the planner's portfolio can go a long way too.) Approximately 50 percent of couples do tip their planners -- typically those with more opulent weddings.
Protocol: Optional
The $tandard: Up to $500, or a nice gift
When to Tip: The bride should hand off the envelope at the end of the reception, or, she should send a thank-you note with photos or a check after the honeymoon.

Protocol: Expected
The Standard: 15 - 20 percent of the total bill
When to Tip: At the end of the night or after the last ride. If you used a separate company for the guest buses, designate a bus captain to hand the driver a tip, otherwise, this duty falls to the best man.

Rent the Runway
So you remember when in Sex and the City you heard Jennifer Hudson saying that you could actually rent designer goods... and you thought "where from and how and sign me up"!
Well ladies it's true...Rent the Runway is the place to go to rent designer goods at affordable prices. No longer do you have to struggle to find that perfect dress to wear to your next gala, wedding, or big shindig. You can simply browse the site, pick out your dress and accessories and they will send it to you for a rental price that is only a fraction of the cost of the retail value. Rent the Runway will even go so far as to send you an additional size just in case the size you choose is not quite the right fit. You can't lose!!!
