    I always get confused because my "coordinator" actually came with the venue. She's part of the wedding planning team, and the caterer comes with the venue as well. Do I still tip the coordinator and the catering team?

    Don't tip anyone the day of. Wait until you come back from the honeymoon with an objective mindset to assess how well they performed. Only tip those who went above and beyond the call of duty. Do not tip for no shows, bad/mediocre service or simply showing up to do their jobs with nothing spectacular to show for it.

    Yes you would tip both, but tip according to their service like Michelle said those that went above and beyond

    I’ve always thought I’d tip the day of I was always told to be sure I had my envelopes ready for that day and hand them off to someone else. Isn’t it rude to tip afterwards?

    No it's not rude to tip later. It shows you made a more informed choice.
