My dad wants us to give the bartenders, bathroom attendant and valets their tip instead of accepting it from the guests. I think thats ok but I have no idea what to give them. How big of a hole is this going to burn in my pocket?
What do you ladies think about how much we should give them? Two bartenders, about 4 valets and 1 or 2 bathroom attendants.

Re: quick question about tipping bartenders etc
I thought the bartender tips came out of the gratuity you pay... good lord I hate this tipping stuff... everytime I think I have it figured out another person pops up. I'm just going to start handing people blank checks...
ETA: Does the Woodlands have bathroom attendants? I don't think we do... or at least I don't want one.

ita...ANDDDD....i dont think there is a good/easy way to tell ppl that the tips have been covered in a way that it will make a difference
some ppl want to tip bartenders (stronger drinks, faster service) and they just WILL --- whether you pay in advance or not. same with valet.
those that normally tip, will tip.
unless you can tell the people NOT TO ACCEPT tips....which i kinda doubt. but i would talk to your BM
since gratuities are 'covered' maybe they wont accept tips anyway. then you guys are fine
c'mon....serious countdown now....eek. GIVE YOURSELF A TIP! HOLLER! hope you have an awesome relaxing day todayyyyyy!!

Re: quick question about tipping bartenders etc
how do you plan to stop them from taking tips from the guests/or stop the guests from giving them tips... i would guess that they would get more tips from guests then what you would give them... (i could be wrong)

Re: quick question about tipping bartenders etc
at my RH they said the average tip for servers and bartenders is 25-50 each. FFIL doesn't want a tip jar for the bartenders out for the guests to pay so i know he will be tipping them more and asking them not to accept from the guests.

I dont recommend it... if i was a bartender or valet those tips from guests are what i would rely on... id be pissed if someone told them not to give a tip... unless your dad plans on shelling out a lot of money to these people...
