Tipping - HELP

I know this has been asked a million times but I was just going over this w/ my Dad and we're trying to work it out. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated!!!

The Swan Club told us $3-5pp for the Maitre'D and $50-100 for my bridal attendant.

I know we have to tip the DJ & MC (the MC is my brother's good friend and he cut us a MEGA deal so I feel like we need to give him a good tip). We have to tip the limo drivers - how much is a good tip for them? How about the photographer and his asst and the videographer? We are clueless as to what is a 'good' tip.

Who else needs to be tipped? Florist delivery? Hair and makeup? ACK! LOL

Limo- 15-20% (make sure its not included first)
Photographer- I read that this is optional but I plan on giving $50
Flower delivery person- $10-15
Hair/Makeup- 15-20% (I plan on tipping for my BP so it works out to about 100 each)
Valet?- I've read $1 per car
Restroom attendant- $.50-1.00 per person
Altar servers if in church- $20 each

Thats all I can think of right now

$75 total for photog and asst
$75 total for video and asst
$100 total for 3 valets (most of our guests came via bus)
