I'm a little uncertain on this one. I was thinking $50 EACH driver (I'll have two). Is this sufficient or does it seem cheap? If you could tell me how much your tipping your limo driver(s), I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

$20.00? That is cheap. My FH is actually leaving the house tonight at 1 in the morning to pick up a bride and groom. Is that fair for 20 bucks, I don't think so!

but he also gets salary on top of that right? I know it is a sensitive subject for you because of your hubby, but try to understand that maybe it is like that at your FH's company and not others. If he is just going to pick me up after the wedding and drive me to a nearby hotel, 20 bucks sounds good to me. Now if the drivers is going to take me to the chruch, pictures, hall etc then maybe Ill tip more depedning on how professional they are.

I dont want to get into an argument I was just stating what my fathers company did and he worked/works with several other companies that followed the same practice-I know that some didn't pay as good of a salary as my father but I guess that is the same with all jobs-$20 is on top of the 20% gratuity they SHOULD be getting in addition to their regular salary-depending on how far he has to take the bride and groom $20 plus gratuity plus his regular salary sounds ok to me-I dont make that much an hour!

I think there is no right or wrong answer. My feeling is a tip is based on the service provided. If your contract has 20% standard anything you give above that should be at your discretion and if they earned it. I just don't like being pressured to do anything I don't have to. I am literally only using them from my house to the hall as I am getting married at the same place. I have to use them for a three hour minimum and it will only be 45 minutes. I am not happy with this as it is.

Exactly!
