For those of you Brides and Groom who are going on your first "adult" trip here's some tipping (or gratuity) advice . .
Airport skycap . . $1 to $3 per bag. Large or bulky items (like a golf bag) deserve an extra dollar or two.
Bellhop . . $1 to $2 per bag. If your suitcase is on the heavy side or extra large, tip an extra $1.
Food delivery from a restaurant or food business warrants 10 to 15% of the bill before any local taxes.
Hotel housekeeper deserves $2 per night at a "budget" hotel or $3 to $5 per night at a "nice" hotel.
Shuttle bus driver . . $1 to $2 per bag. Tip this driver if they wait for you or helps you with your luggage or helps you get to your destination quickly.
Valet parking attendant . . $1 to $3 in towns or small cities. $3 to $5 in large cities. If you are driving a SUV, then add another $1 or two due to its difficulty in parking.
