Prom Tips for…Tips!

Prom is an expensive venture, so when you're planning out your prom budget, be sure to factor in tips. If you're utilizing some common prom night services, it's a common courtesy to tip, especially if you enjoyed good customer service! But how much should you tip? what's appropriate? Not to worry. Promheadquarters.com can help you decode prom tipping so that you're always in the proper range!

First of all, tipping should start with your driver. If you've hired a car or a limo to shuttle you and your date (or your friends) around on prom night, it's customary to tip 20%. Some limo and car companies include gratuity in their price, but it's still a good idea to keep a few dollars handy just in case.

Next, be sure to tip your server if you go out to eat before or after the prom. It's customary to tip 20% here as well, especially if there service was good. Check your bill to see if there's a suggested gratuity rate for you to follow. If not, 20% is a good rule to go by.

Finally, make it a habit to keep some extra dollars on hand in case you need to tip a server, a driver, or anyone else you may purchase services from. You just never know when an unexpected expense will come up!
