Children's party, tip or not?

[Mseddy]

Having a 1st birthday party hiring a local baby group to run an hours baby sensory type session at their venue. Back and forth over whether we pay on the nose, or tip. Social anxiety tripping me up as per!

Yabu - you've paid you don't need to tip
Yanbu - tip if you enjoyed it (which I know we will)

They have given you a price for their service, so that is the amount you pay.

No need to tip at all.

I wouldn't tip. I might round up if the way price was worked out lead to an unround number (eg. X for hall + y per kid), but probably only if I was paying cash.

If you feel they made the day extra special then feel free to tip! I run parties and the cost works out as less than a tenner per hour after paying tax with no other profit to put back into my business. An extra ten or twenty would be most gratefully received, especially in this current climate!

But no obligation, obviously! I don't think any less of anyone who pays the price and nothing more. I have to keep my prices at what people will pay and if I'm not happy with that then I need to stop.
