New to the whole birthday party out...

Where did your child have their birthday and do you have to tip everyone who helps at the party?

We've had at White Post Farms, Gold Medal Gymnastics and this year Pump It Up

We tip about $20 per helper.


Just the fact that I don't have to clean before AND after makes it oh so worth it!

Thank you for the response. So for every kid that helped at the bouncer you paid each $20? The same employess at PIU help at bouncers and with food?

We've done Lazer Tag, Interstate Sports Academy, Go-Karts and I honestly can't remember the other places! Each time we tip about $50 total.

You know the craziness that was Bella's party a couple years ago...since then I have been on forced hiatus.

We tipped per helper...

I must say, we had a lot of fun at a cooking party! It was fun and different.

We've done
Chuck E Cheese 3x,
Kiddazzels,
Monster Mini Golf

We tip $10-15 per host/hostess. We have never had more than 1 or 2 hostess. I know it's on the lower side but we pay a lot for these parties.

Sorry - I left out a word for PIU - it will be at PIU in June. I forgot that you go into different rooms. I'll have to see what others have doe there.
