Tipping for Birthday Party

So I know we live in the land of tipping EVERYONE!! but I just wanted to run something by you guys.

DD is having a party at a friends art studio next week. My friend will be doing the craft, supplying the space, crafts, juice and snack etc and I will be providing cake, pizza, favor bags the usual other stuff. The cost for the studio is $350.

Should I be tipping my friend too?

Is she the owner? If yes. No tip. Besides are you serving the food & cleaning up?

No tipping. I find it also pricey to not include pizza Chat Icon

Not if she's the owner, plus that is pricey for a party.

I found that not all places will take tips. My mom wanted to tip the girl at Build a Bear when we had DD's party and the girl said she could not accept it. But we had another of her parties at Stew Leonards (in Danbury) and we tipped the two kids because they did such a great job.
