Tipping for childrens party

If tip isn't included do you normal tip 20% of the cost of the party? As an example If a party total comes out to $500 including extra food for adults, extra kids etc do you too 20% of that (gratuity isn't included).

Eta that's not the total for my dd's party just throwing a number out there. It just seems that 20% ontop of what I am paying for a 90 min party seems insane!!!

10 helpers?!?! Seriously? That's crazy! I would have given $50 and called it a day!
