They are 5. Almost none of them nap. And all of them can rally without a nap, if needed.
But yes. 350 was the price and included it because i asked about tipping.

So, you would rsvp no...but, since you’re not even invited—who cares?

Did you read 350 as 5:30? That was the cost of the party because OP is asking about tipping, not the time.

I have no idea why people are feeling the need to weigh in on your party plans, but yes, a tip would be appropriate. I'd do $20 a piece. And cake and fruit at 3:00 is fine.

Would you all do pizza for a 10:30-11:30 party?

OP does not say what time the party is, but based on my experience with similar venues it’s very unlikely to be at 5:30pm.

Having birthday at dance studio (not where we take dance - just found them as offering birthday parties). 12 kids and one teacher and a party assistant. Kids will learn a dance, perform, and then have cake and juice. Do I tip the instructor and assistant after the party? How much?

Party is the “standard” around here at 350.
