Close friends and family, being the people that play a major part in my life,...FREE.
All others, discount or full.

For family and friends, I try to NOT do them... It rarely ends well... If I DO do an event for a family member/friend, I figure out what I WOULD have given them as a gift if I'd been a guest, and discount THAT off my regular price... Of course, if they prefer, I can charge full price and then give them a check...
Why should I be the only person giving a gift worth hundreds of dollars?

As for close friends, it's a matter of barter. If I owe you a favor, you get it free. Same goes if you can do some work on my roof or one of the cars. I got no problem with exchange of professional services.![]()

Oh yeah... I sure remember that.Oh, I so agree, and it doesn't even matter - generally - the cost of each others services. But in my dad's family, nobody would return the barter; I am sure. They would say that they would, but they wouldn't.
