Showers are intimate events where seating, linens, and a tidy tent or canopy do most of the work — comfortable and photo-ready without a big production.

General guidance for planning a rental like this — from the PartyRents editorial team, not specific to any one company.
Order to your confirmed guest count plus a small buffer for walk-ins and gift or food tables. A common mix is 8 guests per 60-inch round or per 8-ft banquet table.
Some rentals include drop-off and pickup; others are customer-pickup only. Clarify whether stacking, placement, and return staging are included so there are no surprises on event day.
Linen size depends on the table’s shape and the drop you want (lap-length vs. floor-length). Confirm your table dimensions before choosing so the linens hang correctly.
As a rough guide, allow about 8 sq ft per guest for rows of seating, 10–12 for banquet tables, and more once you add a dance floor, bar, or buffet. Share your headcount and plan so the vendor can size it correctly.
Tents are staked into grass or weighted on hard surfaces. Larger frame and pole tents may require permits or utility line marking, so confirm the install method for your specific site.
Big tents often go up the day before an event. Ask about the delivery and takedown window so it lines up with your venue access and other vendors.
It depends on your headcount and venue, but for baby & bridal showers the most-rented items are typically tables & seating, linens & décor and tents & canopies. Use the category links on this page to see companies that carry each one near you.
