What a Backyard Party Usually Needs
For 30 guests, plan on a 20x20 frame tent, four round tables, 30 chairs, a pop-up over the food and two serving tables. At today's rates that comes to $871 before delivery, staking or weights, and tax.
| Item | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 20x20 high peak frame tent (seats 32 at round tables) | 1 | $495 |
| 10x10 Pop-Up Canopy Over the Food | 1 | $100 |
| 60" Round Tables | 4 | $60 |
| 6 ft banquet tables (food and gifts) | 2 | $25 |
| White Plastic Folding Chairs | 30 | $75 |
| 120" Round Tablecloths | 4 | $92 |
| 24-Foot Bistro String Lights | 2 | $24 |
| Total | $871 |
On a tighter budget, skip the frame tent and seat guests in the open, with a 10x20 pop-up ($165) over the food and drinks. The same list then comes to $441.
What changes by party:
- Birthdays. Cocktail tables ($14) and string lights suit a party where people stand and mingle. A photo booth runs $800 to $1,200 for 2 hours.
- Graduations. Guests come and go over an afternoon, so plan for the busiest hour, not the full guest list. Standing, a 20x20 holds about 40 people and a 10x20 pop-up about 20 (planning figures). A classic bar ($195) gives drinks their own station.
- Family reunions and barbecues. Grills and cooking stay out from under the tent and away from it, by our rental terms. Put the grill in the open and the seating under cover.
Check your space first. Measure the open lawn or patio, then look up for wires and branches. A 20x20 needs 20 by 20 feet of open, fairly flat ground plus room around the edges for stakes or weights. On a lawn we stake the tent; on a driveway, patio or deck we use weights, priced by site. We ask about the ground, the slope and access. Before a staked tent goes in, mark any sprinkler lines.
Count tables and chairs. One chair per seated guest. A 60" round seats 8 and a 6 ft table seats 6 to 8 (planning figures). Our tables and chairs guide gives the count for any guest number, and the tent size and seating guide shows what fits under each tent.
How long you keep it. One rental price covers chairs, tables, linens and tents for up to 3 days, for example delivery the day before your event and pickup the day after.
Small Orders and Delivery Options
There are two ways we bring a backyard order: delivered and set up, or delivered only. Both start at $50 for delivery in Whatcom and Skagit, set by your address on the quote.
| Option | What It Covers | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Delivered and Set Up | Every tent and pop-up canopy: we set it up and take it down, included in the tent price. Tables and chairs too, when your order includes setup. | Show us where it goes. |
| Delivered Only | Tables, chairs, linens, lights and other items, left at the closest point a truck can reach. | Place the items, then stack them at the same spot for pickup. |
A small order, like a dozen chairs and two tables, is delivered the same way. Stairs, an elevator or a carry of more than 50 feet from the truck add to the delivery price, so tell us about the route. Linens go back in their bags, dry, and dishes get a rinse; heavy food or liquid left on items is charged at $45 an hour for cleaning.
Party Rental Questions
Will a 20x20 tent fit in my yard?
It needs 20 by 20 feet of open, fairly level ground, plus room around the edges for stakes or weights, and nothing low overhead. If your space is tighter, a 10x20 pop-up ($165) or a 10x15 ($135) covers a smaller group or the food table.
What does a party for 50 guests cost?
A typical seated list: a 20x40 frame tent ($895, seats 64), seven 60" rounds ($105), 50 folding chairs ($125) and seven 120" tablecloths ($161) comes to $1,286 before delivery, staking or weights, and tax. Without the tent, the tables, chairs and cloths come to $391.
Can you deliver just tables and chairs, without a tent?
Yes. We deliver them to the closest point a truck can reach, and you set them out. If you want them placed, ask for setup when you request your quote.
What do we need for a party that runs into the evening?
String lights: bistro lights run $12 for 24 feet and $22 for 48 feet, and need an outlet within reach. Patio heaters ($35, propane not included) are for open-air areas only, never under or near a tent.
