Planning Your Charleston Baby Shower
Timing & Season Considerations
Most baby showers happen in the second trimester when expectant mothers feel their best. Spring and fall are popular seasons in Charleston due to pleasant weather for outdoor celebrations.
Guest Count & Venue Selection
Baby showers typically range from 20-50 guests. Finalize your guest list early to determine venue size, rental quantities, and setup requirements.
Rental Booking Timeline
Reserve baby shower rentals 4-6 weeks in advance for most dates. Spring shower season (March-May) requires earlier booking, sometimes 8-10 weeks ahead.
Theme & Color Coordination
Choose your color scheme and theme early. This guides linen selections, decoration choices, and overall aesthetic, creating a cohesive celebration.

Baby Shower Rental FAQs
How much do baby shower rentals cost?
Costs depend on guest count and items needed. A typical baby shower for 35 guests (tables, chairs, linens, tabletop items) ranges from $400-$900. Request a quote for your specific celebration.
When should we book rentals?
Book 4-6 weeks ahead for most dates. Spring shower season (March-May) books up faster, so reserve 8-10 weeks in advance for those months.
Can you deliver to parks?
Yes. We deliver to Charleston County Parks and other public spaces. Check with the park about any permits or restrictions for rentals and deliveries.
What's included in the rental period?
Standard rentals include delivery the day of or day before your shower, with pickup the following day. This gives you time for setup and celebration.
Do we need to wash dishes or clean linens?
No. Simply stack used items and leave them for our pickup crew. We handle all cleaning. You’re only responsible for damage beyond normal use.
Can we see items before ordering?
Yes. Visit our showroom to see inventory in person, touch linen fabrics, compare colors, and visualize your table settings.
What if it rains on our outdoor shower?
Tent rentals provide weather protection. Book tents when placing your initial order. Last-minute tent additions aren’t guaranteed, especially during peak spring season.
How do we determine quantities?
Tell us your guest count and meal style (seated lunch, dessert party, cocktails and appetizers). We’ll calculate exactly what you need based on our experience.
Can you deliver to Airbnb or vacation rentals?
Absolutely. Many out-of-town family members rent homes for baby showers. We deliver to vacation rentals throughout Charleston.
Is there a minimum order?
Minimum order requirements vary by delivery location. Most baby showers easily meet minimums given the tables, chairs, and supplies typically needed.
What if our guest count changes?
Contact us as soon as possible with revised numbers. We can usually adjust quantities up to a week before your event, based on inventory availability.
