Outdoor tents aren’t only for big weddings or graduation parties - other events like baby showers, gender reveal parties, and even bridal showers are great uses for a party rental tent.

For those planning a baby shower, bridal shower, or any other event on behalf of someone else, finding the right venue to accommodate your guests can be tricky. Although hosting these showers in the home may seem like a convenience, inviting large groups of people to your house often means extra preparation, clean-up, and anxiety.

Intimate gatherings such as showers and celebrations are excellent opportunities to use the best venue nature has to offer – the beautiful Central Minnesota outdoors! Here are a few fun ideas for using the open air as a unique space for your event.

 

3 Ideas for Planning Outdoor Bridal/Baby Showers

and other outdoor events or special occasions

  1. Think Outside the Box
    Before you start planning your event, think back to previous experiences you’ve had at similar parties. Ask yourself exactly what elements you enjoyed and which you feel could be improved upon. From there, you can begin to plan a menu, organize activities, and decide on decorations you’d like to incorporate.

    TENT TIDBIT: Think of some unique outdoor games you can play! Tents allow for plenty of space for activities like relay races, bean bag toss, and more. You can also use the extra space for more seating, tables, or other necessary arrangements.

  2. Use the Most of Your Space
    Depending on the venue of your party, you’ll want to consider how many guests you’ll be expecting to attend. Whereas indoor venues can become overpacked and uncomfortable, outdoor venues like public parks, lakeside properties, and even your own backyard have plenty of space for everyone.

    TENT TIDBIT: Tents are an excellent way to accommodate unexpected guests and prevent overcrowding. On days where the Minnesota weather doesn’t cooperate, our tents are sturdy enough to take on the elements so the party doesn’t have to stop.

  3. Get Creative with Endless Decorating Opportunities
    Depending on your venue, you may be restricted to the kinds of decorations allowed to be put up. When you use one of our durable, elegant tents, there’s no limit to what you can decorate!

TENT TIDBIT: Looking for ways to spruce up your baby or bridal shower with one of our tents? Decorative lights can be easily strung for added ambiance. Banners and garland are other common decorations, but the possibilities are endless when you use a tent as your base!


Still Not Convinced?

If you’re still on the fence about hosting your event outside, one of the BIGGEST benefits to consider is the convenience that comes with using an outdoor tent. Where indoor venues such as the home pose the threat of damage, spills, and trash to collect, tents give your guests the ability to relax and enjoy the environment without leaving behind a significant mess for you to clean up.

As our staff takes care of both the setting up and dismantling of your tent, all that you have to worry about is the party itself.
