Tent Layout Visualizer
Pick a tent and a seating style to see a to-scale diagram. Drag any table to rearrange it to fit your real yard, add cake/gift/buffet tables, then download the image to save or text to us. Round tables seat 8; banquet tables seat 6.
Tip: drag any table to move it. These diagrams are to-scale planning estimates — real fit also depends on your yard, walkways, and a dance floor or DJ. Send us your details and we'll lay it out for you.

Table Seating Guide
How many guests fit at each table depends on the table type and whether you're doing a formal seated dinner, a casual buffet style, or a cocktail hour. Use these numbers as your starting point — when in doubt, go slightly under capacity so guests have elbow room.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round Table (60") | 60" diameter | 8 guests | 8 guests | Dinner receptions, seated celebrations |
| Banquet Table (6ft) | 6ft × 30" | 6 guests (sides only) | 8 guests (sides + ends) | Buffets, gift tables, candy bars, long seating rows |
| Cocktail Table (High-Top) | 30" diameter, 42" tall | 2–3 guests | 4 guests | Mingling, cocktail hours, standing receptions |

Backyard Readiness Checklist
A little prep before delivery day keeps setup fast, safe, and stress-free. Run through this checklist a few days before your event.
- Measure your setup space so we know the tent will fit with room to spare.
- Check for slopes or uneven ground — flat, level areas are best for tents and inflatables.
- Clear the area of toys, furniture, low branches, and pet waste.
- Note sprinkler, utility, and irrigation lines — and tell us your setup surface (grass, pavers, concrete, deck). On hard surfaces, or any time you prefer, we secure tents with weights instead of spikes, so nothing goes into your lawn.
- Confirm gate width for access — our equipment needs a clear path to the backyard.
- An outlet within 50 ft for any inflatables (or let us know if you need a generator).
- Water access if you're renting the water slide.
- Send us backyard photos before event day so we can spot any surprises in advance.
Food, Cake & Gift Tables

| Function | What You'll Need |
|---|---|
| Buffet | 1–2 banquet tables |
| Cake / dessert | 1 banquet table |
