Prepare to host an unforgettable baby shower with charming details that set the perfect scene! Guests will feel wowed when they walk in, surrounded by thoughtful touches and stylish décor. From stunning table settings to playful additions like a retro popcorn machine, the right rentals can transform any space into a baby shower wonderland.
With these seven must-have essentials, you’ll create a warm, inviting atmosphere—the ideal vibe for everyone to share in the joy and excitement.
1. Stylish Table and Chair Rentals for a Complete Setup
Table and chair rentals ensure you have the right amount of seating and dining space, saving you from mismatched pieces and last-minute furniture arrangements.
Look for tables and chairs that complement your baby shower theme. For example, if you are hosting a nautical-themed shower, consider bamboo chair rentals for a fun, rustic driftwood look. You could also rent minimalist chairs in a neutral shade so they blend with any color scheme or shower theme.
Table and chair rentals provide the flexibility and cohesion you need to make your event look effortlessly put together, especially if you’re planning a larger guest list.
2. Gorgeous Tablecloth Rentals for a Polished Look
Once your tables and chairs are in place, try layering on tablecloths that bring the baby shower theme to life! Consider tablecloth rentals in shades that match the shower’s vibe—soft pinks, blues, or sage green are perfect for a classic, sweet look, while playful jewel tones can add a fun, lively touch.
Another great way to create an elegant tablescape is to layer tablecloths with runners in contrasting or complementary colors. Try mint green tablecloths with a gold runner for a gender-neutral look. With carefully chosen linens, your tables will feel welcoming and create an enchanting setting for guests to enjoy and celebrate the new arrival.
3. Charger Plate Rentals for an Elegant Table Setting
Charger plate rentals are a great way to add a “wow” factor to your baby shower tablescape! For a classic touch, try pairing vintage-style chargers with coordinating napkins or floral centerpieces.
Looking for something playful? Choose chargers with fun textures or patterns like scalloped edges or florals. Gold-edged chargers work beautifully for a more elegant, neutral theme, creating a sophisticated look when layered with soft linens and delicate glassware.
Best of all, chargers don’t just look good—they help keep each place setting tidy, making cleanup a breeze.
4. Essential Glassware Rentals for Drinks and Toasts
A baby shower calls for lots of toasts and celebratory drinks. While disposable cups may be convenient, they don’t have the same elegance as glasses and stemware (and they’re not great for the environment!).
Glassware rentals allow you to explore a huge assortment of drinkware, including wine glasses, champagne flutes, and water glasses, to find the perfect selection for your shower. We have classic coupes for toasting with non-alcoholic champagne, as well as martini glasses and hammered highball glasses for serving signature mocktails inspired by the mom-to-be.
5. Fun Retro Popcorn Machine for a Nostalgic Touch
Bring a nostalgic vibe to the baby shower with a retro popcorn machine! This rental is a fun throwback that guests of all ages will love—and it’s a perfect fit for a vintage-inspired or carnival-themed shower.
Set up a snack station with colorful popcorn bags or vintage-style boxes, letting guests scoop their own snacks throughout the event. You could even add fun flavor shakers like caramel, cheddar, or cinnamon for a delicious twist! While the popcorn machine creates an irresistible aroma, it also doubles as a conversation piece, adding a bit of whimsical charm to your décor.
6. Beautiful Centerpieces and Decorative Accents
To add a memorable touch to your baby shower tables, Charleston’s top floral vendors like Tiger Lily, Roadside Blooms, or Out of the Garden can craft centerpieces that match your theme perfectly. For a soft, classic shower, think pastel roses, hydrangeas, and eucalyptus; for something more vibrant, try playful arrangements with bright ranunculus, wildflowers, or even sunflowers.
Complement the florals with personal touches like small framed baby photos of the parents-to-be, or set up a creative guest book station with custom cards or a keepsake box for guests’ messages. Pairing these personal accents with beautiful rented tableware and linens ties everything together, making the event feel complete.
7. Photo Backdrop and Props for Memorable Moments
Create lasting memories with a photo backdrop and fun props! These additions make it easy for guests to capture moments with the parents-to-be and each other. You can rent a backdrop or photo booth from companies like Palmetto Photo Booth or design your own with a few DIY touches to match your theme. A simple balloon arch, metallic curtains, floral garlands, or a custom banner can transform a plain wall into an Instagram-worthy photo op.
