Guest Count
For a typical gaming-themed birthday party with around 15 guests, here’s what you need to know.
Table Setup
Plan on renting 2 to 3 eight-foot rectangular tables:
- 1 table for gaming stations (consoles, monitors, or laptops)
- 1 table for food, drinks, and snacks
- 1 optional table for gifts, party favors, or check-in
If your party includes different game setups (e.g., tournament brackets or team-based gaming), dedicate separate tables for each game type to avoid clutter.
Chair Count
You’ll want at least 15 chairs, one for each guest. Even if not everyone is seated at once, gaming setups and dining areas both require seating.
If the party includes older guests or parents, having 3–5 extra chairs on standby is smart.
Layout Tips
- Leave 2 feet of space between gaming tables and seating to prevent crowding.
- Place food tables away from electronics to avoid spills.
- If outdoors, ensure tables are under shade or tents to protect equipment.
Event Type Notes
This layout works great for backyard setups, rec rooms, garages, or community centers. Add LED lights or themed table covers for visual impact.
Summary
For a 15-person gaming birthday party, the ideal rental setup is:
- 2–3 eight-foot tables
- 15+ chairs
- Optional shade/tent if outdoors
