Booking & pricing
How much does it cost?
Three packages, all of them a full 24-hour rental with delivery, setup, styling and takedown included:
- Mini — $175 · 2 tents
- Semi — $300 · 4 tents, plus a party favour for every guest
- Mega — $400 · 6 tents, plus a party favour for every guest
Additional tents are $50 each, up to eight in total. Photo backdrop tents without mattresses are $150.
On the day
How long do we keep the tents?
A full 24 hours. Crystal sets up on the day of your party and comes back the following day to collect everything.
Do I have to clean up or strip the beds?
No. Crystal takes every piece away with her, bedding and all. There are no bags left in your hallway and nothing to wash. That’s rather the point.
Tents & bedding
What comes with each guest’s spot?
Every guest gets a teepee tent on a natural pine frame, an air mattress, a fresh white sheet, a blanket in the colour you choose, decorative pillows, their own bed tray and a lantern.
Across the whole setup there’s hand-cut tassel garland and twinkle lights. The Semi and Mega packages also include a party favour for every guest — a cup or a stuffed animal.
Do I need to supply mattresses, pillows or blankets?
No. Everything comes with Crystal — mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, the lot. You supply the room and the snacks.
Who it’s for
How many children can you do?
Two to eight. Packages cover two, four or six tents, and extra tents are $50 each up to eight in total.
Do you do parties for boys?
Yes, and it’s a fair question given how much pink ends up on the internet. Gaming and Sports are standing themes, Midnight Navy and Campfire Red are blanket colours, and custom themes are always welcome. Have a play in the sticker book and you’ll see the range.
Can adults book this?
Certainly. Milestone birthdays, bachelorette weekends and girls’ nights all work nicely, and the backdrop tents get booked for showers, gender reveals, graduations and smash cake photos.
Can I choose my own colours and themes?
Yes. The standing themes are Gaming, Sports, Groovy/Hippie Flowers and Movie Night. Or skip the theme and just pick a blanket colour.
The sheets are always crisp white — it’s the blankets that carry the colour, and there are five: Midnight Navy, Campfire Red, Ballet Pink, Wild Lavender and Bubblegum Pink. Mix them across the beds, or match one to the rest of your party decorations. Either is normal.
Can I add my own decorations or a backdrop?
Of course — it’s your party. Plenty of families add a backdrop, a cake table or their own banner around what Crystal sets up, and she’ll work around whatever you’ve planned.
Just mention it when you book so she leaves room for it.
Can we move the tents around?
Yes. Once it’s set up it’s yours for the full 24 hours, and shuffling the beds about is half the fun of a sleepover.
If you already know how you want them — all in a row, facing each other, or clustered together — tell Crystal beforehand and she’ll set it up that way. The sticker book is the easiest way to show her.
What are the photo backdrop tents?
The same styled tents set up without mattresses, as a decorative backdrop for photos. Popular for birthdays, baby showers, gender reveals, graduations and smash cake photos. $150.
Practical bits
Which towns do you come to?
Magnolia is based in Metropolis, Illinois, and regularly covers Metropolis, Brookport and Paducah, Kentucky. Paducah is thirteen miles away, about seventeen minutes, so the state line genuinely isn’t an obstacle.
In a smaller town nearby? Ask. The answer is usually yes.
Do you do anything other than sleepovers?
The photo backdrop tents are the other main offering — the styled tents without mattresses, for events rather than overnight stays.
Can I see the tents before I book?
Have a look through the gallery — every photo there is a real party Crystal set up herself. The sticker book is the quickest way to picture your own.
How do I get in touch?
Whichever is easiest — the form, email, or a message on Facebook or Instagram. Crystal answers her own messages, usually the same day.
