$4-5K/Weekend Renting Out Themed Slumber Parties

  • Anne McGraw

  • Slumber Party Rental Owner
  • $4,000-5,000 per weekend

Anne McGraw runs Firefly Slumber Parties in Nashville on the side of a full-time job.

On a recent weekend she and her husband booked five parties at $800-$1,000 each 🤑

The setup: themed canopy tents, air mattresses, matching pillows, decor – delivered and styled before the birthday girl walks in.

Pricing 👇

  • 3-tent: $425
  • 5-tent: $565
  • 8-tent: $755 (most popular)
  • 10-tent: $895

Plus upsells like a $25 invite graphic (5 mins in Canva), $45 karaoke machine, and a $45 sibling tent for the little brother who’d otherwise feel left out.

Sweet spot: girls aged 10-15. Top themes are Taylor Swift Eras, Harry Potter, Minecraft, and Boho.

Anne started for under $5K. The tents are DIY – wooden staves with fabric covers sewn at home.

Every party doubles as marketing. Parents who see the setup at drop-off immediately want one for their own kid 🔥

She’s been at it since 2020 and now coaches new operators in Dallas, Savannah, Jacksonville and East Tennessee. Her advice for newbies…

This is a long game.

Could be a tidy weekend side hustle in your town if nobody’s running one yet 😎
