What Our Customers Are Saying

“This box was full of great stuff and it was better quality than I expected for mostly disposable party wear. Arrived perfectly packaged (so cute). My kids were in heaven!! Made prepping for Halloween a breeze and bonus- we’re still using the decorations on our mantle.”

“I was blown away with the Thanksgiving holiday box I received. Not only was the theme so fun for the kids at Thanksgiving, EV-ER-Y detail is included (even the on-demand hooks for the banner 🤩) The “little turkeys” loved the activities and that there was something special for them! This is a no-brainer addition to our family holidays…more time for fun! Thank you, Kristy and the Real Happy Hours team!”

“The Real Happy Hours is a complete game-changer! I'm a working mom of 2 and planning birthday parties isn't my favorite activity. When my daughter requested an at home ice cream sundae party with a few friends, I knew I needed help. Kristy came through with all the details and it often felt like she and my daughter were scheming on it together! That's how perfect it all was. My daughter still talks about it, and apparently, her friends do too. If you're like me and need a little help, or just want to make things easier on yourself, call the Real Happy Hours!”

“I have used Kristy from The Real Happy Hours for two custom parties now and she is nothing short of AMAZING!! First she saved me when I overextended myself hosting a large Christmas party, the next time I used her I didn't even wait until the point of overwhelm - I just hired her the moment I knew I was hosting again! She is wonderful at organizing all my ideas and visions into a cost-conscious but perfect Pinterest-y party of my dreams. She was able to pull all my Christmas decor together in new ways I wouldn't have thought of and decorated my tree like something out of a Martha Stewart catalog! On top of all that, she is incredible with floral arrangements. She was able to make me multiple arrangements all from one big Trader Joe's haul! Such an incredible company and a truly five-star experience!”

“I highly recommend The Real Happy Hours! I was traveling to celebrate my daughter’s recent graduation. I was planning on a small graduation party but I didn’t have time to drive around and pick up party supplies. The graduation kit was exactly what I needed all in a box shipped to where I was traveling to. The cost of the kit was cheaper than driving around town piecing everything together, a time savor and overall a fantastic setup! I highly recommend commend The Real Happy Hours for any occasion!”

“My 6-year-old wanted to have a Movie Theater Birthday party at home, but we had just moved and had a 4-week-old newborn, so I reached out to Kristy at The Real Happy Hours for help. She came up with super cute and do-able ideas that we could set up quickly and stay within our budget. I saved so much time and my daughter had an amazing time with her friends! Kristy is also a joy to work with and is always reliable!”

“I purchased the petite mermaid magic party box for my daughter’s 4th birthday and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! In the past, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to coordinate items to recreate an image I’ve seen and the outcome hasn’t been what I envisioned. The party box took the thought out of planning and turned out wonderfully. Kristy was responsive and so easy to work with. She helped me add a few items to my box to accommodate a few more people than the petite party box was created for. The packaging was neat and organized and the instructions made set up a breeze. I can’t wait to order more party boxes in the future and highly recommend The Real Happy Hours!”

“Kristy does the best parties! She literally takes care of everything. I can’t recommend her enough. She planned the decor, executed everything seamlessly, and was so much fun to work with. Now I just need to have more parties to use her for!”
