Hi friends! 👋 It’s been a while, so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and share a bit about how our company came to be. 💖

I’m Kristy, the founder of The Real Happy Hours where our mission is to make party planning easy so you can focus on enjoying the moments—AKA, the real happy hours—with the ones you love. 🎉 This business was a dream long before it became a reality, and it all started with our son Alex’s first birthday—a HUGE milestone for us since he made his entrance into the world twelve and a half weeks early! 👶

I went ALL out for his “Wild One” party, spending months on Pinterest boards, sleepless nights scrolling the internet, and countless store trips to bring it all together. And every year after, I found myself doing the same thing—and loving every minute of it, even though juggling a full-time job and the craziness of parenthood made it a bit stressful. 😵‍💫

With a background in fashion and design and a passion for entertaining, this process fed my soul. After years of hearing “you should do this for a living,” I finally took the leap—and The Real Happy Hours was born! 🌟 Now, I’m lucky enough to help other parents create magical moments without all the stress. Whether you’re juggling a busy schedule, don’t love the planning process, or feel stuck with decision fatigue—we’ve got your back!✨

To celebrate OUR 1st birthday, we’re hosting one final giveaway this month! 🎁 We’re gifting one lucky follower a FREE CUSTOM FIRST BIRTHDAY Party-in-a-Box—complete with a free personalized consultation and $150 towards the tableware, decor, and favors from their custom party vision board. 🎈🎂

For details on how to enter, head to our pinned “Give Away” post. Also, make sure to SHARE this with any families celebrating a first birthday in the next year! 🎉

Thanks for being a party of our story! Here’s to creating more time, more joy, and more unforgettable moments together, one celebration at a time 🥂💖
