Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Payment:

To reserve your chosen date for an indoor sleepover, we require a deposit of half the total party balance as well as a security deposit. A week prior to the event, we’ll touch base to confirm guest numbers and discuss any additional requests or add-ons. Following this confirmation, we’ll send an invoice for the remaining balance, which is due seven days before the party date to ensure everything’s set for a fantastic night!

Final payment is due 1 week (7 days) prior to the reserved party date. If the full remaining balance is not received at least 5 days prior to the party, the event will be cancelled and result in the loss of the paid deposit and will require a new deposit to reschedule as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

Last-minute bookings (Less than 7 days prior to the event) are subject to availability and full payment must be received to book the event.

Please book your party as soon as possible to allow us time to customize your party and purchase any extra items we need to make it extra special.  We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance if possible. Reservations are limited and scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Events booked 7 days or less of the date requested are subject to rush fees.

Please complete the booking form on our website to request your sleepover date. Include any additional information we should know about your party, guests, theme, or requests. We will contact you after reviewing your party request and will email an invoice for the deposit due (half of the party balance plus the security deposit). Once your payment is received, you will receive confirmation that your party has been scheduled.

Absolutely!!  Our themes are designed to be customizable so they will work for anyone!  We love coming up with new ideas and mixing themes together – Choose from one of our current themes or tell us something new that you have in mind!  We will always do our best to make each party extra special!  *Customized themes may incur an additional fee if a lot of extra supplies need to be purchased.

We offer several party add-ons that your guests can keep. Everything we bring & set up for your party must be returned in gently used condition (pillows, stuffed animals, games, decor, etc.). If there is anything missing or broken at the end of the party, replacement costs will come out of the deposit.  We will provide a list of everything that must be returned as well as what can be kept when we deliver your party prior to the event.

You are more than welcome to provide your own balloon garland or other decor to any of our party set ups instead of renting/purchasing them through us. However, we will not be responsible for arranging the items and your items will need to be put up/attached with non-damaging methods after the set up is complete. 

Please do not allow crafts, glitter, slime, food, or drinks in the set ups. If there is any damage, stains, or missing items, the replacement costs will come out of your deposit. Pretzels, popcorn, and gummy candy are great options for snacks that won’t stain the bedding. Idea: put down a towel while they eat just in case!

No limits here!  Our sleepover parties and picnics work best for ages 5 and up (teens & adults love our parties too!).  For kiddos under the age of 5, we offer amazing soft play areas for birthday parties, wedding receptions, and “just because”!  

Party Delivery & Set Up:

Our indoor sleepover setup window can occur between 12 pm – 4 pm. Setup usually takes 2 hours or less. Cleanup begins as early as 10 am, typically taking 1 hour or less.

 

Outdoor Bell Tent Setup takes about 25-30 minutes to pitch the tent and 2-4 hours to set up and decorate, depending on the number of guests and chosen theme/décor.  Cleanup typically takes 1-1.5 hours.

 

We will give you an estimate of how long we think set up will take in the confirmation email we send after a booking is finalized. Please let us know if you have any questions!

There are many configurations we can set up your sleepover to work with the space you provide. It is very helpful if you are able to provide measurements for the available party space as well as photos at the time of booking your event.

Each tent/teepee and bed set up is about 48″wide by 6 feet long. Depending on the number of guests and your available space, a beautifully decorated canopy is a great option for smaller spaces.  We also offer our sleepover setups without tents as a space-saving idea.

  • Please have the party area clear of all furniture/other décor and vacuum/mop the area before we arrive so that set up goes smoothly!
  • We ask that all children and animals are away from the space while we set-up and pack-up.
  • When it is time for pick-up, please return all rented items to the tent area and then leave the rest to us! We will fold up and pack away all of the items.

Yes! Each additional night is 50% of your package price.

My Dream Party is based in Missoula, MT. In-town sleepover party delivery is included in your package price. We are happy to deliver out of town as well, with an additional delivery fee. Please contact us for a quote for an out-of-town party.

We will need an outlet close to the setup area to inflate the air mattresses.

All fairy/string lights are LED and battery operated which means little to no heat will be projected and no outlets will be needed to keep them on.

Please keep in mind that our string lights are over 5 and 10 feet in length therefore, a parent should be present at ALL TIMES, as this can be a choking/stranglation hazard.

Although LEDs are known to be more energy efficient and not get hot, we recommend they be turned off after 2 hours of use and not to be used overnight.

Our slumber party tents and teepees can be set up inside or in one of our outdoor glamping bell tents!  Depending on the weather, we may be able to set up a few tents or teepees outdoors for picnics, weddings, or special events.  Contact us with any questions.

A pillow to sleep on is NOT provided for hygiene reasons. Please ask your guests bring their own.

The party is your time to enjoy! We will have everything set up before the party starts and will return the next day to take it all down.

Changes & Cancelation:

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel your booking. Deposits are non-refundable and cancellation fees may occur depending on how far in advance the party is cancelled.

If you need to reschedule your party for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. You can reschedule your event for a 20% restocking fee so that we can ensure to have the staff and items available to make your experience memorable

We will confirm the guest count about 7 days prior to your scheduled party. If a guest cancels prior to that, you may be refunded for that tent. In the event that a guest cancels after we have confirmed the number of guests, we cannot offer a refund for that tent. You can invite someone else to take the spot or we can set up one less bed than requested. We are also happy to set up the extra bed in a sibling’s room for a special treat!

Safety and Cleaning:

Safety is our number one priority.

All mattresses, bedding, fabric, and equipment is washed and sanitized the day of pickup and again before the next delivery. After each sleepover, all items are sprayed and/or wiped down with child-safe disinfectant cleaner. All linens are laundered in Free & Clear detergent in hot water. All spot clean only items are disinfected and steamed.
