Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the price?

We do all the heavy lifting! We will deliver, set up and style. The next day we will pick up, launder the linens and disinfect the remaining items. Please refer to our themes page to see what is included in each standard package.

Is there a travel fee?

We deliver within 12 miles of our business location in Hoover, Alabama.  Anything outside of 12 miles will have an additional travel fee dependent on party location and current gas prices. Please contact us for details. We reserve the right to decline due to distance.

How do I book?

Please send us a message through our Contact Us page or through email thehappycamperparty@gmail.com. We will then contact you to book your party. An invoice will be emailed for credit card or bank transfer payment, as well as a contract. Your party is not booked until your deposit has been paid and the contract has been signed.

Is there a deposit? When does the remaining balance need to be paid off?

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required at time of booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full 72 hours PRIOR to your event. Failure to pay 72 hours prior will result in cancellation of your party. Your party is not booked until your deposit has been paid and the contract has been signed. You may add additional tents up to 48 hours before the party, if they are available but they cannot be subtracted after the initial booking.  If a request to add more tents is made within 7 days of the party, The Happy Camper Party reserves the right to decline the addition if we do not have the proper supplies to accommodate the request.
