April and Brad White transform children's sleep over parties to an even more memorable experience
As a child, I can’t recall many fun weekend plans that surpassed the excitement of a sleepover at a friend’s house! We’d grab our sleeping bags, pillows and overnight bags and head over! Sometimes, a pool party or a birthday celebration accompanied them. Other times it was simply a reason to get together to watch movies! Either way- we knew it was going to be time well spent and new memories made! April White, owner of Dreamy Little Teepees, has just elevated the sleepover game and brought a fun, new business to the Florence area! April brings all the party fun right to your home – no sleeping bags required! For over 16 years, April has assisted friends and family members with their wedding, holiday and party planning. She and her husband, Brad, welcomed their daughter, Hannah Kate, into their lives in 2014 and they have since realized there weren’t many companies, both in our area and surrounding cities, who catered to children’s parties. After feeling frustrated and wanting to give their now 8-year-old daughter a fun party experience, April decided to take matters into her own hands and bring her fun business to the Pee Dee. This was the start of Dreamy Little Teepees! A themed party event rental includes the delivery, setup, and pick-up of the following items: individual tents, twin sized air mattresses, linens (mattress protector, fitted sheet, and flat sheet), throw blankets, decorative pillows, tray tables, and various other decorative items (i.e., wood signs, string lights, balloons). All linens and objects are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each event. At this time, April is able to accommodate beds and teepees for up to 10 guests. For an additional charge, clients have the option to add on fun party favors such as bath bombs, sleep masks, and personalized/monogrammed cups. April enjoys

getting to know other small business owner and does her best to support other local small businesses in Florence by utilizing them for her add-ons. Perhaps one of the biggest draw to hiring Dreamy Little Teepees for your child’s birthday party is that the setup is perfect for anytime of year, including winter when pool parties or outdoor parties might not be ideal! April started her business to cater to younger children (ages 5+), but since opening this past year, she has also expanded her business to parties for adults, as well! These events include game nights, bachelorette parties, dinner parties, and soon we'll offer outdoor movie nights. Party hosts are able to rent outdoor movie screens, grazing tables and other decorative items for their events.
Currently, April and Brad are staying very busy with bookings and ask that you reach out as soon as possible to book your event so they can ensure a spot on their calendar! While a 7-day notice is preferred, they have setup events in shorter time frames and will do their best to make last minute accommodations, given that the staffing and supplies are available for the requested date! Clients are encouraged to contact Dreamy Little Teepees via direct message on Facebook or Instagram. They can also be reached through email at info@ dreamylittleteepees.com. From there, you can fill out a contact sheet and clients can expect a response back within 24-48 hours.
