Tim Brown - Oakland Raiders •  Desoto, TX 

  “Of all the parties my daughter has had in the past, her Simply Pretend Tea Party was her favorite.  She wanted to keep getting all the dresses and accessories out again to play even the day after the party.  I told Pam she had a really great business and we had a wonderful birthday party!”

Kris Tully- Dallas, TX

 

My daughter recently turned six and wanted a Medieval-themed party.  Unusual, I know, but it enabled us to merge her love of horses with the fun of dressing up.  We held the party at a local equestrian center, then contacted Pam for help with the medieval theme. We began brainstorming and WOW...did she come up with great costumes, accessories, props and decorations!  Pam provided a wide assortment of jewel-toned gowns and cone-shaped  "crowns" for our princesses, and for our knights we had an abundance of gear (armor, capes, swords, arm guards--you name it!)  The kids could have spent the entire party dressing up!  Not only did Pam have great party ideas, she really helped pull the party together with backdrops, wall hangings and other medieval decorations.  Everyone was so impressed!  We would recommend Simply Pretend to anyone wanting to simply pretend!!

 

Carol Cochran- Dallas, TX

What a fabulous experience! Pam made it incredibly easy and very affordable to put on a wonderful 5th birthday party that my daughter will remember for a very long time. She is organized and on top of things throughout the entire process which provides a sense of confidence that goes a long way.  The wide variety and choice of clothes and accessories, along with the ideas, suggestions, and extras like invitations and favor bags made hosting a party for 13 girls in my home pretty painless! The smiling "diva" faces in the pictures of my daughter and her friends are priceless!
 

Kristen Jefferson- Allen, TX

Troop 835 can not tell you how happy we were with your services! The costumes were in great condition and there was variety for every size, shape, and taste for fashion. When I opened the case to find games, music, etc and everything that we could have possibly needed. I realized what a great deal we had!  You have helped me teach a valuable lesson to 6-year old girls "manners"!   Thank you VERY VERY MUCH!!
 

Robyn Bitner- Frisco, TX

Simply Pretend is great! I decided at the last minute to have a party for my 1 year old and the Cowboy Trunk made everything so easy. It was a huge hit with my daughter and our playgroup with kids of varying ages. There was so much more included with the trunk than I could have imagined. The dress-up clothes, all the accessories, games, music...it was all there. Pam has thought of everything so you don't have to, including the clothes rack to make it easy and organized when getting the kids dressed at the party.  All the add-ons that are available are a big help too. I also ordered coordinating, customized thank-you notes that were so cute. It's a one stop shop. It's been the easiest, and one of the most fun parties I've thrown by far! I'm telling all my friends about Simply Pretend!

 

 

Jennifer Marini- Dallas, TX

Pam...we just wanted to say THANK YOU to Simply Pretend Trunk Rentals for helping make my daughter's "Princess Tea Party" a huge success!  We found the trunk and dresses fabulous!  Everything was very organized, easily accessible, and cute to boot!!  And because YOU are so organized, it made re-packing everything a breeze.  We did it in about 30 minutes.  So thanks again for your service...it was just awesome!!  Jennifer Marini

Amy Lorenz - Frisco, TX

With the help of Simply Pretend, we recently had a tea party to celebrate our daughter’s 5th birthday.  What a fun party it was!  Simply Pretend made it first class with wonderful dresses, accessories, shoes, and tea service.  And owner Pam Heinrich goes above and beyond providing many ideas for games, decorations, and finishing touches that made our celebration extra-special.  The rental process was very easy and straightforward as Pam is thorough in her communication and pays attention to all the details. Thanks to Simply Pretend for such a memorable event!

Kim Askew  *Dallas, TX

Thank you so much for helping to make my daughters' birthday party so special. They celebrated their  2nd & 4th birthdays and absolutely loved the princess dresses and accessories galore I rented from you. I had children from 12 months to 7 years, boys (pirate dress up) and girls, and all had a blast dressing up. All of the moms thought the party idea was so cute in fact several even commented that they thought it was the best children's party they had ever been to. I will definitely recommend you! You were so easy to work with and made my party preparation so easy...even down to buying the cute party favors from you! Thank you again so much for everything.

 

Sheralyn Mitchell* Highland Village, TX

This is my second time renting from Simply Pretend and
there is no other business like it in the area.  Pam
is a delight to work with.  She is so friendly,
helpful and makes you feel like she has known you for
years.  She knows exactly what you need to make your
party a success.  We did a beauty pageant murder
mystery theme and she sent us the perfect dresses that
even 12/13 yr old girls loved.  The disco ball was a
great hit to. She made it convenient and easy to pick
up and return the trunk and worked with my busy
schedule.  She is so organized that even putting the
trunk back together is not a problem.  I would highly
recommend Simply Pretend for all your birthday party
dress up needs. 
 

Mitzi Cleveland, Frisco, TX

I just wanted to say "thank you" for such a wonderful party! Simply Pretend hosted my 6 year old daughter's Princess party and I couldn't be happier with the end result.  We had 15 little girls at the party and they all had such a great time!  Simply Pretend handled all my arrangements from the invitations and thank you cards to the awesome party favors. The party included everything from Princess dresses, shoes, accessories/hair/make-up/tea party/fashion show/games and much more!  We were very pleased with everything and will definitely recommend "Simply Pretend" to our friends/neighbors that want to have the perfect party in their home!  Thank you Simply Pretend!!
 

Kate Perry- McKinney, TX

Simply Pretend prepared us and provided us with everything we needed for a truly fun birthday party full of special memories.  I received everything I expected plus more in the trunk, clothes, and accessories.  The music, party suggestions, party schedule and even the included safety pins managed every detail of the party.  The dresses were beautiful party dresses in all the sizes we needed with plenty of shoes, scarves, jewelry, hats, gloves and etc to go along with them.  Pam really takes time to ensure everything is just as you need it and that your party attenders will go home with fantastic memories of your celebration.


 

Misty Boyd- McKinney, TX

Thank you also for providing a service that made my daughter's birthday extra special. She hasn't stopped talking about "Cinderella" coming to her party. I have some wonderful pictures from the party. The adult Cinderella costume I rented from you was just perfect. Again, thank you very much and I will spread the word about your wonderful business.

Amy Sievert  * Allen, TX

I used Simply Pretend Dress Up Trunk Rentals for my 5 year olds soccer party.  It was absolutely fantastic! Everything was very clean and well organized. Pam made it very user friendly and the attention to detail was magnificent. The girls giggled and shrieked for joy when they saw everything. They loved getting dressed up and having their picture taken. Our little ladies loved the attention during the tea party and became our little divas when it was time for the fashion show. Everything ran smoothly and it was so easy to do. Most importantly, all the girls felt good about themselves and enjoyed all the special attention. I would highly recommend Simply Pretend for your next party.

 

Gina Carter  * Dallas, TX

The Simply Pretend party allowed us to have a fairytale at home experience. We chose a princess/knight party theme since so many of my daughters friends are boys. The little girls faces just lit up when they saw all the dresses and sparkling accessories...they loved all the “bling”.  And the boys transformed into mighty soldiers complete with cape, shield, helmet, breastplate, arm-guard and swords. The little extras like the princess pillow, and princess tray provided in the trunk, help with setting up displays in the kitchen around the cake.

The games and fashion show were a surprise and the kids LOVED walking down the red carpet for a chance in the spot light. The parents really enjoyed the fashion show as well. Goodies bags served to finish off the party perfectly. We chose the fairy bears and swords for the boys. Both were a huge hit!

Doing a party with Simply Pretend allowed the kids loads of fun and gave the grown-ups permission to play pretend as well.

Wendy McCauley * McKinney, TX

My experience with Simply Pretend was wonderful!  Pam was very prompt to schedule our tea party trunk and made it the easiest birthday party I've ever planned.  She included a suggested menu, c.d., book, craft and a script to go by.  It was awesome and I highly recommend Simply Pretend for your next birthday party!

Becky Anderson- Dallas, TX

My daughter loved her 6th birthday party with the Glitz-n-Glamour trunk.  There were plenty of dresses and tons of accessories for all of the girls to enjoy!  All of the girls (and Moms too!) had a fun time at the party.  It was so easy to plan the party with all of Pam's ideas and suggestions, music CD's, and yard sign that she includes with the trunk.  The goodie bags were perfect and made a real hit with everyone!  My daughter is already planning her 7th birthday party and wants the Cheetah Girl trunk!! Thanks so much Simply Pretend!!

 
Sharisa Lewis- Dallas, TX

This is such an easy and fun party. Simply Pretend does all the work for you -- from being creative to the materials and games and music. All you have to do is open your trunk and unlock the magic. It was a fairy tale dream party for my daugther. I can't believe how easy and fun Simply Pretend makes a birthday party. Unlock the dreams!

 

Karen Adkins- McKinney, TX

Thanks Simply Pretend!  My daughter's 4th Birthday was "simply" the BEST a princess could wish for!  Her guests ranged from 2 years old to 13 years old both girls and boys.  There was something for everyone in the trunk including multiple accessories.  The Simply Pretend suggested party schedule and informational brochures made it so simple to create a great party.  Thank you for the wonderful memories and the awesome service!

Kristen * Southlake, TX

Thanks so much for making our daughter’s birthday a memorable one!  Our trunk was very professional, organized, and tons of  fun! We couldn’t believe the wonderful array of dresses and accessories ~ you absolutely thought of every detail (hats, scarves, boas, necklaces, earrings, sunglasses, hair clips, cameras, purses, cell phones, etc.)!  It was truly everything we hoped for. The girls loved making their runway appearances from behind the red sparkly curtain and they fiercely danced the afternoon away in their glitzy outfits to the CD's you provided. Our Simply Pretend trunk party will be long remembered by my daughters and their friends. I would recommend you to anyone in a heart beat! Thanks again for a fantastic time.  

 

Angela Lemond, Allen, TX

“We rented a Princess Party trunk for our daughter’s 3rd birthday party and it was amazing!  Simply Pretend’s services made the planning and execution of the party so incredibly easy from the invitations, thank you cards, party favors and even a suggested itinerary of the actual party.  It was so easy that during the planning process, I gave birth to my son 5 weeks early and still went forward with having my daughter’s party because everything was all set-up and ready to go.  The costumes were a huge success with the kids and the parents of the invitees came away with great pictures from the fashion show.  We all have great memories from this party that will last a lifetime, and we look forward to using Simply Pretend again for other party themes!”  Angela Lemond

Arlene Ceaser Dallas, TX

The party was great!!!!  I had a lot of great compliments on how in the world I came up with all!  I just gave them your card and told them how wonderful and creative you were.

Thank you so much for everything you did and making this all possible!!
Thank your husband too ,for being so nice and accommodating with our tight schedule that day! 

Kristy Hatfield •  North Dallas, TX

When my 8 year old son said he wanted a "Knight Theme" for his birthday party, I immediately called Simply Pretend because I just knew Pam could help me figure something out. I had rented a Princess trunk earlier in the year for my daughter.  My concern was that the boys would be bored at this age with dress up.  Well, not so!  Pam put together a great trunk for us and the boys had a blast!  She also helped me plan a shield making activity and provided me with a suit of armor for the boys to take their pictures with.  The King’s costume was also very handy because our King  (my husband) took the knights on a walk around the block so they could patrol our kingdom and make sure the baby Princess would be safe.  All of this with our idea of a castle jump house made this birthday a huge success.  The boys all had a great time and even some of them said it was their favorite birthday party ever.  And my son, well, he wants to do it all again next year!    Thanks Pam!

 

Lilly Meneses* Frisco, TX

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  You are right, Daniel's cowboy party was a smashing success!!  Rachel the hostess was incredible, as always.  The children loved the costumes and all the games. Pam, you are fabulous and  I can always count on you! Thanks again!

 Monica Purdy  • Dallas, Texas

I used “Simply Pretend” recently for my daughter and sons’ joint birthday party.  It was a struggle to come up with a unique theme for a girl turning 4 and a little boy turning 1 but Pam made it all happen!!!  The party was a Prince and Princess party with TONS of dress up clothes for both boys and girls.  All of the kids there (and there were a lot) had a ball!  Pam was extremely professional, well organized and easy to work with.  I would definitely recommend her and Simply Pretend to anyone searching for a no hassle, very cute birthday party!

 

Laurie Ottinger  •  Allen, Texas

"My daughter Emily had a great 3rd birthday thanks to Simply Pretend. This was the first at-home party I had done and Simply Pretend's Dress-up trunk made it so easy. We went with a fairy princess theme and even had a castle cake. Emily's baby cousin, Kylie looked so cute in her Tinker Bell costume and Emily's 5 year old sister Hannah enjoyed being a princess butterfly. All the princesses enjoyed dressing up and they loved all the accessories. The cute butterfly bear party favors were hits as well.  Thanks so much!"

 

Carolyn Magee  •   Plano, TX

My 5 year old son, LOVES to play fireman/policeman dress-up. We decided to do a Rescue Hero party complete with costumes. The boys had everything from Super Heroes, Army guys to Astronauts. Of course anything with a cape was a huge hit for the boys. And the girls had darling ballerina, superhero costumes. Simply Pretend's costumes come with all the accessories - it is so well organized - each costume and accessory comes in a garment bag with a picture card inventory. We had the party on Saturday, we were able to pick up the costumes on Friday and return on Monday. It was nice for my son to have a day to think about which costume he wanted to wear. We also got our favors from Simply Pretend - she was great on working on a budget as well as finding favors to go with my theme. Who says little boys don't like to dress-up - my son and his friends loved this party.

 

Rachel Ireland  •  McKinney, Texas

"Simply Pretend was awesome and made my last minute party planning easy!  I didn’t have to think about it, Pam did everything for me and the goodie bags, too! It was way more than I ever expected and I refer Simply Pretend to everyone."

 

Angie Rother  •  Flower Mound, Texas

"We had a fabulous Glitz-n-Glamour party for my 4 year old.  All the girls had a great time, even my 11 year old said she had a blast!!  It was the cutest party we have ever had for the girls and the pictures turned out great!  Thanks Simply Pretend."

 
Donna Poirrier  •  Allen, Texas
My daughter's Tea Party with Simply Pretend was absolutely wonderful!  I really liked the dresses.   I had children ranging in all ages and there were costumes that fit everyone. Everything was so neat and clean and organized.  I got way more than I expected for the money and there was even a darling tea pot yard sign for the front walk.  I have been referring everyone to Simply Pretend!
 
Michelle Diorio  •  Coppell, Texas
Opening up the Simply Pretend trunk felt like Christmas- I did not expect to get so many great things for the party.  The ease of everything was amazing. The dresses were beautiful and my daughter said she felt like a Princess.  A mother that attended the party said it was the best party she had ever been to! 
 

Donnell Everitt  •  Rowlett, Texas

"The Simply Pretend costumes were a great hit at our Princess party and all the kids loved them.  The teachers already heard about the party before I even brought my daughter to school on the following Monday!"

 

Renee Oduntan  •  North Dallas, Texas

"I didn’t have a clue what I was going to do for my 4 year old’s birthday party. I was referred by a friend to Simply Pretend and I couldn’t have made a better choice!  The costumes were great and the girls did not want to take them off! We had a fabulous fashion show and took a lot of pictures. Simply Pretend helped us have a party my daughter will never forget!  The goodie bags were a big hit, too!"

 

Alisha Gamrach  •  McKinney, Texas

"I called Simply Pretend on a Sunday at the last minute because my pool party was going to be rained out that day.  Pam was so accommodating in putting a trunk together in less than two hours for me. What a lifesaver!  The kids loved the dresses and they changed their costumes at least 3 or 4 times.  There was a large selection of dresses, shoes etc. that were perfect for their age group.  The party turned out to be a huge success despite the rainy weather.  Thanks Simply Pretend!"
