Creating Unforgettable Celebrations Since 2002

For over two decades, Simply Pretend has been bringing parties to life across the DFW area. What started with just five party trunks has grown into a thriving business offering specialty events, luxury sleepovers, and unforgettable experiences—and we’re still growing!

Simply Pretend is proudly owned and operated by Jennifer Piatt, who has over 20 years of experience designing, coordinating, and bringing dream parties to life. Her passion is simple: helping families create meaningful, lasting memories through beautifully planned events.

“There’s nothing better than hearing a parent say their child will never forget how special their party was because of what we created.”

Jennifer is joined by her best friend and partner, Heather Holthaus, and together, this dedicated team brings creativity, heart, and attention to every single event. Their teamwork and passion are what keep Simply Pretend thriving.

So, what is Simply Pretend?
It’s exactly what it sounds like—simply pretending.
Where imagination comes to life and perfectly planned parties are made simple.
