CAMP HAPPILY EVER AFTER

The Best Trail We’ve Ever Taken

Thank You for Making Camp Happily Ever After Unforgettable

Saturday was more than a wedding day. It was a full camp-wide celebration built from love, laughter, family, friends, dirt, sweat, sawdust, twinkle lights, tacos, trails, and a whole lot of heart.

To everyone who showed up, helped out, celebrated with us, cheered us on, danced with us, toasted with us, and made the day feel so full of joy, thank you. You were not just guests at Camp Happily Ever After. You were part of the story.

Help Us See Camp Through Your Eyes

We had one view of the day, but you each had your own. The hugs, the hikes, the dance floor moments, the camper cocktails, the little details, the funny faces, the behind-the-scenes moments, and everything in between.

We would love to collect your favorite photos and videos so we can relive Camp Happily Ever After from every perspective.

You can upload up to 10 photos or videos at a time. Feel free to come back and upload more.

No moment is too small. Sometimes the blurry, silly, unexpected ones are the best ones.

Favorite Moments From Camp

From the first arrivals to the last dance, every part of camp became a memory we will carry with us forever. Here are some of our favorite moments so far.

Camp Happily Ever After in the Wild

We have loved seeing the day through your posts, stories, reels, and photos. Keep tagging us and sharing your favorite moments so we can add them to the camp memory wall.

Building Camp Happily Ever After

Before the music, the vows, the tacos, the tents, and the dance floor, there was a wild idea: to build a wedding in the woods that felt like us.

Camp Happily Ever After did not appear overnight. It was cleared, carried, trimmed, planned, painted, hauled, mowed, mapped, decorated, and built by the hands and hearts of people who love us. Every trail, sign, table, light, flower, and little detail has a story behind it.

This section is our love letter to the people who helped bring camp to life.

To the Crew Who Built the Magic

Some people came as guests. Some came with work gloves, golf carts, toolboxes, extension cords, coolers, ladders, patience, problem-solving skills, and hearts bigger than we can ever thank properly.

To our families, friends, Camp Crew, volunteers, helpers, setup teams, cleanup heroes, and everyone who handled every bump in the trail with love and determination: Camp Happily Ever After happened because of you.

We will never forget what you gave us.

SPREAD THE LOVE

As new business owners ourselves with Blitz Party Rentals, website and details coming soon, we know firsthand how much positive reviews, kind words, and shared experiences can help a small business grow.

Below are some of the wonderful friends, vendors, and businesses who helped bring Camp Chaos, oops, we mean Camp Happily Ever After, to life.

If you had a great experience with any of them, we would be so grateful if you took a moment to leave a positive 5-star review or testimonial. Share the details, the memories, the photos, the moments that made you smile. Your words truly matter.

Reviews are one of the most meaningful ways to support a business. They help hardworking people grow, help future customers feel confident in their choice, and help others create unforgettable memories of their own.

And because we believe in kindness on and off the trail, a quick note: if you ever have a concern with a business, we encourage reaching out to them directly first and giving them the opportunity to listen, respond, and make it right. The best businesses care, and the best customers give them that chance.

Thank you for helping us spread the love to the people who helped make Camp Happily Ever After so special!

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED ABOUT GIFTS

Your presence at Camp Happily Ever After was truly the greatest gift we could have asked for. Having our favorite people gathered together, celebrating, laughing, hiking, dancing, and making memories with us meant more than anything.

That said, a few people have kindly asked if there is still a way to send a gift. Please know there is absolutely no expectation. But for anyone who would still like to, we have included a couple of options below with grateful hearts.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ASKED HOW WE KEPT THE BUGS TO A MINIMUM

This may have been our biggest and best accomplishment – and we appreciate the surprise in everyone’s voice when they bring it up.

Yes, we had a solar bug zapper.

We also had a couple (literally 2) of solar mosquito zappers.

But mainly your bug- (and tick-) free experience was brought to you by… Ortho Bugclear Granules.

We used four 20 lb bags in May. They need to be watered, and well that would have been tough to do, so we spread them before predicted rain.

We added another two 20 lb bags in early June to additional areas we groomed after the first run. Again, before predicted rain.

The first four bags were purchased from Amazon here.

The second round of two bags was purchased at Walmart.

We used a traditional push spreader to disperse the granules.

Ortho Bugclear protects against almost every bug (Outdoor bug killer targets ants, spiders, ticks, fleas, armyworms, grubs, and more) except fire ants. It says it starts to work in minutes and is people and pet safe once it is dry.

Our LuLu has been out there multiple times during the creation of the area, at the wedding, and after. She’s had no issues (caused by the bug treatment).
