Inspired by her daughter’s love of creating memorable parties, Marcela Gaviria created Hopi Teepees, Houston's premier sleepover teepee company. “I came across a similar concept in Australia and immediately fell in love with the idea,” says Marcela. “My vision was to create magical, beautifully styled experiences that kids would remember, while making the party planning easy for parents.”
With more than 60 themes and custom designs, plus spa and picnic setups, Hopi Teepees has grown into a full-service luxury party experience. Kids can also enjoy hands-on workshops and personalized favors to make the festivities feel extra special.
Marcela believes themed sleepovers are popular because they turn a simple sleepover into a complete experience. They give kids more time to hang out, make memories, and wake up for another day of fun. “After more than nine years doing this, I still love seeing how excited the kids are when they walk into the room and see everything set up just for them,” she says.
Kids enjoy themes that reflect their personality and interests, and parents love creating one-of-a-kind celebrations without worrying about all the small details. Whether the birthday boy or girl is into race cars, gaming, a spa day, or a favorite character, Hopi Teepees can help create a theme that feels like it's made just for them. Every detail, including the textures, lighting, and personalization, comes together to create a magical environment. And the guest of honor gets VIP treatment. Their teepee is always placed in the center with extra details and a fun gift, so they feel like the star of the party.
To elevate the experience, families can add spa or picnic tables or choose from different hands-on workshops. These add-ons not only make the setup look more complete, but they also give the kids a fun activity to enjoy during the party.
“A party becomes truly memorable when clients come back to us because they want to recreate the experience they had with Hopi Teepees,” says Marcela. “It’s also incredibly rewarding when they refer us to their friends and family. To us, that’s the best sign that we created something special.” hopitepees.com
