One Hour Parties™ was founded in 2001 and is a privately held corporation based in Seattle, Washington.

Entrepreneurs Leanne Mumm Pardo and Christopher Hughes started One Hour Parties to fulfill their dream of building an exciting consumer brand that was innovative, fun and alive. The company strives to offer simple and delicious products that transport people to their "happy place" — whether it's building a sundae or devouring a cupcake — at any hour of the day. The company quickly found a niche for their affordable and creative celebrations and responded with a line of parties perfectly suited for the office and home. Future goals for One Hour Parties include national expansion as well as a new line of consumer products and services.
