About Big Dot of Happiness
Back in 1999, Sherri (founder) was a stay-at-home mom with a passion for creating extra-special things for the people around her.
She started sewing character hooded towels for her friends' baby shower gifts. This quickly turned into a business concept of PARTY. As business grew very fast, Sherri needed to hire an engineer—and her husband Scott was the perfect fit! ;) Now, almost two decades and three buildings later – Sherri, Scott and the entire Big Dot Team run this remarkable party supply business called Big Dot of Happiness.
