Fall is here! Pumpkins are here! That’s right we are all excited. Jokes aside Fall is one of the best times of year to plan something fun and cozy indoors. It’s why it’s our favorite season of the year to host paint parties!
Have you been curious about hosting your own paint party? Perhaps you have been to an Artvana paint night event and want to share the experience with your friends and family. I can tell you from experience that a paint party brings people together!
You will have so much fun creating with your people during the 2-hour class. You WILL discover things about your friends and family that you didn’t know! See how everyone’s creativity manifests on the canvas differently and enjoy the after-party of looking at everyone’s artwork!
One of my favorite things about private paint parties is how they engage and keep a group together. Sometimes, when you are hosting a party, it’s hard to keep everyone entertained and having fun. Sometimes your party breaks up into groups and some can feel left out. That doesn’t happen with a paint party.
You will get to choose your date and time, your artist will arrive around an hour early for set up. Everyone gets checked in, takes a seat, and then it’s time to paint! Your artist will guide the entire group through the painting as you share laughs, techniques, ideas, and more with each other. Who will be the teachers’ pet? Who will be the perfectionist? And who will go rogue?
Here are some tips for hosting your party and some of our favorite ideas we have seen from hosts over the years:
TIPS:
Have tables and chairs for the number of painters you will have, folding tables and chairs work fine. You will need the same amount of room as if you were going to eat dinner. We will cover the tables when we arrive unless you have a special theme and use your own covers.
Tell guests to arrive 20-30 min early from the painting start time. This gives them a chance to settle in and we all have that one ‘late’ friend.
Guests can pay with cash, check or card at the party be sure to let them know we take these type of payments ahead of time.
Get everyone involved by letting them contribute food or drinks or something fun to the gathering.
PARTY THEMES:
Cider and Canvas party – Simmer a huge pot of cider for you and your guests, drop in the cinnamon and mulling spices and we will bring the canvas. Your house will smell great and everyone will be so cozy! Choose a cozy fall painting from our gallery to match your theme. Cookies also pair well with this party.
Paint and Pumpkins party – This ones all about the pumpkins! Bake your treats with pumpkin and ask your guests to only bring pumpkin-themed dishes! Daytime parties can make a PSL inspired coffee drink option, evening events can experiment with pumpkin flavored cocktails. Choose a pumpkin painting and the stage will be set for a beautiful gathering you will remember for years to come.
Spooky sip and Paint party – Halloween is a great time to get your friends together if spooky is your style! Go all out with creepy snacks and cocktails and top it all off with one our Halloween painting options, you can create your Halloween decor while having a blast painting! We have many new spooky options in the gallery to choose from!
Holiday Ornament Painting party – One of our favorites! We love creating a new tradition with our painters as we hand-paint rustic wooden ornaments in this class style. We release a new ornament set each year for you to choose from! We have Gnomes, we have Folk, we have Traditional, We have winter Critters and more! Add these special items to your own tree or give them as keepsake gifts! Ornament parties are great for Fall dates so you can have your holiday decor ready for the Christmas season!
I hope these party ideas and themes inspire you to create a hands-on Fall season full of experiences shared with your friends and family! To book a party email your preferred date and time to info@artvana.life
