Painting parties started taking off a few years ago, and there’s no end in sight for the paint party! There’s something that people love about creating their own art pieces on a blank canvas. And it’s even better when you have a talented artist as your teacher! But what if you’d rather stay in the comfort of your own house for the art painting tutorial? Host a painting party at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A painting party is a fabulous way to celebrate a variety of events, from anniversaries<\/a> to bridal showers to housewarming parties<\/a>. All you need for the private party is the space and water to clean up. And maybe some snacks and wine for girls night! The painting party companies will bring everything else for your private event, including aprons, canvases, acrylic paint colors, and paintbrushes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for sip and paint ideas? Look no further. Whether your groups are beginners or experts at canvas painting, the teacher will tailor the finished art piece around your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Girls’ Night In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grab your closest gal pals for a unique way to celebrate with a “paint and sip” night! Hosting a private party for a baby shower? Send the mom-to-be home with some adorable acrylic paint decor for her new nursery. Know a bride who prefers a low-key bachelorette party? Set up a cozy private event for some wine, gossip, and a paint palette. Need fresh ideas for your women’s group? A painting party at home is a great option for any get-together! Peggy M. from Houston, TX planned the perfect event using Groovy Gal Painting Party<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I am in a Red Hat group and we were challenged this year to find different activities and to increase our membership. I sought an activity to host at my home since January can be crazy with all of the post-holiday lulls and tight wallets. Groovy Gal came up with a couple of economical options and was extremely flexible when I changed the event by one day to accommodate a larger crowd of guests. This was a great event and it was incredibly relaxing.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Little Picasso Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So you’ve had birthday parties at the bowling alley, the skating rink, and the local pizza joint. Running out of ideas? Throw a painting party at home for your little Picasso! Most people think of painting parties as something only for adults, but they’re great fun for little ones too. Most painting party companies can modify their paintings to fit the age group for your birthday party. They can also give you a variety of paintings to choose from based on your birthday party theme, color scheme, or difficulty level. Help your kiddos tap into their inner artist and create something they can be proud of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint-Teen Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even your tweens and teens will love trading in their screens for a blank canvas! Hosting a painting party at home is a creative way to celebrate their birthdays. They’re also a fantastic activity for after-prom parties, graduation lock-ins, and church youth groups. Painting party companies are wonderful at keeping up with trends and know how to offer paintings that any age will love. Some even offer different things to paint besides canvases, such as giant letters, cutouts, picture frames, pallets, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat, Sip, Paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want some tasty appetizers when you host a painting party at home. Make them easy to eat because your other hand will be occupied with a paintbrush! Bite-size eats are the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 Start off fresh! Even salad works when it’s on a stick! These Caprese Salad\u00a0Skewers<\/a> couldn’t be more simple to make and are guaranteed to please your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf57 Take things savory with some Tangy Meatballs<\/a>. Make them with only three ingredients and throw them in the crockpot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf4a Let’s be honest, no paint and sip party is complete without delicious mini-desserts! Mix up some cream cheese and marshmallow fluff for a quick and yummy fruit dip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddc1 Feeling fancy? Try these amazing Cannoli Bites<\/a>. They’re a little more complicated than most of the foods on the list, but it’s worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf4b Serving white wines? These Lemon Tarts<\/a> are the perfect complementary dessert! And guess what? Only three ingredients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7e Okay, now for the second best part of hosting a painting party at home. The wine! If you want to know a little more about how different kinds of wine pair with food, we love this handy infographic from Ties.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
