Explore paint party ideas

Not sure where to start? Pick the path that matches how you are thinking about your event. Each path opens a short guide that leads to the detailed pages, so you never have to scan a long list.

Five ways in

Start with Choose this if you know Example
The occasion What you are celebrating A birthday, a shower, a family reunion
Your group Who is organizing and who will paint A school, a church, a workplace, a camp
The format How people will take part Everyone the same design, a choice, a drop-in station
The theme What the paintings should show Flowers, a season, a place, a name
The planning stage What you need to do next Plan, buy, set up, run, reorder

Choose a path

  • Celebrations

    Birthdays, family gatherings, paint and sip, couples, showers and milestones.

  • Groups and organizations

    Schools, churches, workplaces, camps, senior living, nonprofits, hosts and more.

  • Activity formats

    Same design or a choice, drop-in stations, pairs and other ways to take part.

  • Themes and seasons

    Nature, seasons, faith imagery, names and local places.

  • Plan and learn

    Step-by-step guides from first idea to the next order.

Paths overlap, and that is fine

Most events touch more than one path. A school fundraiser is a group (schools), an occasion (fundraisers) and a planning task. A church fellowship night lives with organizations, in church and faith groups. Start wherever feels natural; each guide links sideways to the others.

Have something specific in mind?
