What is a paint party?
A paint party is a creative and social gathering where people come together to paint, laugh, and relax. At the heart of these events are paint party kits, which make everything easy and accessible. Whether you're hosting a birthday, girls' night in, or company team-building event, paint party kits for adults are a fun way to connect and create.
Each guest receives a complete paint-by-numbers set—canvas, paints, and brushes—so no prior experience is needed. No instructor, no prep work, just open the kit and enjoy painting. These events are casual and inclusive, making them perfect even for those who have never picked up a brush before.
Paint parties are about more than painting. They're about spending time with friends, sharing laughs, and going home with your own finished artwork. They're simple to host, fun to plan, and guaranteed to leave guests smiling.
When should you host a paint party?
Paint parties are ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers, holiday get-togethers, or simply a cozy night in with friends. Paint party kits for adults are especially popular for casual weekend events where guests want to relax and do something different.
They also work well for:
-
Couples’ date nights
-
Bachelorette parties
-
Retirement celebrations
-
Self-care weekends
With a few snacks, drinks, and music, you can easily turn your living room or backyard into a cheerful art studio. Every guest leaves with a canvas they created—and the memories that came with it.

What kind of paint is included?
All of our paint party kits use acrylic paint. It’s easy to use, dries quickly, and provides bold color coverage. No mixing or blending is needed—just match the number on the canvas to the paint pot.
These paints are safe, non-toxic, and beginner-friendly. If stored correctly, the pots stay usable for weeks, so you can enjoy your kit at your own pace. We also include tips for handling drying paint or cleaning your brushes.
