Our Wood Painting Parties
At a Creative Gatherings' Wood Painting Party, a party facilitator will bring everything you need to create a sign you love. The process requires no artistic ability. This is not freehand painting. You will use a non-reuseable vinyl stencil that we cut and apply to your board. To learn about Creative Gatherings, we have included important information, FAQs, videos and pictures.
LocationsWe can facilitate a party any where you want. Party hosts find a location, inside or outside. Homes, churches, businesses, restaurants, wineries, anywhere. The size of your location is the only limit as far as # of guests at your party. Usually 4-5 painters can comfortably fit at a 6 foot table and 8 painters can fit at an 8 foot table.

ScheduleMost of our scheduling is done online. We have 32 owners in 10 states. They input their availability into our online scheduler. At-home or smaller parties can be scheduled in a few clicks. Fundraisers, large events and corporate events will have to apply or Contact Us.

Advertising Your PartyAfter scheduling in our online scheduler, we will create an ordering page that will show available sign options and a Facebook event. You can invite people to the event, so they can see necessary information. Or if you are not a Facebook user, you can share the ordering web page with your guests.

FAQ-
What does the party host get?
If 6 people purchase signs, you get yours for free. (Up to $45 value!)
What happens if less than 6 signs are purchased for a party?
Your party facilitator can choose to cancel. If that happens, the $10 deposit will be refunded to guests. If you choose to still have the party, the party host will need to pay for their sign.
How many guests should I invite?
Four-Five people fit at a 6 foot table. Some people will want to sit to work and some people prefer to stand. Think about your guests' needs to make it enjoyable party.
How long does a at-home party last?
It can be as quick as 2 hours-3 hours. It just depends on how quickly you want it to be paced. We don't want people to feel rushed unless we have too.
What about hanging the signs?
We will bring hangers for you. Guests will have to install themselves later after signs dry. We do not install ahead of time because we don't want the hangers to damage the tables as we paint.
Following this process, helps us to always have everything we need to make sure your party guests create something the like. If you have any questions, please contact us.
- Scheduling at least 3 weeks out keeps it from being too rushed.
