How to Make a Night In Fun with Friends: The Ultimate Painting Party Guide
A night in with friends doesn’t have to be the same old routine of movies and takeaway. If you’re looking for a creative, engaging, and Instagram-worthy activity, why not host a Mini Paint by Numbers party? With everything you need—pre-framed 20x20 cm canvases, paint, brushes, and easels—this is the perfect way to turn an ordinary evening into an unforgettable artistic experience.
Why a Paint by Numbers Night is the Perfect Activity
A paint by numbers party isn’t just fun; it’s also a stress-free way to bring friends together for a relaxing yet entertaining night. Here’s why it’s the ideal activity for your next gathering:
No Artistic Skills Needed – Whether you're a pro or can barely draw a stick figure, anyone can create a stunning masterpiece.
Great for Conversation – Painting creates a laid-back atmosphere where conversation flows naturally.
Beautiful Keepsakes – Instead of just memories, each guest takes home their own framed artwork as a reminder of the evening.
Aesthetic & Social Media-Worthy – Set up your painting station beautifully and capture shareable moments.
How to Host a Mini Paint by Numbers Night
1. Set the Scene
Create a cozy and inspiring environment to enhance the experience:
Set up individual easels for each guest, with a 20x20 cm Mini Paint by Numbers canvas at their place.
Lay out brushes, water cups, and napkins for easy access.
Add soft lighting, candles, or fairy lights to create a relaxing atmosphere.
2. Choose a Theme
Themes make the night even more special! Consider these ideas:
Wine & Paint – Pair your painting session with a selection of wines.
Cocktail & Canvas – Serve DIY cocktails that match the colors of your paintings.
Seasonal Art Night – Pick canvases that reflect the season (flowers for spring, winter landscapes, etc.).
3. Provide Snacks & Drinks
Fuel creativity with delicious treats:
Offer finger foods like cheese boards, fruit platters, and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Provide mocktails or cocktails that match the color palette of your paintings.
4. Play a Fun Playlist
Music sets the mood! Create a playlist with upbeat or chill vibes to keep the energy flowing while everyone paints.
5. Make It Interactive & Fun
Have mini painting challenges like “Who can finish the fastest?”
Take progress pictures for a before-and-after reveal.
Let each person explain their artwork at the end for a fun discussion.
