Parties

INSTAGRAM-WORTHY PARTIES…

You will have the opportunity to select the activities that your guests will enjoy from a list that we provide for you.

Parties include 55 minutes of art activities and 35 minutes for food.
Each party features 4 stations (except canvas painting party packages).
We can accommodate a maximum of 30 children.

All selections will be made prior to your party date through our online forms.

Food is not included in your party package. You may order delivery through us, or bring in your own food on the day of your party.

When you’re ready to book your party a $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date. Not quite ready to secure that date? No problem! We can pencil you in for 24 hours. Just know that if we don’t hear from you, your spot is not guaranteed.

A week after your deposit is paid, you’ll receive an email contract from our party coordinator, which will include more comprehensive information about your party, links to online forms, and the invitation graphic (print it or upload to paperlesspost.com)

If you have any questions during any portion of your party planning process, please check out our FAQs or email parties@themessyartist.com.

Please let us know if we should expect guests with special needs. We strive to accommodate everyone to the best of our ability, and having this information in advance will help us run your party more smoothly, and ensure that your guests are taken care of.

To make sure that you, your child, and your guests are completely satisfied with your party experience, our staff reserves the right to alter or add activities based on what we think is best suited for your group.

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your party’s start time.
If you wish to provide your own tableware, it must arrive at our studio by the Thursday before your party. Please bring all beverages and party favors on the day of your party. We will set up: tablecloths, plates, cutlery, napkins, and cups. We will serve the children the main entree and one dessert. Adults may serve themselves.
