We love that not only is this snack tray  by @helleorbeck on Instagram super cute and easy, it's also pretty healthy! All you need to make this crazy cute spooky fruit is some edible eyes, some icing in a small piping bag or squeeze bottle, and fruit of your choice! Add marshmallows and chocolate-covered raisins, berries, or nuts if you want some extra sweetness! If you want a savory platter, check out this charcuterie board with SKELE-TONS of options  that kids and adults alike will love.

Now it's time to get to drinks; this is such a fun party to brainstorm because there are endless options, so here are our favorites! This Fizzy Potion Punch pictured will surely be a hit at your party! We love it because it is non-alcoholic so anyone can enjoy it. And it's straightforward with only four ingredients! If you want a drink recipe that's more fun than spooky, check out this Orange Halloween Punch recipe. It's only two to three ingredients, and it's so cute! Or, if it's a little cooler where you live, you could make some Halloween Hot Chocolate! ​

These vintage inspired party plates and napkins from @bonjourfete are to die for! They do a great job of transporting you back in time with their classic quality.

Coming up with new costume ideas every year is a breeze for some. Still, it can be a challenge for others, especially when you want something unique. However, you can't have a Halloween party without some sort of costume, so here are our favorite lists of costumes depending on your vibe! This list from Good Housekeeping has 99 great options for couples, singles, and groups, including this fantastic Bob Ross and Happy Tree couple's costume. If you're looking for ideas for the whole family, check out this list of general family costume ideas and this list of Disney-specific costume ideas. You'll love these ideas specifically for kids, too; our favorites on the list are the swan, garden gnome, and mushroom!

A great way to use your leftover paint from your kits is to get some mini pumpkins from either your local pumpkin patch or a craft store and paint little designs on them with what you have left! If you think you may need a little extra of any colors so you have more creative freedom, we recommend getting black, white, and orange acrylic paint! We love what @girlfriendsguidetoteaching did here with her kiddo, she two year old. They used fingerprints to make the ghosts, pumpkins, and spiders then she went in with a brush and drew on eyes, legs, and stems. How adorable!

Have you ever had the impulse to recreate the bleeding cake from the Black Space music video? We have! This incredible video tutorial covers how to make a perfect replica of the cake, although you might not want to stab it like Taylor does before you serve it to your guests. If we're talking about deserts, we also can't forget about Taylor's chai sugar cookie recipe and these madly adorable Eras-themed cupcakes! If you're feeling ultra-ambitious and want to impress, you could take inspiration from this cake. Every slice is a different Era of Taylor's career, and it's so dreamy.

For food, you have some options; my personal favorite is making puns from her songs for all of the food you serve, like the example photo. Another favorite is color-coding sections of food for each era! Green for Debut, yellow for Fearless, etc. For colors that are a little more difficult to find foods that match, you can pick pre-packaged food, like candy in purple bags for Speak Now or pink starbursts for Lover! You don't have to get many options, just a couple of snacks for each era! You can also gather some inspiration from Taylor's three favorite dinner party recipes if you're feeling something a little more substantial!

It's Nice To Have A Friend, especially when you can wear mix-match heart sunglasses together! Maybe I need to calm down, but Don't Blame Me for getting excited about these.

Whether you purchase or make them yourself, you'll be shining like Starlight with these glasses on!

I can't imagine anything more folklore than a mirrorball planter. I love adding natural elements to parties because it elevates things much more. It's also been scientifically proven that bringing plants into your environment raises your happiness levels, and that's no hoax! If you're not too into live plants, you could also make bouquets with the flowers Taylor has mentioned in her songs; trust me, there are a lot of them. If you need a little inspiration, check out this Reddit thread! ​

This Etsy seller put together replica Eras tour confetti to get anyone in that party mood. One way I could see this confetti being an adorable decoration is if the table you're painting on has a tablecloth that will contrast great with the confetti(think white, hot pink, metallic silver, etc.). You could scatter the confetti over the table's surface, which would look Gorgeous! Tablecloths are a great decoration piece and a great way to protect your surfaces and make cleanup a breeze when keeping tidy during a painting party can feel like Death By A Thousand Cuts. Check out our 3 Hacks To A Mess-free Painting Party for our favorite ways to keep things manageable!

"So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment, and taste it." I couldn't agree more, Taylor! If you're looking for another awesome activity to do before or after you paint, why not make friendship bracelets with your favorite Taylor references, lyrics, or song titles? You can make bracelets cooler than your Wildest Dreams with this kit on Etsy! If you want to ensure you and your guests have plenty of friendship bracelets but aren't really into making them yourself, you'll be sure to find something that speaks to you on Etsy. They have so many incredible options for pre-made and custom bracelets for you!

Ten Eras with ten adorable options for photo backdrops! We love this one from Pinterest with divided sections of tinsel for every Era.

These party favor bags are absolute perfection! You will need some things to fill these bags with, and we have ideas!

We also found these lucky 13 temporary hand tattoos, and they would be perfect to put on before you and your fellow Swifties see the Eras Tour film!

You literally can't have a Taylor Swift party without playing her music! You could listen to your own playlist or even stream her concert films during your party. But we made two playlists with our team's favorite Taylor songs. We put together a chill party playlist and an energetic party playlist on our Spotify, so there's something for everyone! And we will update with the Taylor's Versions of every single song as they come out! We put a lot of thought into the songs in each playlist, and both are over 2 hours, which is the exact amount you'll need for your paintings! ​

Sure, you could just text your friends inviting them to your party, but wouldn't actual invitations be so much more fabulous? We love invitations like the one linked because once you purchase it you can actually use it as many times as you want by editing it for all of your different parties! With this invitation specifically you can edit the colors of the text to fit whatever you're going to watch! And when you add your customization, be sure to add to the invitation that they'll get to paint during your party - it'll make them even more excited! ​

You don't have to go all out, but having a few simple Loki touches will bring everything together in the most magical way! We love these garlands by Tips De Madre. If you're looking for something simpler, stick to more neutral decorations in the classic Loki green and gold, even a couple of green, gold, and black balloons or tinsel garlands will bring everything together. Make sure that all of your plates and utensils fit the theme, too; you can't go wrong with coordination, and your guests will notice!

​If you really want to wow your party guests this concession stand set up will be sure to do that. I mean, I'm in awe and I'm not even there! Just like the invitations above all of the words on these downloads are customizable, so you can adjust anything you want to. The setup is perfect offering your guests a ton of variety if they're not into the party mix. You could also set up Adult Lunchables like these for each guest to enjoy! We like to make every one a little different for parties, so there's something for everyone. Plus, if you're like me and love for everything to be on theme; you can pack them with finger foods that fit the color scheme of green, gold/yellow, and black! I would do cucumber, broccoli, cheddar and gouda cheese, crackers, hummus, black olives, and chocolate for a little something that's sweet. All of those are usually a hit!

We can't get over how good of an idea this party mix is! Not only is it extremely simple to put together, but there's enough variety that everyone will love something in it..  The only things we would add are popcorn, because no watch party is complete without it!

Drink Recipe: Polka Dots & Pixie Dust

This mocktail recipe is just stunning and so simple and it's actually adaptable if you do want it to be a cocktail, you'll just substitute ginger beer or Sprite for champagne!  Take a look at this fantastic recipe by Polka Dots & Pixie Dust! You'll want to have a medium to tall glass like in the drink photo to the left so that the gradient effect in the drink is very visible, we recommend these disposable cups on Amazon! If you're looking for another couple of options you could also just serve Sprite or La Croix (LimonCello is a favorite of ours!). Or if you're looking to get a little more fancy this recipe has lemon slices on the top pointing up like Loki's helmet and we can't get enough of it!

Your kit comes with the following:

• Pre-sketched canvas

The best way to start getting your guests excited about your upcoming superhero painting party is by sending a themed invitation! The one shown here was made by BroussArt and is sold on Etsy! It's easy to edit to add your date and location info. Just be sure that when you edit it, you add that it will be a painting party. It'll get everyone even more excited for the big day, and they may want to pick an outfit they feel comfortable painting in!

A superhero party wouldn't be complete without a photo booth set up!

You can get crafty for your party and make a super elaborate cityscape like this beauty. Or you can easily grab one like the one pictured here on Amazon and hang it straight on your wall - no glue gun required! Your guests will love getting to practice their best superhero poses, and they'll be able to remember the party by the photos forever!

​While we're on the subject of photos, providing masks and capes for your party guests will make your photos even cuter. Not to mention that the kiddos will love wearing the accessories and feeling like superheroes while they paint!

The great news is that you don't have to order more superhero party supplies than that when you're decorating for a painting party. The kids' superhero paintings will be so colorful that the room will be feel like it's full of decorations, even if you only provide a few simple statement pieces.

Want more tips on how to prepare your home for your party and keep messes to a minimum? Check out our post 3 HACKS TO A MESS-FREE PAINTING PARTY.

Painting is sure to make the kiddos hungry! We always recommend finger-foods when throwing a painting party. Eating a heavy plate of food with lots of sauces while holding a paint brush in one hand is sure to be a huge mess for everyone involved. Let's avoid that!

Anything mess-free that you can eat a little at a time is going to be the best. Creating a snack tray for the letters in POW, as pictured here, is an adorable way to display a snack that is otherwise super simple. You can also see that the popcorn boxes are a fun pop of color, but there's nothing complicated about serving popcorn!

Serve one fun dessert like a cute cake or themed cookies, and you're golden!

These painting kits include:

• Paint in all of the colors you'll need

HOW TO REMOVE ACRYLIC PAINT FROM CLOTHES

Covering your tables is a must! You can use a plastic tablecloth, fabric tablecloth, a roll of paper, or newspaper. Keep in mind that if you use a fabric tablecloth, you very likely won't be able to get the paint out of it, so those are best to use only if you plan to use them only for other painting parties in the future. Being able to roll up your table covering and toss it in the trash at the end of the party makes clean up a breeze!

If your painting party is for kids, aprons are an absolute necessity. If you're painting with adults, they will still appreciate their clothes being protected from the paint. Acrylic paint will come off of hands easily, but clothes are a completely different story. Let's prevent the stress of trying to get paint out of clothes!

If one of your guests still somehow manages to get paint on their clothes, the best thing to do is rinse it out with soap and water while it's still wet. If that isn't an option, or you don't notice the spill until it's already dried, check out our post on how to remove dried out paint from your clothes! We'll show you the best cleaning products and process to use to make your clothes good as new!

Acrylic paint is always easiest to remove from hands and surfaces when it's still wet. When it's dry, it requires special products and some major elbow grease to remove, but when it's wet, a simple wipe will do! Keep a couple of packs close by, so spills or drips can be dealt with as they happen.

Our canvas painting kits will make throwing your painting party as easy as possible. The designs are drawn on the canvases for you, and all supplies are provided to make sure that you don't have to gather a thing!

I don't know about your kiddos, but my girls are swooning over the new live action Little Mermaid! Let's be honest - so am I! This summer is the perfect time to capture the mermaid magic and host a dreamy mermaid-themed painting party.

​My favorite thing about including a painting activity in parties for kids is that they get a beautiful and creative reminder of the fun that they've had to hang on their wall. It'll bring them joy and pride every time they look at it!

Don't make a million runs to the craft store, and don't stress about how you're going to teach the kids to paint mermaids. We've done all the work for you!

Our canvas painting kits include all of the supplies you'll need to paint your mermaid masterpieces. We even draw the design on the canvases for you! Plus, you'll even spend less than if you buy all of the supplies individually. 

All of our painting kits come with a video tutorial to walk you through every step of the painting, so you don't have to know how to teach the kiddos to create their canvas painting masterpieces! Just pull the video up on your tv, or use a projector to put it up on the wall. Our friendly painting instructor, Laura, will walk them through every step!

Whether you're a low-maintenance party planner (like me) or you like to go all out, decorations can make the party feel so special for the kids. Brittany from Sideline Socialite has laid out so many incredible decoration and refreshment ideas for you - you have to check them out! Personally, I think if you only used a quarter of her ideas, your party would still be pretty amazing. But if you like to take your parties to the next level, she can definitely help you do that!

With the right planning, the easy-to-use painting kits, and the extra special touches of decorations and snacks, you can throw the stunning mermaid painting party your kids are dreaming about!

We're continually adding to our Mermaid Painting Party Pinterest board, so be sure to follow us on Pinterest to see more ideas for your party!

No matter what painting you're doing, we always recommend that you start with your background. This allows you to be a bit messier at the start, and then have cleaner and cleaner lines as you work your way toward the more detailed and more textured elements of your painting!

​If you start with foreground details, it'll be difficult to paint around them and preserve them later on, so save those fabulous details for last!

Sometimes, what makes up the background is obvious. You'll just want to fill it in with either a solid color or a blend of a couple of colors!

For landscape paintings, the "background" is the sky. If there's water in the painting that matches the sky, you can do that now too!

When the sky isn't visible, it's whatever is furthest off in the distance! In this case, we'd start with the yellow in the center.

We know - we KNOW! You're excited to get to the details, but we aren't quite there yet. Now it's time to fill in each section of your painting with color.

For your more confident guests, they're welcome to start getting into fancy blending and shading. But for your painting party guests that are acrylic painting beginners, recommend that they just fill areas in with solid colors during this step.

Want to access FREE videos on how to mix and blend colors?

Now is your moment! Add all of those beautiful details like eyelashes, accent lines, highlights, and everything you need to make your painting POP!

If your base-coat layers from Step 2 are still wet, use a hair dryer to dry them. You can also just give it about ten minutes and grab a bite to eat or mix yourself another drink while you wait!

Now you know how to give your guests the confidence they need to work their way through their paintings - no artistic experience required! No worries if your guests are painting party beginners - you will all be able to create masterpieces that make you proud!

All of our canvas painting kits come with a full-length, in-depth video tutorial for the painting. You can purchase the kits with all of the prepared supplies, and put up the video tutorial on your tv screen or use a projector to put it up on the wall! Your guests will feel like you hired a professional artist to guide them through every step!

This FREE guide includes:

• How to prepare your home to be a painting party venue
• How much time to allow for painting
• A printable checklist for the supplies
• A detailed explanation of the art supplies you'll be using
• A printable painting guide to give your guests
