Throw the Prettiest Barbie Painting Party!

8/7/2023

Have you seen the Barbie movie yet? Between our almost all-female team here at The Sketching Pad, the ladies who come into the studio to paint with us, and the girls we teach in classes, the Barbie buzz is really something! Whether you found the storyline to be moving, or you just like sparkles, throwing a Barbie Painting Party is a great excuse for some girl time. We've released a Barbie Canvas Painting Kit to ensure that the painting part of your party is covered. Next, we gathered all the best Barbie-themed snacks and decorations to make your party planning a breeze!
BARBIE PAINTING PARTY

BARBIE CANVAS PAINTING KITS!

Painting parties are a blast, but being sure that you have all the right supplies can be stressful. When you order canvas painting kits from The Sketching Pad, we send you everything you'll need, including a canvas with the design drawn out for you. You'll also receive a video tutorial that you can pull up on the tv or project on the wall, so your guests can follow along!
One thing that's included with the Barbie Canvas Painting Kit is glitter paint! We hear you - glitter can be a huge mess in your house when you use it for craft projects. But the glitter we include in this kit is a gel that you brush on just like the rest of the paint, so you won't be finding glitter in your carpet for months. It's practically mess-free!

INVITE YOUR GUESTS IN STYLE

Sending invitations that are on theme is a great way to get your guests excited about your painting party. The easiest way to do that is to order a file on Etsy that you can edit on Canva! The invitation shown here was created by MollysPrintCo. This invitation works whether you're throwing a party for kids or adults because let's be real - pink and girlie are what we're going for here!
Be sure to add into the invitation that they'll get to paint during your party - it'll make them even more excited!

BARBIE PARTY DECORATIONS

The most important thing is to think pink, white, black, and sparkly! Not everything has to have Barbie's face on it to be perfect for your party - in fact, keep those touches to a minimum.

We love how eye-catching this table setup is from Love the Day. This black and white table runner adds a pop of contrast, and the light pink roses are a pretty and feminine touch. You could add these touches to your refreshment tables or to your painting tables, but be sure that the table runner is disposable if you'll be laying your canvases on it.

Creating large-scale, elaborate decorations is usually not necessary to throw a party that looks fabulous, but this party is BEGGING for a photo op! Your guests will love taking photos in their very own Barbie box. You can make your own or order one online!

The best way to make a big impact with less effort is looking for decorations that are bold and eye-catching. You don't have to include a ton of small things - just select a few high-impact decorations, stick with a specific color scheme, and keep it simple.

The great thing about throwing a painting party is that the activity itself adds to the color and flair of the event. You don't have to decorate quite as much, because the room will be full of Barbie paintings!
Looking for more ideas on setting up your painting activity and decorations? We'd love to send you our FREE guide: Every Step to the Perfect Painting Party. It lays out everything you'll need to prepare for your party, all of the supplies you'll need, and so much more!

ADD SOME ACCESSORIES

Whether your Barbie painting party is for kids or adults, your guests are going to love this idea! Encourage them to wear pink, and provide fun accessories for them to put on during the party! Of course, this example from Twinkle Twinkle Little Party was a kids party, but adults like to play dress up too. They just need you to give them an excuse to do it!
Because it typically takes a couple of hours to paint a canvas, you don't have to add a lot of activities to your party. The painting is the activity! That said, if you want to add in another activity, consider a quick Barbie-themed game or something that doesn't take a lot of time.

ADD SOME PINK REFRESHMENTS!

Pink refreshments can be the finishing touch that makes your event the prettiest Barbie party!

Keep it simple by adding an easy pink signature drink, or go all the way and create a beautiful Barbie cake that will wow your guests. Because of how much fun they'll have painting, you can go as simple or elaborate as you'd like on the refreshments. As long as there's something pink in there, you're all set!
