“Wine Fixes Everything!” Wine Glass Paint Party For Mom Friends

Want to get your mom friends together? Throw a wine glass paint party!

Once a quarter, my mom friends and I have a mom “ditch day,” where we take a break from everything to enjoy each other’s company. For this spring’s get-together, we decided to indulge in something a little different…. a wine glass paint party! We all love wine, we love to chat, we love any excuse to hang out, so why not?

5 Reasons you need to plan a paint party with your mom friends:

1. It’s a great excuse to get-together without the kids.
2. You can chat and laugh at everything and nothing.
3. It’s a fun way to tap into a creative side you didn’t know you had.
4. You have an excuse to drink wine and eat yummy snacks.
5. You get to leave with a cute gift you painted yourself!

We held our paint party at Bottles & Bottega, a cozy venue where you can choose to paint on canvas, boards, or wine glasses! Of course we chose the wine glasses because we love wine!

What’s a wine glass paint party without actual wine? We had several bottles of red, white, and sparkling wines for mamas with different palettes. The cheese, crackers and grapes were the finishing to touches to our “mom snacks.”

First we chose our glass. We could pick from traditional wine glasses, stemless, or beer glasses. The tables were set with many supplies: paint brushes of all sizes, q-tips, cotton balls, and sponges to make corrections.

Next, we chose our paint colors and flipped through pictures for inspiration. We painted, and painted, trying to match the pictures. When we messed up, we simply cleared the glass with rubbing alcohol and started over.

Whenever we needed a hand, the wonderful and creative instructor stepped in to work his magic!

The wine glasses came with post-instructions to bake them when we got home, in order to make them durable and dishwasher-safe.Afterwards we posed for pictures and more laughs!
