Larger size wood and personalized name, address or date requests available for an additional cost.
"If I host a Private Event, and less guests arrive, what happens?"
Regardless of attendance you are still required to pay for the 'minimum' number of participants depending on where you live in Wisconsin. (+2 participants for every +10 miles beyond the 40 mile radius of Wausau WI. EXAMPLE: A party in Appleton is approximately 90 miles from Wausau. The minimum required would be 18 participants.) Having your guests pre-pay you, is a great way to avoid last minute cancellations and back-outs.

"Is it messy?"
That really depends on how wild U are- We keep the 'mess factor' to a minimum and have never had a bad paint incident, (*knocks on wood!) however we cannot control U or your guests! We provide aprons, and plastic table covers just in case. Acrylic paint easily comes off of most hard surfaces so we always recommend a non-carpeted room. Good news, acrylic paint washes off hands easily and will come out of most fabrics if it is still wet and washed immediately. Once it dries on your clothes or couch, it will be permanent. Basically, DO NOT WEAR SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO RISK GETTING PAINT ON. Maybe you will like your shirt better with a splash of orange? Sign that shirt and call it art! Bottom line, you paint at your own risk and U Paint & Party will not be held liable for any damages associated with hosting a paint party...okay, serious stuff over... now let's have some fun!
