Despite what many people may think about a bachelorette party needing to be wild and crazy mine was not.
(and nor does it have to be)
What did I do?
I found a fantastic person that was willing to come to any location (I chose my sister's house because she had the space) and teach myself and 14 others (yes 14!) how to paint a beautiful painting.
You'll find the artist, Amber, at
Painting on the Prairies and I highly recommend that if you are from around these parts and wanting to do some painting you contact her.
Why?
First off, she told me that since I booked my party far enough in advance she could do a custom painting just for me! What!?! I felt so special that if I didn't see anything in her selection that I loved she would do something different for me (I went with the custom painting - which is apparently a huge hit now!)
I may be marrying outside of the Mennonite heritage but you can't take the Mennonite out of me. I needed the best deal for a private party. I didn't want my party at a bar of any kind and didn't want to have to find a community center to rent out. With Painting on the Prairies all you need is 10 people and it costs $350 (of course you can have more... any additional people are $35). If you have under 10 people the cost is still $350 which makes sense.. you gotta pay the artist for her time! And she'll gladly attend your party at your house.
Amber was so easy to work with! The plan was to possibly paint outside (weather permitting) but the weather did not permit for this. So instead we painted in 3 different rooms. All the rooms were on the same floor but still separated enough that Amber had to show the same thing 3 times. And she did a fantastic job working all 3 rooms.
Clean up was also super easy... to be honest I didn't even realize it happened.
Anywho, I'm beginning to sound like Painting on the Prairies sponsored this post and I'm just not that popular for that to happen... I'm just letting you all know that you should consider it!
All in all it was a fantastic afternoon and evening and I feel incredibly blessed that so many people wanted to come out and spend time with me and bless me with my upcoming wedding.
I couldn't have imagined anything better!
