What’s better than a bachelorette party? An ACOTAR-themed bachelorette party where your squad gets to unleash their creativity while sipping cocktails! Let’s take the classic “Painting with a Twist” and give it a fae-tastic makeover. Whether your group is obsessed with Velaris or fascinated by Rhysand’s wings, this is a night filled with art, laughter, and some serious Night Court vibes.
The Venue & Setup
Location:
• Book a local studio that offers painting sessions or host it at home. Many studios offer mobile options where instructors can bring the fun to your space!
ACOTAR Decorations:
• Transform the venue into a Velaris-inspired sanctuary with fairy lights, celestial decor, and dark florals. Think deep blacks, midnight blues, and twinkling lights to evoke the magic of the Night Court. Add touches of crescent moons and stars to capture the beauty of Starfall.
Painting Themes
Here are some fun ACOTAR-themed paintings you can choose for the event:
1. Starfall Over Velaris: The dreamy sky with shooting stars over the City of Starlight, complete with soft blues, purples, and shimmering stars.
2. Night Court Symbol: Guests can create abstract paintings featuring the iconic crescent moon and stars of the Night Court.
3. Rhysand’s Wings: Paint simple yet beautiful depictions of Illyrian wings in watercolor style, or Rhysand’s intricate tattoos.
4. Velaris Skyline: Create a magical skyline of Velaris at night, capturing the essence of the City of Starlight with sparkling stars and majestic mountains.
Custom Elements to Elevate the Night
• Dress Code: Encourage guests to dress casually (paint splatters happen!), but accessorize with flower crowns, fairy lights, or a starry touch to channel their inner High Fae.
• Signature Drinks: Make the evening extra special with a signature Night Court cocktail. Think dark berry mixes, shimmering with edible glitter to evoke the Starfall sky.
• Food & Snacks: Light, elegant bites are the way to go. Charcuterie boards with cheeses, fruits, and sparkling drinks are the perfect blend of classy and casual.
Personal Touches for the Bride
• Bridal Canvas: Set the bride apart with her own “High Lady” themed canvas—something personal and different from what the rest of the group paints. Bonus points for incorporating ACOTAR quotes!
• Pre-drawn Outlines: For guests who want a little help, pre-drawn outlines of symbols from the series can help create a masterpiece. Whether it’s the Night Court sigil, Rhysand’s tattoos, or famous quotes like “To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered,” these details can help ease everyone into the creative flow.
Keepsakes and Party Favors
• Custom Paint Kits: Send guests home with a mini ACOTAR-themed paint kit, including a small canvas, brush, and a set of dreamy, dark colors inspired by Velaris.
• ACOTAR Jewelry: As a token of the night, gift each guest a small ACOTAR-inspired charm or necklace, representing their place in the Night Court.
Fun Activities During the Party
• Henna Tattoos: Take the painting to another level by bringing in a henna artist to create ACOTAR-style tattoos on guests. It’s the perfect way to replicate the fae markings described in the series.
• Tarot & Aura Readings: Make it mystical! Have a tarot card reader or aura reader come and give each guest a little insight into their magical future.
Bonus Tip:
Send out custom ACOTAR-themed invitations (digital or printed!) to set the tone. Make sure everyone is prepared to dress for Velaris and come ready for a night of fun, art, and fae vibes!
This is more than just a bachelorette party—it’s a night in Velaris with your High Fae squad. And don’t forget to take plenty of pictures for memories that’ll last long after the paint dries!
