F.A.B Face Painting at Windsor-Essex Parties & Events
F.A.B Face Painting at Windsor-Essex Parties & Events

Planning a party can be exciting—but when you add face painting into the mix, it brings a splash of color and a few important things to consider. Whether you're hosting a birthday party in Windsor, a community event in Amherstburg, or a festival in Leamington, here's what you need to know to make your event a success.



🏡 Choosing the Right Venue for Face Painting

Your choice of venue can make or break the face painting experience. Here's what to keep in mind:

  • Outdoor Events: Face painting doesn’t mix well with rain, strong wind, or extreme temperatures. Cold weather makes paint less appealing to kids, and hot weather can lead to sweat smudging the designs.

  • Lighting & Comfort: Choose a shaded, well-lit area with a table and chairs for the artist. This helps them paint efficiently and ensures guests are comfortable.

  • Backup Plan: Always have an indoor or covered option in case of poor weather—especially in spring or fall in Windsor-Essex.

  • Space & Safety: Ensure there’s enough room for a lineup, and avoid areas near bouncy castles, sports activities, or wind tunnels that can interfere with painting or cause safety hazards.



🕒 Timing & Activity Coordination

If you're booking multiple activities—like inflatables or swimming—plan your schedule carefully. Face paint can rub off on bounce houses or wash off in pools, which may result in cleaning fees or unhappy guests.

👉 Tip: Plan face painting early in the event, or after water activities to avoid messes or disappointment.



👩‍🎨 How Many Guests Can Be Painted?

Our professional face painters can typically paint 10–12 kids per hour, depending on the design complexity. If you’re expecting more guests and want everyone painted within a short timeframe, consider:

  • Hiring an additional face painter

  • Booking extra time with one artist

This is especially helpful at larger venues or public events like community fairs or school fundraisers.


✅ Venue Permissions

Some venues may have restrictions or require approval for outside entertainment. Always check with your location to confirm that face painting is permitted and whether any vendor paperwork or insurance is needed.
