Gerbera daisies are known for their hardiness and easy style. Your Pink Gerbera Daisy Social Artworking-themed party will be known for its style and bright, cheery décor! Fill your centerpiece with a variety of this popular blossom, placing one or two small buds at each painting place setting. Pink cosmopolitans, raspberry lemonade and strawberry-flavored cakes and cookies not only tie in with the girly, fun color theme — they are sure to be favorites of ladies who will love creating the big, bold pink Gerbera daisy featured in this painting. This design is also great for hosting a breast cancer awareness party. Think about donating your paintings to a local organization that could auction your creations off for additional money to support its cause.

For the hostess looking for a sophisticated style for her painting soiree, a Tuscan Pear theme would be perfect. Use a rich color palette of greens, browns, and yellows to create a warm and inviting mood for the party. Stack pears on a pretty cake stand or dish for a lovely centerpiece. Use a fresh pear with a label or printable place card at each place setting to direct your guests to their seats. Recipes using pears are abundant, and you can create a menu filled with delicious appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts for your gathering. Serve cocktails including pear cider, sparkling pear wine, or pear martinis.

A bright and charming party theme would coordinate perfectly with the Shasta Daisy canvas. The fresh color scheme of yellow and blue will make all of your guests cheerful! A vase or pitcher filled with daisies would be a beautiful centerpiece option. Serve delicious appetizers and dishes that continue the color scheme. Cornbread muffins, artichoke dip, and lemon pasta are great choices. For dessert, offer banana pudding, mini meringue pies, and daisy cupcakes or cookies. Lemonade, lemon drop martinis, and lemonade whiskey sours are all great options for beverages. Create place settings for your guests using printable daisy labels.
