Words to take to your supplier

A shower with a shared making table
A shared watercolor table gives guests an optional activity, while tea and pastries remain on a separate surface.

What I want to borrow: Choose a making activity when the guest group enjoys doing something together. A simple material kit and ordinary chairs let conversation continue without a competition or performance.
Adaptation to discuss: Use washable materials appropriate for your group and offer a seat for conversation without participation. Keep food away from art supplies and check the host space's cleanup needs.

Questions for our supplier:
• Can someone join without drawing or painting?
• Who will demonstrate, supply and clear the activity?
• Where can finished work dry before guests leave?

Scope to confirm: A shared making activity with materials, table protection and an optional non-making seat.
Responsible people: Host and venue or service lead; name the setup and clearing owner.
Before confirming: Test one activity for time and accessibility; count usable tools rather than buying only one kit per guest.
Working example (replace with actuals): Write the actual invite count, optional activities and service window first; allocate one setup job and one clearing job with named owners.
