Private Home & Venue Parties

We bring the party to you! Made Joyful provides all table coverings, aprons, tools, and paint supplies, and we handle the cleanup. The host is responsible for providing the physical space, tables, and chairs. If you need additional tables and chairs, please let us know. 

  • Booking: A $50 non-refundable booking fee is required to reserve your date. This fee secures your spot, sets up your digital guest link, and covers administrative preparation.

  • Minimum Spend: Instead of a headcount, we require a $400 total minimum spend in guest registrations. If your group does not meet this total by the event deadline, the host is responsible for the balance, or the event can be converted to a DIY Kit Drop-off.

  • Rescheduling: We understand life happens! Please provide at least 2 weeks’ notice if you need to reschedule. We are happy to accommodate one date change with advance notice.

  • Travel: Our standard spend includes travel within a 30-mile radius of Brentwood, TN. Additional mileage fees apply for events outside this radius.

Public Venue Events

Our "Craft & Sip" partnerships with local businesses rely on independent ticket sales.

  • Minimum Attendance: Public workshops require a minimum of 10 registered attendees to run.

  • Evaluation: We use a 3-day evaluation window. If the 10-ticket minimum is not met 3 days prior, the event will be canceled. All ticket holders will be issued a 100% refund, credit for a future workshop or given the option to receive their project as a Take & Make DIY kit.

Custom and Personalized Creations

Every custom project is designed, cut, and hand-prepared specifically for your home. Because these items are uniquely yours, all custom and personalized orders are final sale. We are unable to offer returns or exchanges on these items once they have been prepared.

Ready-Made Items

For our non-custom, off-the-shelf items, we want you to love what you take home. If you change your mind, we are happy to offer an exchange or store credit within 5 days of purchase. To be eligible, the item must be returned in its original, unused condition.

If Something Isn’t Quite Right

We strive for perfection, but we are also human. If your order arrives damaged or if we have made an error in your personalization, please reach out to us within 7 days of receiving your item.


To help us make it right:


  • Contact us at valerie@madejoyful.com

  • Provide your order number.

  • Include a quick photo of the issue so we can assess it.


We will work quickly to provide a replacement or a suitable solution to ensure you are happy with your Makery experience.

Workshop Registrations

Our workshops are community-driven experiences where materials are prepared in advance for each guest. Because of this preparation, workshop registrations are non-refundable.


If you are unable to attend your scheduled session:


  • Your project will be packaged as a Take & Make kit for you to complete at home.

Why We Have These Policies

As a small business, we invest significant time, materials, and care into every order before you attend our events. These policies allow us to continue providing the high-quality, custom experiences our community loves while being good stewards of our resources.


Thank you for supporting Made Joyful and being a part of our creative community.
