Glow in the Dark Party
The ‘dark’ is really key in this party! The room must be dark, but still well lit enough that it will be safe for guests to roam around.
Entertainment
There was a time when people would make fun of raves and the people that would throw around glow sticks. Well the truth is, it is a real talent and the light show that you get is spectacular, like fireworks without the loud boom. Hire a talented raver and have them perform for the guests. If you can, ask him to teach the guests a few tricks so that they can really get a spectacular light show going.
Music is always a great addition to this party theme so a DJ would be a great complement.
Menu
Until someone invents glow in the dark food, we will have to settle for a more traditional approach to this party’s menu, but you can accent your food by using glow in the dark or neon
Tableware; that will look as if it were glowing when under a black light. Also, choose foods that are white and they will look glowing under the black light
Neon Glassware
Games and Activities
Glow in the dark treasure hunt any one? A treasure hunt is fun no matter what, but when all the clues are written in secret ink
Or how about paint ball. There are many paintball locations that have the glow in the dark option. This is a great addition to the party and it will keep kids busy and entertained for a long time!
Decoration
Black lights are almost crucial in this party to make that glowing effect. If you don’t use black lights then hang a lot of colorful Glow Sticks
