Glow in the dark decorations are a fun way to turn any party into a neon-themed shindig. This is a great idea for kids’ birthday parties, but it works well for teen bashes as well. Teenagers love anything that bends the rules of light and color, so glow in the dark party ideas are sure to be a hit with any group of guests.
You can find many glow in the dark party supplies at your local store or online. Besides the obvious items like glow sticks, you can also get some colorful LED ice cubes and light-up toys. You can even add some luminous paint to food or beverages, making them glow in the dark!
Another easy DIY decoration is to put a neon spin on classic games. For example, you can use UV paint on standard twister mats for a cool twist that shines in the dark. This is a fun and interactive activity for the whole crowd to enjoy, and it’s easy to set up with just a few supplies.
For a more adult version of this classic party game, set up a beer pong table and add some glowing ping pong balls to the mix. You can even make your own neon drinks by adding some tonic water to your favorite beverage. This looks especially cool in clear plastic cups that will show off the tonic water’s colorful neon glow in the dark.
You can also decorate the walls with brightly colored streamers or posters that look fantastic under black lights. This is a great option if you want to give your room a quick and inexpensive facelift without hiring a professional.
If you have a few extra minutes to spend before the start of the party, you can even use a blacklight to make things glow a bit more. You can hang a black drop sheet to create a dark space, or even just put the blacklight on the floor and point it up at objects or people. The softer light will help them glow more, and the harder light will illuminate darker colors.
A few other items to have on hand at a glow in the dark party are some blacklight body paint and some black-light balloons. Body paint is super easy to apply, and it comes in all sorts of fun colors. It’s also safe to wear on skin, so you can paint yourself or your friends for a glow-in-the-dark effect.
The most important thing you’ll need for a glow in the dark party is a venue. Peerspace makes it easy to book venues that can accommodate your group in cities all over the world. Search by size, type, and more to easily find the perfect place for your event.
