Black Light Party

Glow Party Invitation Ideas

• Handmade Neon Invitations -- Print your party information on astro bright paper and then mount it on black card stock for a bright look.

• Glow in the Dark Invitations -- Use invisible glow in the dark paint pens and write your party information on black paper. Include a printed set of instructions for your guests to hold the invitation up to the light to activate the glow paint and then look at it in a dark room.

• Glow Stick Invitations -- Ptrint your party information on bright, decorative tags, and attach these with ribbon to some inexpensive glow sticks. Your guests can wear these to the party for a fun glow-in-the-dark accessory!

• Your party should be held in the evening so that you don't have to work so hard to block out the light to facilitate the glowing effects of your celebration.

• Also, on your invitations be sure to ask your guests wear white as this will glow under the black lights of your party.

Here are two bright party invitations we found that would work well as black light party invitations:

Blacklight Party Activities

• Decorate white t-shirts with glow in the dark paint. You can even use highlighter markers.

• Decorate a fabric tablecloth with glow in the dark paint pens. If you ask your friends to write you messages, this can become a fun souvenir for the evening!

• Write on the fabric draped walls with highlighters or use glow in the dark star stickers.

• Give out glow hair accessories.

• Paint your fingernails with glow in the dark nail polish.

• Dancing, Dancing, and more Dancing

• Glow Balloon Relay Pop - Divide guests in two or more teams. Each person races down to grab a glow balloon and then must pop it by sitting on it. They then run back and tag the next person in line. The team that pops all its balloons and has all its players back across the line first wins!

• Glow in the Dark Hot Potato Toss - Players stand in a circle and toss a glow in the dark ball to music; when it stops the person with the ball is out.

• Play glow-in-the-dark volleyball.

Blacklight Party Favors

• Glow in the dark cups and straws will make any beverage of choice look cool.

• There are a lot of everyday materials that fluoresce, or glow, when placed under a black light. Check them out here.
