Black light furniture

A Black Lights Party is one of the coolest lookings and most fun to attend parties for both tweens and teens alike. This party is guaranteed to light them up!

BLACK LIGHT PARTY INVITATIONS

Start your black light party excitement by making glow in the dark invitations. Use black construction paper or cardstock and write all of your party info with glow in the dark markers, paints, or ink. If you want to take it a step further, use glow in the dark paint that is invisible or clear when it is exposed to light. Prepare this type of invitation on white cardstock to set-off the glow even more so. This will necessitate your guests reading the invitations in the dark, to find out all the fun details. Use regular ink on the envelope and give them a clue, so they don't think they just received a blank piece of paper. Say something like, "A Glowing Message Awaits You" or "Glowing News Enclosed."

BLACK LIGHT PARTY DECORATIONS

Start out by defining your party area. If you have places in the house that you don't want your guests to venture into, then use black light reactive rope to keep them out of those specific areas.

For best results, you will want to hold your party room in a pitch black rooms. Therefore, if at all possible, it is best to hold this type of party at night. If need be, cover your windows with black butcher paper to keep all hints of light out of the room.

Replace all of the light bulbs in the party rooms with black lights; the more, the better.

As your guests arrive, escort them into a pitch black room, which is only lit up by black lights and radiates with glow in the dark and fiber-optic items. For a really fun addition, add a fog machine. This will enhance the eerie glow of the room and add to the thrill of it all.

You might also consider using a bubble machine. Fill it up with glowing tekno bubble solution, then all it will spew out will glow in the dark. This is a perfect add-on to a black light party.

Decorate your party room with lots of white or neon-colored streamers, balloons, curling ribbons, and confetti so they all glow when the black lights are on.

Hang various sized disco balls and strobe lights from the ceiling for added black light party pizazz!

Be sure your guests wear as much white or neon-colored clothing and accents as possible. For example, lime green shoelaces or a pink fluorescent hat would certainly stand-out in a crowd. Be sure to bring out your guests' natural glow by adorning them as they arrive with glow in the dark leis, necklaces, bracelets, hats, etc. For added fun, be sure to have plenty of glow sticks on hand for everyone to use throughout the party.
