A glow party is a party with a glow-in-the-dark theme. The more glow-in-the-dark items you can incorporate into your party, the more fun it will be for your guests. Because of the increase in popularity of this party theme, glow items can readily be found on the Internet and in party stores, making your party planning easy. Add black lights to your party room to intensify your luminescent fun as your guests find everything from their clothes to their shoestrings glowing in the dark.

Invitations

Get creative while making your invitations. Tape a small glow stick to the corner of your invitation, or use a ribbon to tie on a glow bracelet. Use a glow-in-the-dark or neon pen to write with. A folded piece of black construction paper will set these items off brilliantly. Most important, make it clear your party will be a glow party. That way your guest will not be surprised when she walks into your darkened party room.

Decorations

Lime green or white balloons and streamers look radiant under black lighting. Hang glow-in-the-dark stars, moons or other celestial items from strings of varying length from the ceiling. Have plenty of glow items to hand out to your guests as they arrive. Save money by buying a bulk party pack that includes a variety of items such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings and sticks. Invest in good quality glow items. Cheaper varieties will lose their glow before your party is over. Items lit by LED lights compliment glow parties perfectly. Look for LED lit items when you purchase your glow supplies. LED lit ice cubes and glasses are a great addition to your glow party and they make a great parting gift for your guests.

Activities for Children

Include games and activities in your glow party planning, especially if your party is for a child or preteen. Activities keep the party moving and bring everyone together. A game of hot potato with a glow-in-the-dark item will keep your kids giggling as they try to not be the one holding the item as the music turns off. Painting glow-in-the-dark shirts is a great craft idea and will give the kids an extra special gift to take home.

Activities for Adults

Even adults can have fun with activities at a glow party. If your party includes an outdoor area, glow-in-the-dark volleyball is a hit. Before the party, use clear tape to affix a glow necklace to the ball. You can have each team wear matching colored bracelets as a sort of team uniform. Glow-in-the-dark Frisbee or even glow-in-the-dark Red Rover can be a fun grownup party game when played in the dark.

Food

Incorporate the glow theme into your menu by serving food that looks cool under black light. Cupcakes with green frosting, white dips and sandwiches on white bread are all good choices. Place a few (non-toxic) glow sticks in your punch bowl for a glowing display.
