There’s something here for everyone, whether it’s a graduation, a housewarming, or just a get-together with pals to celebrate your birthday.

A black light party can be any type of themed party, but it includes the use of a special type of lighting called a black light. Black light parties are becoming more and more popular due to their versatility and ability to create some really cool effects.

For a black light party, the idea is that you get a special type of bulb or tube (depending on what type you have) that puts out a specific wavelength of light. The best ones put out ultraviolet light, which is invisible to the human eye but glows brightly under a black light.

The party comes alive with fun glowing colors thanks to uv light, neon paint and other things that glow in the dark!

Party Decorations

Read on for some amazing black light decorations that will make your guests say “wow!” when they walk in the door!

To get the best effect, make sure you get high-quality neon. Otherwise, it will not glow as brilliantly and will appear to be ordinary objects not designed with black light in mind.

Confetti

This black light confetti is incredible! Put it all over the floor and tables to create a stunning impression. It will shine brightly and appear to be out of this world! For optimum effect, this is definitely a quick and easy decoration idea.

Balloons

Black light balloons are a simple method to adorn the party space. They look like regular balloons, but they illuminate. They come in a variety of forms and sizes to suit your party space.

Garlands

They are the perfect way to decorate a party area and they will look absolutely stunning! You could easily hang them on the walls with masking tape. These are a must-have item for your glow in the dark party.

For these garlands, it is recommended that you have between two or three 27 watt black lights for a party area that is the size of an average garage or basement. For bigger areas you could use up to eight black lights – for example, a room the size of a school gym.

Party Outfit

If you want, you may have these shirts monogrammed as well. They look great under black light and are even bright enough to be seen in broad daylight. Adult and child sizes are available.

Adding glow in the dark stickers to your dress or skin is another fun way to prepare for a black light party. These stickers can be recharged in the sun or under a black light. The best part is that you can keep recharging them.

Party Food Ideas

If you have a black light, you’re probably aware that certain objects will glow when exposed to it. You can use this to your advantage and serve some glistening meals at your next gathering. Here are some amazing glow in the dark food ideas for your black light party.

  • Decorate your food platters with lots of glow sticks. 
  • Make an antipasto platter and drizzle with olive oil. Olive oil glows orange under black light. Egg whites also glow well under black light, so add some hard-boiled eggs or devilled eggs to your platters as well.
  • Potato chips and tortilla chips, and cooked pasta and rice can also reflect the black light and stand out. And some salad greens will glow a muted red under black light as well.
  • Did you know that tonic water glows in the dark? Make sure this is an option for a fun party drink that you could add to a punch or with alcohol for adults.
  • Glow in the dark jello: You can easily make glow in the dark jello by substituting tonic water for regular water. Choose a light colored jello such as lemon or lime for best effect.
  • Glow in the dark punch – use glowing jello, glow in the dark gummy bears and glow sticks for a fun drink!

Birthday Cake Ideas

If you want to make a glow in the dark cake, glow in the dark sprinkles are the easiest way to go. Simply sprinkle these wonderful sprinkles on top of your cake or cupcake frosting and you’re set to go! Sprinkles can also be added to cookies, ice cream, brownies, or any other delightful dish.

I’ve seen some of the best black light glow in the dark sprinkles, and these are the best I’ve seen. These are only available online and not in shops.

I’ve got you covered if you don’t have time to prepare a glow in the dark cake. These incredible glow-in-the-dark cakesicles must be seen to be believed.

They glow beautifully under black light and will be a massive hit at your party. They are made to order and delivered to your door. What could be better?

Party Invitations

Glow-in-the-dark party invites will help you set the tone for your black light party. Simply make your invitations out of black cardstock and embellish them with glow-in-the-dark markers or paints before writing your party details.

How to Download

  • Right-Click your selection.
  • Select “Save Image As”.
  • Locate the destination folder, or for easy-to-access, you can put them on your desktop, or just leave it as it is.
  • Click “Save”, and the download process will take a few seconds or less depending on how fast your internet access is.

Open the file through Microsoft Word or Paint (Beginner), or Adobe Photoshop (Advanced).

Pro Tip

Important black light party tip: Make sure all the ‘regular’ lights are turned out to achieve a dazzling glowing effect. Any other type of lighting will detract from the impact, so make sure you have plenty of black lights on hand to help your party space glow.
