If you're looking for a great way to make your next night time party different from all the ones that you typically attend, you should consider making it a glow in the dark or light up party. Picture a minature rave but without all the controlled substances and you will have the right idea. With some great music, novel activities and a little bit of pre-planning this can become a raging success and it won't cost all that much either. You just have to make sure that you have enough time to wait for all the supplies to arrive!

There aren't a whole lot of things that you are required to buy in order to make this party a success but we strongly reccommend a black light (if you don't already have one) as it will make all the white and neon colored objects whether they be streamers, banners or even shoelaces glow in the dark. You can also get some light up party supplies such as martini glasses and half yard glasses like you see in the picture for a very affordable price. These will serve to illuminate the drinks that you serve and for some odd reason make them look more appealing ( I don't really understand the dynamics of human psychology). When it comes to the decorations around the party, consider putting up a few white balloons with glow sticks hanging from them.

Finally, when it comes to the dancefloor, clear out some space and remove any short or breakeable objects. We know you may be feeling lazy but its best to get all that stuff out of the way so that you won't be running and tripping over all that stuff in the future. The best way to be prepared is to remove even the chairs because people tend to be very low energy when they're sitting down. Some LED party lights around the peripherals will help people navigate the area as the black light is usually not the best at illuminating everything.

If you still need some ideas for a cool activity, you should consider giving people highlighters as the mark they make will be illuminated in the black light. Hand people some white T-SHirts so they can draw on each other and the surround banners and posters that you put up!
