How to Have the Best Glow-in-the-Dark Party this Halloween
Glow-in-the-dark parties are a fun way to celebrate a super spooky Halloween. With the right supplies, you can transform your home, garage, or backyard into a spooky monster revelry zone that your guests will absolutely love.
In fact, these parties are perfect for kids and adults alike.
Here are a few glow-in-the-dark party ideas to get you started.
Glow-in-the-Dark Decorations
Let’s start with the decorations. You can start with glow-in-the-dark balloons (these would make a great balloon costume, too!). You don’t have to stop there, though. Glow in the dark paint can help you transform your jack-o-lanterns into spooky sentinels. Add a few glow sticks to jars wrapped with a little masking tape, add some googly eyes, and you’ve got little mummies to turn into centerpieces.
Grab black plastic tablecloths and splatter them with glow paint, then add them to all of your tables.
To get the best results you’re going to want to block out all the light, so cover all your windows in black builders plastic. You can splatter those with glow paint, too! You’re also going to want to add LED black lights to ensure all your glowy items look their best.
You can find pre-made glow-in-the-dark decorations too. There are glowy party letters, glowy balloons, and other fluorescent and neon party supplies that can help you make your space look amazing. Use your imagination!
Glow-in-the-Dark Party Favors
You can create glow-in-the-dark confetti and place it into jars to create some awesome party favors that people love at just about any age. The same paint could be used to glow up small bags that can hold just about anything, from candy to tiny bottles of alcohol.
Glow Party Food
You’d be amazed how many party foods you can make glow. Certain ingredients do it naturally, including tonic water, cooking oil, eggs, honey, olive oil, ketchup, pineapples, and milk.
Some foods also reflect black light, like marshmallows, white bread, pasta, rice, and chips.
Create food that incorporates any of these glow-up ingredients or use some of the ideas below.
Here are a few ideas:
- Cotton Candy Glow Shots
- Jekyll & Gin
- Black Widow Oreo Glow Pops
- Jello Glow Shots
- Glow in the Dark Punch
- Glow in the Dark Cupcakes
Here’s one last trick: you can add liquid vitamin B2 to foods to add some additional glow!
Glow-in-the-Dark Party Ideas for Adults
You’ve already seen how just about any adult party cocktail can be given a glow-up.
Pump up the jams, make sure there’s plenty of space on the dance floor, and add some tiny liquor bottles to your glow-in-the-dark piñata, put plenty of food out and you should have the party atmosphere good to go.
Glow-in-the-Dark Face Paint
What would Halloween be without face paint? Get a black light makeup kit and get creative. Go spooky with ghosts, jack-o-lanterns, or skeleton features.
