Glow in the dark body paint is something else that you can offer your guests to add to their neon party outfit. You can allow guests to paint whatever they want on any body parts they have exposed and paint yourself with something fun and creative.
4. Location
It is best to set up your neon party in a dark room such as a shed, garage, or lounge room, or an area that has little natural light. You can also opt to have an outdoor neon party as long as there are not a lot of light fixtures ruining the effects of the black lights.
Take the moonlight into consideration when planning your neon party outdoors.
5. Theme Ideas
If you want to have a neon theme party to add an extra level of fun you can get creative. You can opt to throw a 60’s party with a peace and love theme or you can throw a neon disco-themed party.
Another theme idea is an 80s neon party where guests come dressed in spandex and leg warmers. If you are throwing your party around Halloween time then you can throw a Halloween theme party.
