Throwing a glow-in-the-dark party for my son’s 9th birthday was a total blast! The theme was a hit with all the kids, and adults too! I mean, who doesn’t love black lights, glow sticks, and dance music?! The kids had so much fun with the face paints, glow sticks and all the fun stuff we set-up for them to get their GLOW on. And it was so fun to watch them snapping pics of each other, making TikToks and showing off their crazy dance moves. It was definitely a night to remember!
Glow-in-the-dark parties are the perfect theme for kids of all ages, from toddler to teen. It’s a theme that’s easy to adapt to suit different interests and ages, so it works great for families with kids of different ages. Our crew had a blast with all the cool glow in the dark party supplies we set-up. I’ve linked lots of them below.
