What to wear to a neon glow party
You can wear anything to a neon glow party, whether you want to dress up or not!
For those who have an event outdoors at night and are looking for something simple, try wearing white clothes that will stand out in the dark. If it’s indoors then neon colors work best because they’ll really light up under black lights! You might also consider going all-out with costumes fit for these birthday parties full of fun and laughter.
If you’re hosting the party yourself then be sure to include some free kids games like pinball so guests won’t get bored while waiting their turn -consider renting a few tables from your nearest bowling alley if there isn’t enough space at home.
Other suggestions for this type are neon-colored clothes, light-up necklaces, and bracelets or headbands.
When you’re getting your supplies ready for the party then it’s a good idea to double-check if they are going to be neon as well such as cups, plates, straws, and napkins – anything that will really stand out in the dark! If not just add some neon decorations like stars on top of cupcakes or balloons with strings lit by LED lights instead.
Most popular neon party games
- Pin the tail on the donkey.
- Don’t let your block fall!
- Pin-up girl dress up.
- Guess who? – this game can be played with cards or using a digital device like an iPad and projector to show pictures of famous people, then see if guests are able to guess their identity from clues given. It’s also fun to take turns as one person asks questions while everyone else tries not to laugh too much when someone gets it wrong. Guests will enjoy guessing which celebrity is being described in each question for hours until they finally figure out who it is!
- Catch me, I’m neon! – get two big boxes or containers and tape some string around them so that there’s enough slack for the people that are taped with a string to hold onto it. Then set up some neon objects around the perimeter of the space and turn off all other light sources in there except for one flashlight per box or container, which should be turned on with their own batteries so they don’t run out. Have each person that is taped get into one of them with their partner before turning out the lights and then try to find your way back to where you started by following only two small beams of light!
- Dance-off – this game has a lot more potential than just playing music videos on tv as people dance like crazy until someone falls down first! Make sure everyone knows what type of dancing is required before you start, such as breakdancing, disco moves, ballet twist, etc. Then make some music play and watch as the dance floor is flooded with people trying to outdo one another!
- Neon Dance Party – this game can be played solo, in teams, or even just for fun. Get some neon lights and have everyone get ready to do a dance routine. You could either show them a video of what they need to do beforehand so it’s not too spontaneous or tells each person their moves ahead of time if you want it more personal. When the music starts playing, start dancing your heart out until someone falls over first!
