Q&A for How to Throw a Glow Party

It really depends on the type of 'scene' you are trying to portray. If you're having a pool party, you can play some summer remixes from YouTube. If you're indoors, you could play some dubsteb, electro music, dj mixes or pop song remixes. Just regular songs from the radio are quite boring, so find some up-beat remixes or dubstep. Everyone would love it!

Try inviting a few friends over and see how much space they take up. This will give you an idea of how many people you can fit, and whether or not you can invite more.

It's not actually black, per se. It's light from the blue end of the spectrum that makes certain colors appear neon. Many of the bulbs that create blue light are so dark they seem black, hence the name "black light". They were very popular in the 70s and have experienced a bit of a revival in recent times with glow-in-the-dark paints and objects.

Make a list of both the pros and cons of such a party, and show it to them. Tell them about how your responsibility will come in as a factor to be able to have the party. Also, remember to show them how responsible and mature you are for your age. Offering to help pay for the party and clean up afterwards may also help greatly.

Try and put some music on, but make sure it has a good beat and rhythm, one that people can dance to. You can also ask people for music suggestions. People are more likely to dance to music that they enjoy, rather than music that they don't enjoy.

It does not matter if you don't have neon to wear. White glows under UV light to. And if it's a neon party, they might have some neon props so all of the guests can use these.

Rent a space, like a karaoke room. Usually local centers have rooms to rent. Or, ask a friend or other family member if they would mind you using a space at their place.

Well, you have two options. Explain to your parents what you have in mind -- they may not object to things being moved if keeping furniture and decorations damage-free is the goal. Or, the less desirable option is to secretly move most of the important or fragile things, just in case they break or get damaged during the party.

Any one-stop shop like Target or Walmart should have them at several price points.

If your space is really big, then enlist a friend or family member to stay on one side of the room while you go to the other side to make sure no problems happen. You also can try and make the party area a little smaller so that you can have a pretty good view of everywhere, and everyone. Having a raised area, and maybe DJ at the party, can help you see everyone. Make sure everyone is glowing and that will help if you are looking for someone, especially since it's dark.

No black light, no problem! You can simply have glow items such as glow sticks and glow bracelets for a nice glow effect. Also, there are plenty DIY glow light ideas on Pinterest so you can make your party glow even more! Also, you can string up some old Christmas lights or LEDs.

Try the B.O.T.T.L.E. flip challenge with a glow stick in the bottle. You flip it, and if it doesn't land, you get a letter. Or try Color (This is a pool activity, but can be changed). Players would have a glowstick/s on their ankles to make a color. A person would then call out colors and whosever color gets called out, try to make it to the other side as quietly as they can. If the person can hear them, they can turn around and chase them.

Creating an event on Facebook and doing invites from it is the best way to go. You can tell who's planning on coming, and guests have ready access to the date, time, and location. Any updates can be posted to the event to quickly disseminate the info.

Way to think positively! Do your best to ensure that guests are safe and given sufficient access to water. Should the unfortunately happen and a guest dies from something such as a heart attack, old age, exhaustion, dehydration or injury, call your country's emergency number, and explain what happened (do not make things up to try and get out of the situation) and let them come, investigate the death and remove the body. Contact the deceased's family as well and let them know what has happened. The medical profession will explain more to them but the family will probably ask you what the deceased's last movements were, so be open about it.

First (and this should be common sense,) make sure you have permission to use the pool as a venue for a glow party. Second, make sure the pool is well-lit so nobody falls in unintentionally and gets hurt. Dropping glow sticks in the pool may help with that. Third, make sure your guests know there will be a pool at your party so they can plan accordingly. Fourth, either center the party around the pool or push it off to the back or side. Have fun, and be safe!

I've thrown a blacklight party before and I believe that wearing neon or just white is 100 times better.

Network. Ask your friends and family if they know anyone with space for a big dance party. You can also throw a party in a barn, an abandoned house, in the middle of the woods, wherever! Just be safe and try to not trespass, so as to avoid police encounters.

Sure. If it's outside, pick a time late at night or early in the morning so it's dark outside. Make sure the location is not near bright city lights if possible, unless it's still dark. If it's inside, turn off lights!

Absolutely, as long as it's something your guest will be interested in, then go for it. It being a sleepover at night will also be perfect for lighting.
