How To Throw a Rave-Tastic Kids Neon Party
Picture the scene: the bass is thumping. The dancefloor is moving and shaking. Everybody’s faces are glowing with UV paint and beaming smiles.
The light show goes down, and as the playlist transitions into your child’s favourite song, their cake is brought out with fizzing candles lighting up the darkness. The crowd goes wild!
This is the reality of a kids neon party: a nightclub aesthetic with fun and games that perfectly appeal to an early teenage audience. It’s becoming an increasingly popular choice of party as kids enter their teenage years, but throwing a funky neon party – or glow party, as it’s also known – requires a lot of preparation.
Fear not: we’re here to help! As the go-to experts for all things fun, we’ve been throwing kids parties across the UK for years. And when it comes to kids neon parties, our team of party specialists know a thing or two about creating the perfect vibe.
What does a kids neon party involve?
While the general theme of a kids neon party is going to be similar across all kinds of events, the actual details of what takes place at your neon party are entirely customisable.
For our UV Glow Party bookings, the schedule typically involves lots of dancing (to hand-picked songs from the birthday boy or girl), an exciting light show, and a talented DJ to keep the momentum of your neon party going.
What venues are best for a neon party?
One of the first considerations for a kids neon party is the venue. In order to get the best impact out of the light show, neon clothing, and glowsticks, you want somewhere that can be plunged into darkness without natural light shining through windows or doors.
However, there are lots of quick and easy ways to block out light, such as material taped over windows or neon-coloured doorway streamers at your entrances.
You’ll also ideally want somewhere fairly sizable if possible, in order to reap the benefits of the neon party’s light show and smoke or bubble machines. This could include:
- Community centres
- School gymnasiums
- Local music venues or performance spaces
Entertainment ideas for your kids neon party
Once you’ve chosen the perfect place to host your kids neon party, it’s time to think about how to make it a memorable event that your guests won’t forget!
This is where you get to be as creative as you’d like, and really elevate the party experience for your child and their friends.
Neon party clothes to set the vibe
It might sound simple, but choosing the right clothes for a neon party can really add to the effect that our lights and glowsticks have on the experience.
To make sure everybody brings the right vibe, it can be a great idea to specify you’d like guests to wear white or neon clothing on the invites for your party. These colours glow in the dark under the right kinds of light, and will look amazing on any pictures you take throughout the event!
If you want to make it an extra special party, we also offer a range of glow packs to make sure that everyone looks the part. These include glow bracelets, glow glasses, and neon face paint – all to make sure your neon party goes down in the history books!
Glowing decorations for the wow-factor
There’s nothing quite like walking into a room filled with UV lights and seeing your clothes, facepaint, and even teeth light up in the darkness.
Add to this wow-factor by decorating your neon party venue with themed decorations that will also glow in the dark and create the perfect nightclub vibe.
These can be as adventurous as you’d like – from glowing wall stickers and hanging party decorations, to glow-in-the-dark silly string and LED-filled balloons.
Pumping tunes to keep your guests dancing
Your kids neon party would be at a loss without amazing tunes to soundtrack the entire event, and our talented DJs bring just that with tens of thousands of songs available to choose from.
They’re experienced in reading the room and playing tracks to get everybody moving, as well as calling out to groups or even individuals to make the party extra special.
Your birthday child will also be able to provide a requested tracklist ahead of time, and their friends can request songs and dedications on the day of your party to make sure everyone can get involved.
But don’t worry: our skilled DJs will be able to assess the suitability of any song requested, and will also avoid anything with offensive lyrics to keep the party clean!
