Black Light Party
 |
A black light party has a similar feel to a glow party, but gives off a different energy. Black lights are neat because they make things glow by emitting a type of ultraviolet radiation that is then converted into the light we see through phosphors. These parties are fun to decorate for and the atmosphere takes care of itself, being happy, free willing, and relaxing, setting you up for a perfect party. |
