To hang your kraft paper, use black duct tape or create a more interesting vista with neon-colored gaffer tape, typically used for stage productions.

Pastel or white walls and seepage from extra light sources can make your room seem brighter, lessening the effect of your black lights.

The key to black light illumination is the absence of other light sources, so add some black kraft or butcher paper to cover up any windows or light-colored walls. You can use fluorescent tubes or, CFL black light bulbs to create neon-coated fun for your partygoers. While there are incandescent and LED black light bulbs, the most effective black lights are fluorescents. Those phosphors then begin to glow in a phenomenon called luminescence.

Let’s have a black light party, sure to fascinate adults and kids alike if you employ these brilliant tips. But wait, what about your party’s theme? We need to go beyond the superheroes and princesses, luaus and poker nights, and even that good ol’ standby, the All-American cookout to a theme guaranteed to be a “glowing” success. The food has been cooked or delivered-with reserves in the kitchen.
