#blacklighteffect Black Light Pool Party

Black Light Pool Party: A Sweet16 Event!

 A fun alternative to the traditional Sweet 16 is a Black Light Pool party.  A couple of hints: 

1. Begin as close to sunset as possible. 
2. Hire an Entertainer such as 1st Dance Entertainment to engage the crowd and earn their trust!
3.  Make sure you have plenty of Black Lights. 
4.  Glow Sticks/ Glow Necklaces go great with Black Lights.
