A mirrored heart hangs like a disco ball over a sea of neon pink and purple, and the words After Dark glow beneath it. The name is written in magenta metallic capitals that belong to the same nightclub. This is the invitation for an eighteenth that starts late and ends later.
Black lights, neon tape on the walls, glow sticks at the door, a fog machine if you can borrow one, a DJ or a friend with a very good playlist, and mocktails that glow under UV. A neon sign with the birthday girl’s name makes the photo wall. Tell guests to wear white or neon so they light up.
Type in the name, date and place, and it is good to go. A sweet sixteen, a twenty-first or any glow-in-the-dark birthday works with the same card.
