The day has finally come and (almost) gone. The flowers were perfect, the food was delicious, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. And now that midnight is creeping closer, it’s time to turn things up a notch! Whether it’s a vibe shift near the end of your reception or a separate after party, setting the tone is key. Your guests don’t just want to have fun; they want to let loose!

Dance floor props, costumes, and other late night essentials get everyone participating and make for awesome photos! Here are some of our faves…

You Glow, Girl

When the lights go down, bring out the glow sticks…and glasses…and jelly rings…and tambourines…and anything else that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a late night futuristic fête.

Disco Never Dies

A disco ball never goes out of style! Stir sticks, headbands and drink cups keep things groovy!

Dressed to the nines

Indulge your inner child and play dress-up with fun accessories like feather boas, sunglasses, or cowboy hats. These make for some of the best late night photos!

Cheers!

Avoid the nightmare of smashed glass on the dance floor and enjoy your late night cocktails in custom frost flex cups! And these sticky LED coasters are a must!

A sparkly sendoff

To get one last perfect photo, give your guests streamers or sparklers for the final sendoff. You’ll leave the party in style and get everyone excited to stay until the very last moment!

Exceeded all of my

very high

expectations

The entire Pop Parties team is the most organized, communicative, and on-it team I have encountered Their response time is unbelievable and made my entire wedding day stress-free. Not one detail was missed, and the wedding was the most beautiful and fun evening. They maintained professionalism, while also feeling like a close friend through the entire process. I could not recommend them enough.

WE BOTH ARE

perfectionists
