Laser Tag Birthday party: Throw the best ever laser tag themed event!

The best thing about laser tag, it's great for all ages! From young kids 6/7 years old to adults. Ideally, start planning 2-4 weeks before your party date.

Choose Your Party Location... Laser Tag Facility, at Home Laser Tag or Mobile Laser Tag?

Laser Tag places like Laser Quest or your local Laser Tag place will usually offer a party package that includes 2 games of laser tag play, private party room, arcade tokens, and optional pizza. Call your laser tag facility to check on available dates. During peak seasons their schedules may fill up quick.

At home with your own or rented laser tag equipment

Rather add your own personal touch to the party? Then consider hosting the laser tag party at your house,  a neighborhood park or community center. Check out Walmart, ToysRus, Ebay, Craigslist for Laser Tag Guns, you will be surprised what you can find. For the cost of renting a Laser Tag facility ($10+ per kid), you may be able to own your own equipment and still have it for future parties or just for fun! You can simply let the kids fun free play, or create mission-based games like capture-the-flag. To create obstacle courses use large cardboard boxes, hay bales, large rolls of paper… be creative and use what you have in your shed or garage. The great thing about hosting your own event is toy have the freedom to create the party schedule on your own time and no crowds to deal with!

Location of your choice with Mobile Laser Tag

Host the event at your time and location of choice. Simple google "mobile laser tag" and find your local mobile laser tag company. Rather than going to a dark, dingy laser tag facility, you can have Laser Tag come to your home, office or event and put on a truly one-of-a-kind experience. These places will usually set up the field and have all the laser tag equipment needed. This can be more of a sit-back and relax option than doing the party yourself.

Laser Tag Invites and Party Favors

imaginTEE has several Laser Tag glow-in-the-dark t-shirts to choose from, great for party favors. Forget about the goody bags filled with cheap toys or candy, these Laser Tag glow-in-the-dark T-shirts will WOW your guests! imaginTEE also offers custom matching laser tag invitations.

Laser Tag Party Decorations

Neon colored table clothes, neon paper cups and plates are a simple and inexpensive option for hosting at a laser tag facility, as they are usually in black light. The neon colors will "glow" in the black light. Or if going for the army/military look, use solid paper goods in different shades of green and black.

Food and Drink

All you need to do is checkout Pinterest and you will quickly be inspired to create your own Lazer Tag Birthday Cakes, or order one from your local bakery. Use bright colored icing and candles for a neon look, or military greens for an Army theme.

Make sure to have lots of water available, as all the running is going to make your party guests very thirsty.

Keep it simple with the food. If hosting your laser tag party at a facility, then see what they offer, usually pizza or hot dogs. If hosting the laser tag at your home, then you have a little more flexibility, but pizza usually is a favorite. If the party is going to be at a park or outside, you can grill burgers and hot dogs.

Have an idea to add? We'd love to hear from you!

Camping Birthday Theme Party



It is camping season, and what a great idea to combine the camping theme with your next birthday party.

Some ideas:
  • make dinner over the campfire - hot dogs are easy for the kids to do themselves!
  • give each kid a flash light
  • give each kid a glow-in-the-dark camping t-shirt
  • outdoor scavenger hunt
  • roast s'mores
  • pitch a tent in the backyard and camp out
  • tell camp stories around the campfire
  • sing campfire songs
Have more ideas? Let's hear them....

Laser Tag Birthday Party Favors

We received this email last week from a customer, please read on...


"I hosted my son's birthday party at LaserQuest last week, having it at a place like that doesn't give the opportunity to really decorate like I would have at home. So instead of spending the money on decorations and cheap goody bags, we bought glow-in-the-dark Laser Tag T-shirts online. Ordered each boy a T-shirt and handed them out at the start of the party. What a huge hit! It was so great for me, as the parent, trying to keep track of the boys that were in our party, because they all glowed in the dark :) I could count all 14 of them very quickly. And the boys loved the TAG graphic, and wow, they really did glow. I was a little concerned about them glowing as they played laser tag, but the vests covered up the glow part.

Now I know a lot of you out there have probably made your own glow t-shirts with craft paint - but for me this was way better. First I didn't have to mess with it, second the quality of the T-shirts I ordered blows away anything I could have done.

This was really a great find, and will do it again for my daughters party in the summer.

THANK YOU!!!!"
