Are you planning a party based on the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer? With the books selling over 40 million copies in over 37 countries, Twilight party ideas are going to be very hot this year. Why not start planning your Twilight Party right now.
Twilight Party Invitations
Can you write using Calligraphy? If so, you can copy the lovely font, Carmilla, and write out your invitations in script that looks like Edward's handwriting. Use antique looking paper and take your party guests back to 1918...Edward's era. Use Twilight Clip Art you can find online to decorate your invitations. Add all the important party info , such as:
WhoWhatWhereWhenRSVP
Get those mailed right out, and now it's on to other party planning chores.
Twilight Party Decorations
Life size stand ups of Bella and Edward can be purchased online if you'd like to have these two love birds at your party. Imagine the look on everyone's face as they walk into your party and see Edward and Bella! What a great start to your party decorating! These life size cut outs also come with James, Laurent and Victoria...the nomadic vampires, who cause all the trouble in Twilight.Can't afford the cut outs? Or don't want to spend that much money on party decorations? Find pictures of Bella, Edward, Alice, Jasper and the rest of the Twilight Cast in magazines. Cut out the pages and put the pics into photo frames. Scatter them around your party room as though they are the people who live there.
Since the Cullen Family are vegetarians...which means, in vampire talk, that they only drink the blood of animals, your party's decor doesn't have to be the same old bloody, scary Count Dracula Vampire Halloween style decor that we are used to. The Cullen's are a refined family with style, grace and taste.
Many of the party supplies you can use for a Twilight party might be things you already have. How nice will it be able to use decorating items you have and not have to buy more!
Alice Would Use Twinkle Lights
If you remember anything about the parties Alice decorated for, it was all roses and thousands of twinkling lights. So, there's your first party decorating tip... twinkle lights . You can get them in white, or you can be daring and bold with red and black ones. Red and black is a pretty daring decorating statement. Very dramatic. You can use the ideas on the Twilight Saga book covers...Twilight-An apple (red and black), New Moon-A red and white Parrot Tulip (red, white and black), Eclipse-A red satin ribbon against a black background (red and black), and Breaking Dawn- a white Chess piece, the Queen symbolizing Bella, against the black background (white and black). All of these color schemes will work to create a very intense background for your Twilight Saga Party.
Use a Black Table Cloth with white or red dishes. Use white linen napkins and wrap each place setting of silverware in them. Tie them with a red satin ribbon. Place a glass vase on the center of the table and fill it with red and white Parrot tulips... or the roses Alice likes so much.
The Twilight Saga As Decorations
Scatter several copies of the Twilight books around the room. You can use the book covers themselves as decorations. You can set a dish of apples on a table, and have some white chess pieces on the tables around the room. Lay some red satin ribbons on those tables too. You can fill glass cylinders with some shiny Christmas balls. Fill one with black balls, and the other with red.
Twinkle lights will let you keep your regular lights on low and create an intimate feeling. Play the Twilight Sound track and clear an area so those who want to dance can. Keep the music low, so conversations can be heard!
Trivia Games Made From The Twilight Saga
If you are like me, you know all the books of the Saga backwards and forwards. Then you don't have to look for Twilight party games...you can make your own. Just think of all the most interesting facts about the books and characters that you can. Write it down, followed by the answer. An example is: Who turned Jasper? The answer is: Maria. Or where was Alice waiting for Jasper? The diner in Philadelphia. I am amazed by Alice this week, that's why these trivia questions are about her and Jazz. I am always dazzled by Edward. Where did Edward take Bella on their honeymoon? The answer is : Isle Esme. See how easy it is to make your own trivia game!

Twilight Party Food Thoughts
Now what to serve as a party menu for a Twilight Party? I am not a cooking kind of girl, so I always try to go for the easiest party foods out there. I like Pizza and Subs...or a lunch meat tray and rolls. But if you're looking for some sophisticated vampire party menu...I'll give you one. How about:
A red soup...tomato, mushroom ravioli served with some grilled chicken breasts in red sauce. Not bad for a chick who doesn't cook much! Tasty Cullen Punch and Vampire Cupcakes A drink idea is a red punch, call it
Cullen Punch and serve it in a crystal punch bowl of course. Desserts are easier for me...Vampire cupcakes. Red velvet cupcakes with white icing...with two tiny red puncture marks on each one. These are very nice looking...not gory at all. The Cullen Coven would like them!As you can see, these suggestions can help you plan a sophisticated party and a dramatic decorating scheme when you use Twilight Saga Party Ideas.
