Twilight Source

Twilight lights up our hearts and minds. Nature's twilight surely does, but we are talking about Stephanie Meyer's novel Twilight and its movie adaptation. Twilight tells the story of a high school girl Bella who comes to live with her father in the rainy Forks after her parents' divorce. Life is full of surprises for Bella as she falls in love with her schoolmate Edward who actually is a vampire. These brilliant characters took away the whole world by storm and have become the latest party favorites of Americans. Following Harry Potter, birthday and Halloween parties, high school and college parties are now being based on Twilight themes.

Start your party preparations by giving out Twilight based personalized invites to your friends. Give away lovely place card holders and announcing the date cards. Inform them to dress up like their favorite Twilight character and get them geared up for the vampire effect.

Fill your house with posters, pictures and action figures of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Have them smiling at you from all directions. Spread strong scents everywhere as vampires love fresh fragrance. Make the room as eerie as possible and try to schedule the party for after dusk. Play the Twilight movie soundtrack or the movie DVD, but make sure it forms only a part of the attraction.

Keeping your guests occupied during the party is an art every host will want to master. There are scores of Twilight based games which your guests will love. Twilight jeopardy is a perfect choice. Read out dialogues from the book and have friends guessing the character. Vampires are cold, so maybe you can float red apples in ice cold water and make people collect as many apples as possible. Doesn't this send a chill through your spine?

Twilight party favors include dinner sets being decorated with pictures of Twilight. Dinner plates, dessert plates, cups, napkins all have your favorite stars staring at you. That is a collector's item and you own a cutlery you can boast of. Twilight party wares are available too. Give your personal Twilight touch by making the house as reddish as possible.

Food is the heartbeat of any party. Spread an exotic red dinner for your friends to enjoy. Red wine, apple juice, red velvet cakes are all some easily available items. Italian cuisine can be served to show loyalty to the book. The Cullens cook Italian for Bella and also she orders the mushroom ravioli when she is on her first dinner date with Edward. Remember that is the night Bella discovers about Edward, the vampire.

Party giveaways are very essential in the way that friends consider them close to their heart. Twilight party favors are aplenty. You can give Twilight key chains, small spiral note books, candle holders, bottle openers and even Twilight theme lip balms.

Have dress code for your party and you can tell your guests to dress up like their favorite characters. Plastic fangs are also a good choice and get that perfect vampire look. Deep red nail polish reminds you of Alice Cullen, who is the party organizer of the Cullen house. Throw a Twilight theme party, call over all those Twilight maniacs you know and have a blast.
