The Twilight book series by Stephanie Meyer have been a huge success with tween and teen girls. What better way to celebrate the birthday than a New Moon or Twilight themed party? Here are some ideas to make it happen.

First, you will need cool party invitations . You can print off color copies of the book covers, characters or posters from the movie to use on the front of your handmade invitations. Using your computer fonts, you can either write the invitation in calligraphy style handwriting like Edward would use:

The Cullen family cordially invites you to attend a party in the honour of

(Try a font called Edwardian script)

Alternatively, you can use a handwritten scrawl like Bella would write to inform your guests as to place and time. An example would be:

OK – I really hate parties, but Alice is making me invite everyone

One additional possibility would be to write it like Jacob – crossing out lines and re-writing them until you get the invitation right.

For instance – you could write:

The bloodsucker invites you to

The leech is having a party for…

Bring a jacket – it will be cold

You will need to decide if it is a general Twilight/New Moon party theme – or if guests choose/are put on teams. You can have team Edward vs. Team Jacob.

Next, you will need party food . You can offer guests ‘blood’ to drink, but putting tomato juice in a non-transparent cup with a straw. You could also make a red fruit punch – add extra ice before guests come so it is extra cold or slushy. Hot dogs would be good – roasting them like on the beach in La Push – would be even better. Make cookies that look like dog biscuits.

Decorations. You can make them ahead of time, or have everyone participate. You can let everyone design posters, and have prizes for the best ones. If you want to make the decorations yourself, let everyone make their own t-shirt, which can be their ‘loot-bag’ take home gift.

Posters and t-shirts could read:

• Team Jacob
• Team Edward
• Team Cullen Fastball
• La Push Diving Team
• Forks, WA
• Meanwhile, in a little known town called Spoons…
• Cullen Drive
• My neck belongs to Edward
• Bite Me – Edward Cullen
• Jacob Can Be My Alpha
• I was pale before Twilight made it popular
• Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? (Jacob)
• I like my guys cool and sparkly
• La Push Motorcycle Club

Guests can also make up their own ideas. Have plenty of markers, paint or fabric paint, sparkles, gel pens, etc. It is a good idea to have scrap paper so kids can make a rough copy before they do their good one.

Activities . Kids can learn vampire hip hop dances, play truth or dare, or Twilight trivia. Having them dress up or act out their favourite scenes from the movies or books. You can video tape the enactments and play them back at the end of the night, or send them home with a copy on DVD.

Best Party Games and Ideas

Many fans were looking forward to the Premiere of New Moon. The movie is the second film adaptation of the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer. In New Moon, Bella and her vampire boyfriend Edward face a new snag or two in their relationship. Edward is convinced by near fatal incident at his home that the vampire world and their relationship are too dangerous for Bella.

So he pretends that he doesn’t love her and leaves Forks. Bella is devastated and looks to her friend Jacob Black for comfort. Ironically it seems that Jacob is a supernatural being himself and the danger that Edward wants to protect her from will come from an unexpected source. As a fan many will celebrate by having a Twilight themed party. Here are some interesting games you and your guests can play as entertainment.

Any good Twilight fan worth their salt is good at Twilight trivia. A good party game is to have a trivia game like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Have prizes for winners who prove to be adept at knowing about all things Twilight. You can also use other game show formats that may be more fitting for your guests.

In the series vampires are known to movie at superhuman speeds. Unfortunately many people can’t do that. You can imitate it though with a game of flashlight tag. You can make the game interesting by having guests split up in groups. You can also try a flashlight tag version of capture the flag. This will give you some very fun ways to imitate vampires.

Another game you can play is Truth or Dare. In New Moon we find out that Jacob is part of tribe of werewolves. One of their interesting traits is that everyone can share each other’s minds constantly so everyone knows each other’s deepest secrets. So play a game of truth of dare with questions based off of similar situations in New Moon and Twilight. This will prove to be an interesting game as you see how much of their secrets they are willing to share.

Vampires also have a keen sense of hearing and an awareness of their surroundings. Another great game idea is to play Twilight red light green light. Pick someone as the individual who will call out red light and green light. Just like a traffic signal, the caller say green light everyone else playing can move towards him. If the caller calls red light then the players have to freeze in position and stay that way. Otherwise, they will be disqualified. The twist lies in that the caller is blindfolded and must rely on hearing and other senses to be know when players are approaching. The first person to reach the caller will be the winner.

You can also look to more traditional games like Bingo. Have Bingo cards made with images of characters in the movie. Then have an old fashioned game of bingo. The first person to get all five characters in a row and call out Bingo will be the winner. This is just one of many simple Twilight games that you can play at your party.

You will find many of the suggested games to be great ways to entertain friends and make your party a more likely success.
