Twilight 16th birthday party ideas are the way to go this year if your teen is a fan of the Twilight Movie or Books. With the release of the movie last November and all the buzz about the casting and filming of New Moon, the second book of the Saga, it’s going to be a very popular party theme this year.

16th Birthday Decorating Ideas

The Saga book covers give us the color scheme for this party. The perfect colors for a book cover party are black and red, and these colors can create quite a dramatic look. Tables draped with black table cloths, red dinnerware and white napkins rolled into scrolls tied with red satin ribbons will look great! Sprinkle the tables with bits of sparkling silver confetti and you are well on your way to a beautiful setting.

It’s easy to make some big red and black tissue flowers and decorate the room with them. Attach them to the walls or hang them from the ceiling. Make some party table centerpieces using a plastic silver vase and some red, white and black silk flowers, or you can order the white and red parrot tulips from your local florist…Alice Cullen used flowers everywhere when she decorated for a party! Put twinkle lights all over and you’ve got a great start to your 16th birthday party decorations.

More Twilight Party Ideas for a 16th Birthday Party

You might want to go with some pretty and pink decorations for your daughter’s 16th birthday party. That fits right in with this party theme! If you have read the Saga you know Alice is the family party planner, and you know that Alice loves, and I do mean loves, twinkle lights. Second to twinkle lights, Alice likes to decorate with flowers. What is more a more perfect for a sweet 16th birthday party than flowers and twinkle lights. Use roses, freesia, and white orange blossoms like Alice did for Bella and Edward’s wedding. Check with your local florist to find out more about what flowers will be in season at the time of your party. If you plan in advance, the chances that your florist will be able to help you are much greater than showing up at the very last minute!

The Perfect Party Favors

Party favors can be as simple as an apple candle or a Candy Apple that you can make yourself. Candy Apples are easy and fun to make and they fit in perfectly with the book covers. You can use dark chocolate and for extra effect make some red chocolate to drizzle all over the top! You can add candies and cookies and all kinds of goodies to make them extra special. Wrap them in clear plastic and use a red satin ribbon to tie it shut. Hang up some posters of the movie cast to complete the decorating. If you’d like more decorations, use the Queen and Pawns from a chess board, apples set out in black bowls, or put the books out on tables and shelves with their covers face up so they show.

Unique Cake Ideas

How do You make a Twilight Cake? Bake your cake as you usually would, frost it and put the Queen and Pawn of a plastic chess set on top for an easy idea. You can order a personalized edible cake topper with a picture of Bella and Edward on it. You can find places that will personalize a cake topper you can actually eat, just like the ones the bakeries use. You let them know what you want, download the picture you want on the edible cake topper and they send it to you via the mail. You can send any picture you like…but do it early. You want to give yourself plenty of time so you are sure to get what you want. Now that’s one of the more unique Twilight 16th birthday party ideas that I’ve heard so far. Glad I thought of it!

I’m sure you’ve gotten some great 16th birthday party ideas and they all come right from the Twilight Saga. Your Twilight fan will love them! Birthday gift ideas for this sweet 16 theme are easy! Buy the birthday girl the Saga Boxed Set, some Cullen Crest family jewelry, the movie soundtrack or the DVD!

Best Party Games

Since the release of the Twilight Saga many Twilighters have had some great Twilight Party Ideas. With the release of the movie this past November, and when the DVD is released, Twilight parties are going to be hot this year!

Twilight party decorating ideas can be taken from the Twilight Novel, or any of the other books in the Saga. If you are planning a vampire party this year, the perfect theme will be based on the 4 book Saga by Stephanie Meyer? This love story has sold over 40 million copies in over 37 countries.

You can start to think about your Twilight party ideas right now. You can have a movie viewing when the DVD comes out or you can have a different kind of Vampire Halloween Party. Life size stand ups of Bella and Edward will WOW everyone when they walk into your party. Imagine the surprise on their faces when they are greeted by Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. What a perfect beginning to your decorating. You can also find cut outs of James, Laurent and Victoria…those naughty, blood sucking, nomadic Vampires we met at the baseball game.

What do you mean Vegetarian Vampires?

Yes, the Cullen’s are vegetarians…but what that means in vampire lingo is they drink the blood of animals, not humans. Your Halloween or Twilight party can be planned with a twist…Vampires without fangs. So that means no bloody Count Dracula Vampire party this year. You can go sleek and stylish rather than bloody and scary, like the Vampire parties we are all familiar with. The Cullen’s are a rather sophisticated family and Alice, the family party planner, decorates with lots of style and taste. Of course, you could host a Halloween party where the old meets the new…and have fanged, blood drinking vamps along side the vegetarian Cullen Clan…just like in Breaking Dawn.

A great Vampire costume party prop is FX lenses. You know, those colored contact lenses that change your eye color. The Cullen’s eyes, and the rest of the Vampires in the series, change. When they are hungry, or thirsting for blood, their eyes are black. When they have hunted and their thirst is somewhat satisfied, their eyes are golden or topaz. A newborn Vampire or a human blood drinker (like the Volturi) will have red eyes. This gives you several options as to what color lenses you will get. These special effect lenses look great…some of them are almost hypnotic! Homemade Costumes will be easy to put together if you decide to “become” Edward or Bella. They wear what kids everywhere wear. Edward will require a little makeup work. His skin is very pale and his eyes are black or light brown. His skin also sparkles in the sun…so you might want to use that look.

A Twilight Party Need Twinkle Lights

Don’t I have Twinkle Lights? You might have some of the party supplies you need for your Twilight party ideas…Make sure you check your holiday decorations for lights and bulbs you can use. It’s nice to be able to save some money on decorations! If you recall, when Alice decorated for a party, she used roses and lots of twinkling lights. So, first on your party decorating list is…Twinkle Lights. I love the white ones, but you can also be bold and use red or black if you can find them. Using red and black is a very dramatic decorating scheme.

Red and Black Decorations For Your Twilight Party

You can get decorating ideas for your Edward and Bella Party right off the Twilight book covers…Twilight- This book has hands holding an apple against a black background. The second novel in the Saga, New Moon, has a Parrot Tulip in red and white. The third novel in the Saga, Eclipse, has a piece of red satin ribbon against a black background. The final Novel in the Saga, Breaking Dawn, has a white Chess Queen and a red Pawn against a black background. So it looks like the color scheme should be red, black and white. What an intense backdrop this color scheme will create for your party.

Take all the decorating ideas you can from Stephanie Meyers’ Saga. Think about a black table cloth with some white or red dishes. Make up silverware setting like you see in some restaurants. Wrap each place setting in a white napkin and secure it by tying a red satin ribbon around it. Try filling some glass cylinders with roses or see if you can order some red and white Parrot tulips from your local florist. Fill wine glasses (or some other small glass) with spray roses. These small roses are very delicate looking and open very nicely. I’m sure Alice Cullen would approve.

Use the Twilight Books as Decorations

The book covers are ideal to use as Twilight party decorations. Lay copies of them around the party room. After all, this party is based on what’s in them, and they do have those great covers. Use red satin ribbons, apples and even chess pieces to set the mood of the party. Do you have any red and black Christmas balls? Put them into a glass cylinder. They will look really great with the Twinkle Lights.

Imagine what an interesting and intimate feeling your party will have. Twinkle lights, red and black and of course, the Twilight Soundtrack music playing in the background. If you can, clear part of the room to make a dance floor and keep the music low so people can hear each other!

Party Food Time!

Get Pizza or serve sandwiches. I like to plan easy party menus. Of course, if you like to cook or cater…go for it. There are several food ideas you can take right from Twilight ….Bella made some quesadillas for Charlie, there’s the Fish Fry Billie Black brought and there are always Bella’s mushroom ravioli. Red Drinks are easy enough to find…fruit punch, or use a mix of red juice and seltzer to make a red punch.

Keep your party desserts simple. My favorite dessert idea is Vampire Cupcakes. Sweet Cake with white icing and two red puncture marks on top. They are easy to make and taste great. They look really nice. Any red, black or white combination will work well. These novels give us so many great party ideas and decorating ideas…your Twilight party is sure to be a hit.

Have You Read the Twilight Saga Yet?

No?? I love the story. It tells us about Edward Cullen, a hundred year old vampire, and Bella Swan, a 17 year old high school student, who meet and feel an instant attraction to each other.
For Bella, this is a dangerous situation though she doesn’t realize that at first. Edward is more attracted to Bella’s human scent than he has ever been. He wants to drink her blood and it’s a stronger attraction than he has ever had to fight before. They still find a way to be together…though, while Bella is human, this will never be easy. There are four books in the Saga and I read them in less than two weeks. I didn’t think I would be so dazzled by these books…but I was!

Once you read the story and fall in love with the characters, like so many others have, you won’t be able to wait to have your Twilight party!
