Host a Twilight Theme Party at Home
This past Friday I invited my local Twilight-loving friends over to watch the new DVD that just came out… and I’ve gotta say it was a fun excuse for a party! Although my husband wasn’t really surprised that I was decorating for this get-together, he still asked, “Why all the fuss to watch a DVD?“.
The answer is simple of course: for fun! The way I see it is this: I can sit on my couch in my regular living room and watch a movie any ol’ Friday night, so when the movie lends itself to a fantasy-type theme that’s the perfect excuse for breaking out the twinkle lights and red martini’s, why the heck not? Life is too short not to mix things up when you can… and there’s no reason why we should save all the fun for just birthdays and holidays!
The main elements of this particular Twilight party were:
- mood lighting created with white twinkle lights & candles
- red (blood-themed) cocktails, favors, & drinks
- apples & Italian food
- framed quotes from the book & movie (pictured at top & below), which I dressed up a bit in photoshop, then printed out & framed. (The framed quote above is a line from the movie that Edward says when he catches an apple in a manner that mimics the book cover.)
Want to use these movie quote designs for your party? Download all of them right here: 8×10 quotes (3.1 M pdf) / 5×7 quotes (6.3 M pdf). *If you have trouble opening the files once downloaded, please see the “Download Tips” note at the bottom of this post.
I designed these downloadable blood-themed drink labels a couple weeks ago and mocked them up digitally in an earlier post, but they look way better in person when wrapped around bottles of red sodas, juices, and cocktail mixers!(Remove the original labels from the bottles first. Soaking them in hot water for 10-15 minutes first will make this task easier.)
Download these drink labels here (high res pdf format).
Label designs include: i’m thirsty, drink up, type A negative, type B positive, and type O negative
More easy party decor ideas: Fill glass vases with apples, pillar candles, floating candles, and dark red acrylic sea glass. Decorate the vases with satin ribbon, black tulle, sparkly stickers, and movie quotes.
Rhinestone appliques would be appropriate decor for the vases too… anything sparkly is actually a great reference to the “diamond” effect that sunlight creates on the vampires.
Since the changing color of Edward’s eyes are a big part of the story, I thought that would be a good thing to call out with a quote as well. (For those of you that haven’t read the story, black eyes = thirsty/hungry.)
If you’re planning to serve dinner at the party, Italian is a great choice for a couple key reasons:
• Bella orders Mushroom Ravioli in the Port Angeles restaurant with Edward. (as seen in the picture in the background above, which is from the book Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion – only $9.68 at Amazon.com)
• In the movie, the Cullens attempt to make Italian food for Bella when she visits their home for the first time. I framed Esme’s line: “We’re making Italiano for you.” to display on the buffet table by the food.
On the drinks table, framed signs read: “thirsty?” and “drink up.” (Both signs are included in the ” 5×7 quotes” pdf.)
Also served, but not pictured here: red wine & red Pomegranate-Cran Martinis served in martini glasses rimmed with a “hard candy blood drip“.
Last but not least are the party favors…red candy in cellophane bags make for fun, super-easy “blood bag” party favors. These bags are filled with Red Vines (which Bella is also seen eating in the movie) and aptly named Twizzler “Bites“. Both the candy and the cellophane bags are from Target, but there’s also a huge variety of red candies available online.
Another fun favor idea: sparkly red lip gloss! These red-shimmer NYC Liquid Lip Shine glosses were only $1.72 each at Target! Display them with a little sign that reads “Vampire Kisses“.
*Check out more pictures of the party details over at the Twilight Screening Party facebook album.
MORE TWILIGHT PARTY IDEA’S:
In my dreamworld
- if I had the time/resources/excuse to do even more with this theme – here are some ideas that would top the list (in no particular order):
- Use a fog machine and hang umbrellas to give the effect of Forks – rainy and misty.
- Include a chocolate fountain in the dessert buffet – featuring white chocolate that’s been dyed red to look like blood, of course!
- Serve Red Velvet Cupcakes that look like they’ve been splattered with blood… just like these fabulous creations from Retro Bakery in Las Vegas:
- Create napkin rings from glow in the dark plastic fangs… and have more sets of fangs available for photo opps!
- Drizzle bowls of popcorn with butter that’s been colored red.
- Set up a creative, themed black & red candy buffet…mixed in with “bloody” candy accents and clever details from the movie.
- Have the Twilight Movie Soundtrack playing as background music before the movie.
- Play some sort of movie trivia or themed game – and give a golden onion as the prize. (This is the same thing that Bella & Edward “won” in Biology; to create: literally spray paint a store-bought onion gold!)
- Make “blood drip candles” by drizzling melted was from a red candle on top of a white taper candle, then displaying them in cool candelabras – like this fabulous & elegant Red Acrylic Candelabra from Social Couture.
- If this was the theme for a big-budget event, I’d love to recreate the look of the meadow by bringing in lots of foliage and covering some of the tabletops with dewy grass & purple flowers. How fun would THAT be?! And then, of course – there’s that fantastic twinkle light canopy from the prom scene at the end of the movie…sigh…like I said: dream!

Very very cool. I have to post a link to this from my Twilight blog. – Twilight fans are going to love this!! Thanks!!
I’ve been thinking about a Twilight screening party since you posted the drink labels last week! As always, you delivered! I looove the lip gloss. I’ll have to go to target today to snatch some of those up!
Thank you for all the free downloads! I can’t wait to take a look at all of them and throw my own party! I’ll have to use this again when New Moon comes out in theaters!
That looks great! Might have to steal some of those ideas! ;)
jenn, awesome! so creative and made me laugh several times. great job! (ps…your party looks better than the movie)
I am so, so sad that I was not in SD to go to this! Everything looks awesome! And it would be fun to host a party like this in November to get everyone ready for the New Moon release:)
aw, i wish i was a fan, this is something i would have so much goin nuts with!
oopse, meant so much FUN goin nuts with… :O)
Those are all great ideas! I need to have a Twilight party!
Ooooo this would be such a fun party to do for my daughter!
This is incredible! I had my party this past Friday so I’m kinda bummed I didn’t wait so I could totally copy yours. The drink labels were a hit, and I made red velvet cupcakes with white icing and had red tealights all over. A friend even brought a life-size cardboard cutout of Edward so we could all take pictures with him. It was so fun. Thanks for the idea, everyone loved it.
love these ideas! will definately use these! i cant get the 8×10 pdf’s to work. saya the file is damaged? has this happened to anyone else?
I love all your fun ideas! I’m having my Twilight party this week and these are fabulous tips. I’ll totally have to use some of these. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Wow, what a cool Twilight party! I wish I had that kind of decorating pizzazz! I love the ideas on this blog so much!
What a great teenage birthday party idea.. with all the teen craze over this series a sleepover / movie to end it.. Thanks Jenn!!!
star –
I just tried the link and it downloaded and opened for me. Is the problem with the download or opening it after? Here’s the link again – maybe try it one more time just in case… hope it works!

Jenn :)
Jenn, i tried it and it worked! thanks so much!
My friend and I just had a Twilight Party. It was one to remember. If you want to see some creative ideas just check out my blog. Maybe you all could use some for your party.
Elissa – WOW! You seriously went all out for that party! Such creativity – great job!! :)

Thanks Jenn. It was so much fun. I love seeing other peoples parties too. Makes me want to go to all these parties. How much fun would that be!!
I wish I’d seen this before my party! I made OME (Oh My Edward) Cupcakes. They were red velvet filled w/ pureed cherry pie filling topped with white chocolate cream cheese frosting sprinkled with edible shimmer dust. They were pale and sparkly on the outside, bloody on the inside just like Edward :)
Elissa – Agreed! How excited are you for theater pre-parties/after-parties in November?! ;)
Alicia – Your OME cupcake idea/description is way too clever! Love it!
OMG! Jen dont even get me started about November. I can hardly stand the wait!!
I loved the OME cupcake idea too. SO COOL!
This is fantastic. I tried to download the drink labels and it said the file was corrupted. Can you please repost? I can’t wait to throw my Twilight party. : )
OMG!!! All this stuff is AMAZING! GREAT JOB ON ALL OF IT!!!!!!
wow..that is so neat :) you probably mentioned this before but where do you get the drink labels? Are they just paper or is it a sticker?
Mara –
They’re actually printable labels that I designed – you can click here to download the templates:
https://www.hwtm.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/HWTM_twilight_drinklabels.pdf
I printed them on photo-quality paper then attached them to the bottles with double-sided tape.
If you need to print a LOT of them, I’d recommend doing it at somewhere like Kinkos or a local copy shop because there’s a lot of black ink coverage and it might end up being cheaper to do it there in the long run than having to buy a lot of ink jet cartridges.
Jenn :)
Virginia –
Here’s the link again: https://www.hwtm.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/HWTM_twilight_drinklabels.pdf
If that doesn’t work for you, let me know and I’d be happy to email them to you – the file is a little over 3 Megabytes.
Thank you Jenn! :) This is a great idea, even for non-twilight theme parties! I’m throwing my sister a birthday party & since she’s born on Halloween, I’m trying to gather ideas. If you have any suggestions that would be wonderful!
That’s really awesome. It gives me more ideas for my next TwiParty for New Moon.
If you want to check out what I did last November,
for the movie release, check out my album here.
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=183146&id=543720310&l=c46d49eca5
This is just the best party idea ever!!!
Lana –
Thanks so much for sharing the link to your Twilight party album – LOVE it all! Especially the blood shooters – I’m so doing that in November!! The labeling is hilarious.
Looks like you guys had a blast!
Jenn :)
No problem. I love being able to share all these ideas and! Seeing that i’m not alone in doing this. Your party just looks so classy, I’m definately using the labels and vampire kisses!
sooooooooooo kwwwwwwllll
Everything about this is GREAT!! Im going to have to link it to my Twilight blog
jenn, what type of paper of paper do you recommend we print the drink labels on? Thx in advance!
This is an awesome website!!! My party is so gonna be like the way those pictures are!!!
I am totally using all of this to throw my friend a birthday party. She LOVES Twilight so this will blow her mind :) YOU’RE BRILLIANT!
Star – For the paper, photo quality is best so that it holds the ink well, but make sure it’s not too thick. Text-weight paper (in a matte or gloss finish) is better than cardstock because it will be easier to wrap around the bottles.
I used 100# text, matte finish for this party. The standard “photo paper” that they use at places like Kinkos is actually perfect.
Jenn :)
Ranai –
I used “Zephyr” and “Be Safe” for all the labels and quotes.
Zephyr is the “twilight” looking font and “Be Safe” is the script-y font. You can get Be Safe here:
and just google “Zephyr” to find it lots of places…
Glad you liked everything! :)
What font did you use to create all of the materials? It’s AMAZING! Great job!!!
This will be helpful for me to start hosting my own parties. What program(s) did you use to create the twilight bottle labels? What programs are out there to create personal labels? Also what type of paper do you use to print these labels out. Thank you so much for your help.
Super creative. Even though I personally didn’t like this movie it gave me lots of ideas for movie-themeing a movie I do like for a party. Great, thanks for sharing.
WOW! You are so clever and creative…and how cool that you included the downloads for those of us who are not creative! My daughter is going to love this….thank you so much for sharing your great ideas! Long live Edward and Bella……lol….. :)
Hosting my party today in Australia after the dvd release this week and sooo happy to grab a couple more ideas from you!! Thankyou so much, I am going to keep all my things together in a special box for the release of new moon. Well done!
Wow, this all looks great!
Thanks for all the ideas!!
I’m trying to download the pdf documents with the quotes & both won’t open, saying the file is damaged. Any chance I might be able to get them?
Thanx Thanx!!
(writing from Tahiti!!!)
plz could you tell me what ingredients you need for the italiano dish that the cullens cook in there kitchen for bella the first time she comes round thankyou this will help me a lot p.s i need to know before 12th May thankyou please reply!
This is so great! I also wrote a Twilight party idea for my daughter: http://www.blisstree.com/2009/04/27/sex-relationships/the-making-of-a-twilight-birthday-party/
Thosa are really creative ideas, I love them and may have to try to host my own Twilight party
You rock! You are so bookmarked in my Twilight folder. I am having a “100 Days ’til New Moon” party in August. The lip gloss idea is fantastic! Thanks.
Now that the end of the school year is nearing, you’ll find lots of “apple” decorations for teachers in the graduation section of party stores.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! :)
This site is awesome…i cannot get the drinklabels.pdf to open–it says it is damaged or something like that. We are having a Twilight party with the work girls and this would be great!
Your blog is amazing! I LOVE this post. Thanks for sharing the print outs. You can go here to see what I did with some of them!

Olivia
LOOOve the lipgloss! I am using as a birthday theme and maybe to have a party when ALL 4 movies come out!!! Thanks for the AH-mazing ideals
OMG! Wow, that is amazing.. Ok. I need help on Twilight themed parties.. My mom & I decided-since it’s my 12th birthday party- that we should do a Twilight Themed Party because we want it to be special.. Now, my mom wants it to be perfect and she has tons of ideas in her mind. I would love to help her out but, she like totally read my mind in everything.. Hahaha! So, if you have any ideas of what should be there,how, and etc. then you can send me a message on my e-mail. Thanks !!
Awesome…can’t wait to try out a few of your ideas! Just wondering what font the quotes are written in? Thanx!
Hi Coggie –
The main font (the one that looks like the twilight movie title) is called “Zephyr” and the accent font is called “Be Safe”.
If you google them you should be able to find them for free! :)
Where can you get the Zephyr font to make things for free?
hi i am looking for a twilight theme for my bowling party hook me up with some good stuff k
THANKS !!
i’m having a twilight themed sweet16!!
these are awesome ideas thanks!
THANKS SO MUCH! i’m using some ideas for my ‘how to host a twilight party’. credit goes to you, and your awesome website.
Fabulous ideas! We’re having a Twilight Pool Party tomorrow so will be modifying quite a bit. One thing we are adding is red-colored (with food color) apple juice — I’m going to put dry ice in it. I used to do this years ago at Holloween parties. It carbonates the apple juice as well as cools it — and of course, the best part is the “fog” it makes.
This is amazing. My birthday is on July 4th! Yay!(:
OMG i have gotten so many ideas from this! THANKYOU! and omg my birthday party is on the 4 July: the birthday was on 26 June :)
ok so all of the ideas u put on here were fabulous and we want to thatnk u sooo much cuz 2morrow i am having the twilight game night party:) i used a liitle bit of my own style with my aunt but i will be posting pics up on my blog of the party soon i will comment again and give u the info soon:)
omg this is so cool I am going to host one very soon and I need a lot of ideas! thankyou
wow that looks amazing, i’m going to have to steal your ideas because my birthday is in August & it’s gonna be Twilight themed…
YOU’RE AMAZING!!
I absolutely love love LOVE your ideas! Absolutely brilliant and downright fabulous. I am hosting a late birthday party for myself, and am having a Twilight theme, so naturally — I downloaded all of your PDF’s and have gotten tons of picture frames for our place.
I am so stoked, and thanks to you — I will have an amazing birthday.
Thanks for all the sweet comments! So happy you guys are finding these ideas helpful for your parties! Have fun! :)
Hi Jenn, thanks once again for everthing i posted earlier with pics of my party, and it turned out spectacular cant wait to get into my new moon themed party i have to ask you…the beautiful scrolly pattern you used on your quotes did you design it or did you get from somewhere else?? the reason i am asking is that i love it so much i am incorperating it into a tattoo and would love the backround behind it thanks heaps!
Thank you so much for the awesome ideas and templates! We had my daughters Twilight party today,and it turned out great. So, Thanks again!
Stephanie – You’re welcome!!
Kathy – I just emailed you the scroll design ;)
I’m having a surprise twilight themed b-day party for my older sis. any ideas? i need help!!! she’s turning 15!!!!!!!!!
jenn, please email me the scroll design too! i love it!
Wow, this is absolutely AMAZING! I found some pictures when I was searching the Forks Chamber of Commerce site, found the Cullen House were theres a B&B and these pictures instantly caught my eye! Absolutely amazing! Certainly going to have to use some of your ideas!
thanks so much Jenn for the scroll design!
This is such a great list…. I would add a few things… like some of the Twilight cell phone charms on Amazon that look llike Bella’s bracelet (comes in 10 packs for favors), and maybe some of the blook lollipops they sell that are associated with Harry Potter but would work too. I also think glow in the dark fangs are a MUST. They’re cheesy, but great.
oh my god this is brilliant, im looking at having a twilight party with a few mates and you have just given me some excellent ideas, i cannot wait to show them off to my fellow twilighter’s
my birthday is comming up so i am having a twilight theme thanks for the good ideas

A huge HUGE thank you, since I utilized the print-outs you provided. All of my friends thought I did a fantastic job. =)
Thinking about having a New Moon birthday next year for my 28th. Hoping you create some snazzy print-outs then. ;) You are amazing, and extremely creative. I thank you Jenn!
Sincerely,
Mesiah
PS: Here is a link to my photo album on Facebook of my party. Please don’t judge me — I got pretty trashed towards the end of the night. LOL.
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21342&id=1665498236&l=61adfdd153
Such creativity. Thanks for so many good ideas. Will be using your ideas for a sweet sixteen party for my daughter’s babysitter.
HI EVERYBODY IF U ARE A TWILIGHT ADDICT GO TO: twilightrockshard.ning.com
This is perfect! I am having a party before the New Moon movie. your ideas rock!
go team Edward.
Have you posted a link to print the blood bag (Twizzler) labels? I LOVE the idea. Thanks :)
Quick question – did you print the quotes and bottle labels on any specific type of paper, or in a specific way? i.e. certain printer, paper…that kind of thing.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Amber –
Your best bet would be photo quality paper if you’re printing these at home – it will hold the ink a lot better and make the colors brighter. I had a friend that works at a copy shop (similar to Kinkos) print these for me – and they used a good quality matte paper, similar to the standard color-copy paper used at Kinkos. Good luck! :)
Hi Jenn- LOVE the party such cute ideas! I have a question..If I wanted to print the labels at Kinkos how do I go about doing it..can I send this link to them and print them when I get there..or do I have to print it out at home and take it there? Thanks SO much!
Hi Jennifer –
The easiest way would probably be to send them the links to the pdfs directly, instead of to this post. Here are the direct links:
https://www.hwtm.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/twilight_quotes_8x10.pdf
https://www.hwtm.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded_images/twilight_quotes_5x7.pdf
They can download them directly – or you could of course always bring them with you on a disc or thumbnail flash drive too – but they should be able to access them either way.
Good luck! :)
Jenn- Thanks alot!!
Hi Jenn – thank you so much. I have convinced our
local diner to turn it into the Forks Diner on Halloween night and have a Twilight Night. Our PSU
students are dressing like the Cullens, even our
local Police Dept. is giving us a police car to say
Forks Police Dept. Car dealers are bringing in a
silver Volvo, Bella’s look-a-like truck Rosalie’s
convertible and of course, the Jeep of Emmetts
We have prizes and the Forks Diner Menu
decorations and are expecting a huge crowd.
Anyone out there close by come on it’s FREE
only pay for what you order from menu.
DuBois, Pennsylvania (DuBois Diner)
Please list on your site if you can.
Go to DuBois Diner.com and see the diner.
Love, Karen
thanks for some more party tips
can’t wait for NEW MOON
karenpalmer62@yahoo.com
I forwarded the links to my local Kinkos store and they won’t print them because of copyright infrigement. Any ideas? Also, can you please post a link to the labels you used twizzler bags? They look different than the ones you used for the drink labels. Did you use sticky labels for those or just tape them on the back? Please let me know, my party is Saturday
Where can the red gem thingys be purchased? I was looking for some at Walmart and didnt see any… anyone have any ideas?
Hi Crystal –
You can buy them online here:
http://www.jamaligarden.com/index.php?option=com_404error
or in smaller packs here:http://www.wholesaleflowersandsupplies.com/store/p/1025-Acrylic-Ice-Crystals.html
hope that helps! :)
Hi Jenn, thanks so much!! I appreciate it! I noticed in one of the comments above it says that Kinkos would not allow her to have the labels printed off… do you think Staples would have a problem doing it?
I also just wanted to say that this is best idea ever, I cannot WAIT to have this party!
Carmen & Crystal –
The best way to get around the copyright issue is probably to just download them at home first and bring them to Kinkos on a disc or thumbnail drive.
Of course if they read the post, it should be obvious that the labels were purposely made available for people to download, but maybe they’ve had issues with that in the past and have strict rules about it. If you bring them in on a disc though, you should be fine ;) Good luck!
Thank you Jen! :) I really appreciate it!
I’m having my 10th birthday party and I love this idea. If anyone could give me some ideas about incorporating twilight theme party as a pool party.
Please write me soon, because my birthday is coming up soon and I don’t have much time. Thanks! :-)!
I’m going to have to
download these ideas
thanks so much. love the ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Hey I’m having a New Moon Movie Release party on November 19th before my friends and I go to the midnight showing. Do you have any great ideas for that yet?
Hi Shari –
We’re working on New Moon party ideas right now! Look for them to here in early – mid October :)
I LOVE the movie quotes. was wanting to use then for my daughter’s 16th birthday party. can not download them could you email them to me?
TWILIGHT IZ AWSUM IM GOING TO USE SOME OF THEASE IDEAS
Luv the ideas….tried to download the 5×7 quotes and error message file is corrupt. Can you email them to me?
Thanks!
Jodi
Is there a name for that font? It’s so cool. I’m not a computer person all the help I can get would be less stressful as I try out some of your WONDERFUL ideas. Thanks!
Hi Tammy –
The main “Twilight” font is called Zephyr and you can get it here:
http://twilightsource.com
and the other one I used is called “Be Safe” – and you can get that one here:
jenn :)
hey i just noticed this on etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/30530234/twilight-vampire-slumber-party-kit?ref=sr_gallery_3&ga_search_query=twilight+party&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=5&order=date_desc&includes=title
Um…WOW. Thanks, Val, for letting me know that was happening! :0
hey no prob, I’ve been a fan of your site for a while and you’re pretty much amazing. I just hate to see people abuse your freebies. :)
Hey Jenn,
Thank you so much. Your site has made me very excited to have my own Twilight gathering.
Thanks for the ideas and downloads. You have a gift. You’re very kind to share it.
Best of luck on any future ideas.
Val,
Thank you for sharing what you found. I am outraged by whomever “mommymogul” is because that is just so sketchy to be selling Jenn’s creations in a party lot when people can get it for free here.
Wow, I don’t know why I’ve got my panties in a bunch about this. Maybe it’s because Jenn’s been so generous about sharing her party ideas with the world for free, and people are ripping her off!
Lame.
Thanks again for sharing.
Hi Jenn!!! Thank you sooooo much for all these great freebies and ideas. Definitely the BEST source on the interwebs. :) I had a birthday party for Bella, and you can find my pics here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/girl-land/sets/72157622233044423/
Turned out GREAT! Used a ton of your graphics and my guests LOVED. Can’t thank you enough!!!!! xo
Dear Jenn,your scroll desing is the best thing I had found!Can you please! e-mail them to me.I wound love to used them for my mom’s 60th birthday.Thank you & God Bless!
I can’t give you enough PRAISES for this site! Thank you so much for the freebie PDF’s. They are fantastic!
I was wondering when you put the drink labels on if the drinks were cold? I’m curious about condensation and how that’ll affect my photo paper. Just curious how YOU did it. Thanks!
this site is so cool! i was wornden where my mom got all of the aswome ideas for my birthday party know i see.
Eve –
Just to clarify – did you just want the scroll motif that’s used in the signs above? I can email it to you in Illustrator or Photoshop format. Let me know which you prefer…
Katherine – Thanks for the kudos! I was worried about condensation too, so the drinks were a bit cold but not chilly. Most people poured the drinks into ice-filled cups to actually drink them, so it was mainly about the initial display :)
Sarah –
Thanks so much for sharing your party pics! Everything looked GREAT! It’s so fun to see the quotes in use at other peoples’ parties :) Love the earrings you made too!
ThisisHollywood.com has a life size Edward poster- perfect for this party!
Another quick question for ya! :)
Twizzler Bites – did you just separate out a big bag of Twizzlers & put them into individual bags? What kind of bags did you use? Are they sandwich bags or ziplock bags?
Hi Katherine –
I used clear cellophane “treat bags” from Target. They were in the gift wrap section. I just filled the bottom 1/3 of the bags then rolled the extra over and taped it down.
And yes – I just divided up a big bag of Twizzler Bites, which I got at Target too :)
Thanks, Jenn! Ahh…I never would have thought of the treat bags in the gift wrap section. Perfect! :)
WOW…. thanks for ideas i have to do 1
Hey everyone! So we are deciding to throw a new moon premiere/birthday bash, and I have a few questions :]
–would it be tacky if we had both red & beige lip glosses to have vampire & werewolf kisses?
–any ideas for guy “goodies”? We have some male friends coming.
–going along w/ the New Moon theme, we are trying to make it both Edward & Jake (well duh, it’s the theme of the book & movie!) I need some more ideas, food, decorations & etc, any ideas, I’ll take ’em.
–Should I play music in the background (I have the twilight soundtrack) or play the new moon trailers on a loop??
–I need some help planning “activities”. Everyone at my party is ages 17-22 so I don’t know if it would be lame to have activities or lane not to… And what sorts of activities?
Thanks a bunch everyone!!!!
I had an AMAZING! SWEET 16!!
we had ‘The Great Twilight Race’ lots of prizes.. posters, books, jewelry and random girly products.
A game we had was Red Jelly shots for ‘newborns’. you have to eat as many shots… using chopsticks and not being able to touch the cup. It was VERY messy but ALOT of fun!
we also had best dressed. It was dress up but some couldn’t afford to dress up so we made the theme colors black, red and white. We had people dressed up as the volvo! very funny!!
ALOT more games to if you want me to tell you details please ask and I’ll e-mail you or something.
Thanks !! :)
This is such a good idea!Can i please have some of the quotes if you can because I am very obsessed with Twilight and my 14 birthday is coming up so I want everything Twilight realted if you can thank you=)
Basia –
You can actually download the quotes and labels directly from this post! Here are the links:

Are you going to make any quotes from New Moon? Just wondering =)
How do you make your own labels?
What type of software
Britni –
Yes I am! I’m shooting some New Moon party ideas on October 23, so I’ll have them done before then. If there are any specific quotes that you think are especially important to include, please let me know :)
Kerry –
I mainly use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I’m a graphic designer though, so I can use these programs for work, which justifies the high cost. You could also get away with using Photoshop LE – a smaller, much less expensive version of Photoshop, if you’re mainly going to be using it to make labels!
Hey Jenn! I am throwing a New Moon Premiere Party & Birthday Bash November 14th and I was wondering if you wouldnt mind doing some specific quotes for me?
“Leave it to you, Bella. Anyone else would be better off when the vampires left town. But you have to start hanging out with the first monsters you can find.”
“The hardest part is feeling… out of control. Feeling like I can’t be sure of myself—like maybe you shouldn’t be around me, like maybe nobody should. Like I’m a monster who might hurt somebody.”
“Hunting vampires is fun. It’s the best part of this whole mess.”
“Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?”
“You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you. I was thinking of you, seeing your face in my mind, every second that I was away. When I told you that I didn’t want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.”
“I’m surprised they left you behind. Weren’t you sort of a pet of theirs?”
Thank you!!!
jenn, im having a new moon party, and was wondering if you could include these quotes;
forbidden to remember, terrified to forget. bella page 117
it will be as if i’d never existed. edward page 71
I thought I’d explained it clearly before. Bella, I can’t live in a world where you don’t exist. edward page 509
I cannot be without you, but I will not destroy your soul. edward page 518
I’d rather die than be with anyone but you. bella page 45
Which is tempting you more, my blood or my body? bella page 52
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, yes — PLEASE draft up the quote “I’d rather die than be with anyone but you.” and “Which is tempting you more, my blood or my body?”
I will love you forever Jenn. =)
This would be a good idea even for a devils night idea.
I’m not a fan of twilight but I would def use some of these idea for a Devil’s Night Theme idea at work.
Thanks
What a great post and a great blog! Wish I had found this before I had my own Twilight Dinner Party last week. I really liked the stuff you did with the blood types. Check out the article I just posted on my Decorating/Party website at http://www.makingarrangementsblog.com with lots of photos and ideas for a Twilight Dinner Party. I’ll have to add this blog to my favorites list!
Love these ideas!!! Will you please do signs with New Moon quotes?? We are having a New Moon party next month!!
Hi Everyone –
I’m going to work on the New Moon quotes sometime next week. I will do my best to incorporate the most popular/favorite quotes, but I can’t facilitate everyone’s individual requests due to the volume of quote suggestions that have been coming in. Hope you can understand!
Cheers,
Jenn
I understand completely about the quotes. You are brilliant Jenn, and I know you will blow us away with whatever you come up with.
Can’t wait!
Love the whole idea! What type of paper did you print the labels on? where is it available?
Jenn-
Did you design the flourishes or can they be found somewhere online where I can buy/download them? I am designing some invites for a party coming up and even though I found some flourishes, I just don’t like them as much.
I’ve looked at a lot of party ideas, but I was surprised no one has said to dip strawberries in dark chocolate. Yummy and it goes with the black/red theme!
Hi Teresa –
The paper is just “photo quality” with a matte finish. You can find it at most office supply stores and probably even Target and Walmart!
I’d recommend having these printed at some place like Kinkos though (I did too). There is so much black ink that it’s probably cheaper to do that than to go through 1-2 ink cartridges on a home printer. Less of a hassle too :)
Cheers,
Jenn
Dear Jenn,
Sorry, I couldn’t get to you sooner .You can e-mail me, the scroll motif that’s used in the signs above in photoshop format.
Thank you & God Bless:
Eve:
i love twilight it is amazing so anyone that hasn’t read it yet get to reading you will love it i’m not lien!!! my favorite quote is “stupid shiny volvo owner” lol its my favorite
Hi Jen,
I love love love your ideas. I am planning on throwing a New Moon Party on the movie premiere day (November 20th). I noticed that you mentioned to another blogger that you will be putting together some New Moon stuff. You said you’d have it ready by the 23rd. I have looked around on your site and haven’t found it. Just wondering if you have posted anything yet! Please let me know! I want to get my shopping done and planning started! I am so very excited!
Hi –
I was just wondering what ideas you have for New Moon etc. I love what you did for Twilight!
thanks!!
Thanks for these ideas! I will be printing your quotes and using them at my Twilight Game Party! Can’t wait to see what my friends think!
What is the blood coming out of the cupcakes. My friend and I are hosting a party for the new movie and really really want to make those, but neither of us can figure out if it’s food coloring or is it strawberry preserves. Thanks!
Hi Jenn –
I’m not 100% sure what that bakery used, but it looks like raspberry sauce to me – the kind restaurants use to decorate decadent desserts (and sometimes even drizzle on the plates).
Here are a few examples:
https://www.google.com/search?q=raspberry+sauce&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&tbm=isch&gws_rd=ssl
You could always use food coloring to make the color even darker!
Hey Jenn. I noticed you were going to do some new moon quotes. No pressure, I was just wondering so I could add them to the ones I already have from the twilight party I had for the new moon premiere.
Hi Carmen –
I’m working on them as we type! Was hoping to have them uploaded today, but it will probably be tomorrow… so much going on lately, it’s been hard to keep up!
The New Moon quotes are a little different than the Twilight ones though – I’m designing them to match the colors/vibe of the New Moon movie posters… stay tuned!
Im going to use some of your ideas and printouts for my halloween vampires themed party.
Thank you
Jen you are awesome for always sharing with us! I too would love to have the flourish design, but I realize how super busy you must be , so whenever is good for you hon.
XOXO,
Modobella@yahoo.com
Hi Jenn – I am trying to download your 8×10 twilight quotes for my twilight/new moon party next week. Adobe is saying that the file is damaged when I try to open it. I have successfully opened the 5×7 quotes and the drink labels. Can you email me the 8×10 quotes or do yo have another link that works please??? Also, have you posted your New Moon quotes yet? Thanks so much! And you are very talented and love your stuff!!!!!!!!!
Also, does anyone have any good ideas for games – I already have a twilight/new moon jeopardy board i made and bingo. Any other suggestons for adult women who are crazy for edward and jacob :)???
Twilight Party Supplies now available at
Becky— we are doing New Moon quote trivia, a t-shirt design contest & a bon fire for our party :)
I am in the beginning stages of hunting for the perfect details for my daughter 14th brithday. There is no doubt that she will be getting the best party ever, done the Cullen’s way. Thanks for the ideas they are great.
Hi Jenn,
Thanks for your great ideas. I am having a New Moon party and was wondering when you were going to blog about your ideas for that. I am not very creative, so I need all the help I can get! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Jenn-
Can’t wait to see what you have instore for us. I am excited that your new design is around the new moon colors and motif. My party is next week and I hope I am able to use some of it at my party. I will check in, I know you are very busy and much appreciated for your time and skill.
Hello HWTM!!!
I just wanted to thank you for the Twilight theme inspiration and your signs. I used them for a friend’s Bachelorette party. She is obsessed with Twilight (as we all are) so I called it the “Breaking Dawn Bachelorette – Party ’til the sun comes up.” I gave a way red satin wristlets that included a note from Edward (“Be Safe”) and “No Blood, No Foul Mini first aid kits” and “Vampires get headaches? Ibuprofen packs” for any clumsiness and hangovers. I got a life size cut out of Edward for pictures and “Twilighted” the room out with your quotes, candles, red ribbon, and pictures of the bride to be.
I took tons of pictures of the set up here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=40514&id=1352945210&l=107fec9823
Thanks again!
Jackie
Wow Jackie! Saw the FB pictures for the Bachelorette party & they are fabulous!!! great job!
We are using this entire theme idea for my 30th Birthday Bash in December! I can’t wait! Thanks for sharing :)
I was so excited when I found this webpage. I am hosting a Twiparty for my friends and the quotes in frames is a genius and inexpensive decoration idea. I can’t wait to see their faces when they come through the door! Thank you!!!
You are BRILLIANT! We’re using many of your ideas for our Twilight themed party next weekend! Thank you!
Had my Twilight/New Moon party last night – I used Jenn’s quotes and ideas and added some ideas of my own – check it out – we played Twilight Jeopardy and Twilight Bingo and I made Edward and Jacob coaster tiles and gave them away as prizes. I also gave each person a ruffled tulip with a love note from Edward or Jacob (depending on who was their favorite). We had a blast and Jenn’s quotes really made my place look amazing :)

Becky – how did u do the blood drop glasses? Did you use the recipe on this site or did u do something else? thanks!
Wow, Becky! You did SUCH a great job on the party & really went all out with the creative details! Nice work! ;)
Becky,
I’d love to see what you did, but I am not on Facebook and cannot access your pics.
Could you possibly post them some other way or send them to my e-mail?
Thanks,
Tammy
Becky –
I am the same as Tammy. Not on facebook, but would love to see what you did. Can you send it to my email please or post another way? Thanks!
Rhonda
tammy and rhonda – my email is beck0223@bellsouth.net. send me an email and i will email you the pics.
Did you use a different kind of label other than the drink labels for the Twizzler bags?
Becky P,
There are twilight downloads on your bookshelf that I do not see in the downloads on this web page. One has a parrot tulip in the background and the big on on the top shelf, where did you get those?
Great looking party!!!
Carmen –
Those are actually the new printables for New Moon that I posted last week :) You can get them right here:
https://www.hwtm.com/2009/11/free-printables-new-moon-twilight-saga/
Katherine –
The labels on the twizzler bags are the same labels as the drinks. I just trimmed the edges down to fit better on the cellophane bags.
HI
I am trying to host a new moon party..but I’m completely clueless to computers.
My question is what do you mean by “You may need to direct third party printers to this note before they’ll agree to print them for you.” as far as getting them printed from Kinkos.
Hi Mary –
This only applies if you ask Kinkos to download the files directly from this post. If you download them first yourself and put them on a thumbnail drive or disc to bring into Kinkos, you’ll be fine.
But if you ask Kinkos to go to the blog, then download and print the designs directly from the post, they sometimes worry about copyright issues, so I put that note at the bottom of the post to let the employees know that I’ve given permission for other people to use these designs and that it’s okay to print them for you.
Hope that all made sense ;)
Hi Jenn!
Thank you sooo much for taking your time to clarify things for me! I’m looking forward to using the new moon printables for my daughters b-day party. Hopefully I can pull it off without embarassing her.
thanks again! =)
I just had my party last night it was so FUN!!! thanks for all the awesome ideas!
your ideas are great. My daughter wants a twilight birthday party, and your ideas are wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You rock!
Thankyou so much for this. It is absolutley wonderful that you are putting forward such wonderful things for Twilight fans to enjoy! I think even Edward Cullen himself would be impressed with your fine work…
Wow, is all I can say. That is one of the best ideas I’ve seen. Your graphics and creativity are amazing. Give yourself a huge pat on the back. Keep up the great work!
Rhonda,
Did Becky ever send you the pics. I don’t think I ever received them.
Just curious.
Thanks,
Tammy
Tammy –
No she did not.
Rhonda
Tammy & Rhonda –
I just emailed Becky to see if I could feature some of her pics on the blog. Keep you posted :)
Jenn s.
WOW! Thanks.
If you’re the hugging type…. I’m sending you a virtual one. You’ve been more than amazing with EVERYTHING!!
Thank you so much.
Tammy
Thanks Jen. I appreciate it. You are just awesome!
We just had our party last Saturday and it was sooo much fun. You can check out the pics here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/8375329@N07/sets/72157622700767291
Hope this works.
Thanks!
Rhonda
Hi Tammy and Rhonda – I’m sorry about the photos. They are too big to send via email and I have been trying to figure out how to make them smaller into a zip with no luck. I see, Rhonda, that you have your pics on flicker – I think I’ll try that tonight and see if that works. Sorry again for taking so long.
That’s ok Becky. I know it’s difficult and busy at times. I chose Flickr to share with the guests since I’d used it before. There’s also picasaweb.google.com and many others. I was just curious as to what others have done. I forgot to take additional pics that show more of what we did, so this is what I ended up with. We were in a hurry when I took them. Anyways, hope those sites help you.
Rhonda
Thanks, Tammy! I’m definitely the hugging type ;)
Rhonda – I’d love to see your pics but it says the page is set to private when I click on the link…
Rhonda
Flicker said I did not have access to your pics. Any idea what I’m not doing right?
Tammy
Tammy –
I’m not sure why. I just clicked on it and it took me right to the site. If you want to send me your email and I can try to share it with you that way. My email is crnielson@comcast.net.
Is it possible that there’s a “privacy” setting turned on for that album where only your flickr contacts can see it? That’s the only think I can think of…
Hmmm. I have it set to public so everyone should be able to view it. I’ll have to check again later and see if there is something else I’m missing. sorry. Hopefully I can get it fixed so everyone who’s interested can view it.
WOW – can I say amazing!! Here is a link to my vampire blood lollipops – I was making these for all my friends. We are going to see the movie on sunday

Take care

i am turning 17 next year and i am a hude fan of twilight and all this looks perfect 17
“how long you been 17″(bella)
“a while”(edward)
This looks so awesome! How did you print, or what type of paper you used to print the labels??
Hi Cora –
I printed them at Kinkos on their photo quality paper (matte finish, not glossy). I highly recommend this route since there’s so much black in the designs and it can be hard for most home printers to handle!
Love all of your ideas! I printed the drink labels and they look great- What type of adhesive did you use?
great job!!!! those are great ideas you really helped me get a idea for my twilight party!!!
love,scullie
These ideas are kickass! I have a twiparty in a week and these will ROCK DA HOUSE!!
ok i have 2 questions…
1.what do you use for this red colour? and
2.what is this type of papes?because i print these labels using the common paper and the letters weren’t so good….(forgive me about the mistakes…)
Hi Maria –
You should print these out on photo quality paper – that will turn out a lot better because there’s too much ink in the design for regular paper to handle. If possible, save the files to a disc or thumbnail drive and take them to a place like Kinkos and have them print everything for you!
For the red color – I’m think you’re referring to the vases with candles – and those are filled with red acrylic ice gems at the bottom. Here’s a link to where you can buy those: http://www.jamaligarden.com/index.php?option=com_404error
Hope that helps! :)
that is a madd dawg themed party imma have to steel it
thnx u jenn!!!you really helped me!!!
these ideas are awsome…my mother is going to use some of them for my sweet sixteen party…everything looks kool….
Yea, so funny i will do that! I what type… a i think… :P
This is perfect! My friend´s turning 14 and we´re going to surprise her with a twilight party. Thanks!
im doing this 4 my party !!!! :) :)
nice
Thanks for the free downloads and ideas. My daughter is turning 12 and told me whe wanted this theme but me to surprise her with the decorations and you have some great ideas. Thanks again!!!
Sorry my fingers must have been crossed – I meant to say what that she told me that she wanted this theme but to surprise her with the decorations. lol Thanks
I’d love to share some of the pictures of my Twilight party last October. I used many of Jen’s GREAT ideas, but I have no idea how to post pics. Can someone help me out?
Thanks again Jen!!
Tammy
Hello,
I am completely new to this website – but i’ll definitely be coming back!
I stumbled upon this website – while doing some research for a party.
I am actually looking for Ideas for an event for the Eclipse Movie release in June of this year.
I work for a nightclub – so I would have a decent sized decoration budget.. And I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that would be cool to use on a larger scale – these ideas are great – but might not work for an 800 person party. haha.=) I did see the idea of doing foliage and a meadow like theme. But was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions regarding Decorations? Black & Red? Red Ribbons(for the book logo)? any Ideas would be greatly appreciated! =)
I want to do whatever I can to make this event huge! My boss didn’t believe me when I told him we needed to do one when New Moon came out – But now he does.. and we’ll hopefully going to be doing a huge party for Eclipse.
The management team and I are kinda throwing together some ideas right now to build the night.
If we do this event we will be doing it with a radio station and doing sneak preview prize packages, etc.
Hi, Jenn: I stumbled on this while looking for ideas for my daughter’s 9th birthday Twilight party. Awesome ideas!! I was wondering if you would mind emialing me the labels for the licorice? I would love to use that idea if it is okay. Thank you.
I hope the link works. and I wanted to add that I had my brother doctor up some more quotes from Twilight that I used to wrap around the candles and put in frames for my Edward and Bella “shrine”. ; ) We also had Diamond Hard, Crimson red nail polish as one of the favors (instead of the lipgloss). So much fun to prep for this party – almost as much fun as the party!!!
I just had a Twilight Party this past weekend for my mom’s group and it turned out great! I could not have done it without my friend, Akane’s help and all of your ideas. We used all of your ideas and even made our own Pure Vampire Venon labels for our bottled water. (cuz you know vamp venon is not red – it’s silver! LOL!) Anyway check it out! Hope it makes you proud!
Can’t wait til my New Moon dvd release party! It’s coming out March 20th and we will definitely be using your printables! : )
I have to thank you for all these materials and ideas. THANKS TO YOU my party was hit!!!
Hi, Julie:
I am sorry. I am new to this. I didn’t see the link. Thanks.
Sorry – I put in 2 comments (#224 & #225). The link is on comment # 224. but here it is again. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=50585&id=1346396255&saved
I hope you can see the pics if not I may have to change my settings on facebook so please let me know. Thanks!
ok – so I was told that the link would not work but here’s my last shot at this. It should work. Hope you like the results – the party wasa a hit!
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=51048&id=1346396255&l=22dc2c7cb0
thanks for looking!!!
Julie –
Awesome pics. You did a great job. I was just wondering where you got the labels for the water bottles or how you did them? Everything I’ve tried always didn’t fit right. Thanks.
Rhonda
Hi Rhonda – thanks! I thought of the idea and my brother made it come true. I think it may be easier to do on an excel spreadsheet? Not sure how he did it. : )
hollywood or twilight party
Hi Star – it’s actually just cranberry and vodka. I believe that’s called a capecod? Anyway, we did it to stick w/ the blood theme. ; ) Hope you post your party so we can enjoy it too!
Hi Rhonda – i hope you check this post but I will try to give you a link to the water bottle label. Probably in a few days?
julie-
love your party! you did an awesome job! what is the drink you have in the dispenser? i like the deep red color, i’d like to make it for my party! thanks!
Thanks Julie. I appreciate it.
crnielson@comcast.net
julie p-
I will share the pics, of course! may i also have the link to the water bottle labels? thanks!
You are awesome,My sister and I are doing a surprised sweet 16 for her daughter and love all your idea’s and prob. will use them all, however I have a tricky question I love love the way the Twilight set looks but her party is for both boys and girls is this acceptable if boys are included ? meaning r the guys going to rip about the whole thing? I also saw your new moon set but really loving the whole color scheme of Twilight could do sooo much with this color and as a photographer I’m seeing great possibilities. However I need teenage drinks that they will like and is the theme and music enough,,,at 16 they won’t do games will they? even if twilight oriented? so what else could We do to keep a hug room of teenagers entertained and not humiliate my niece, We want her to feel when the nights over she will think this was the best day she has ever had….HELP…Her birthday is in May actually right before the new release of Eclipse to the theater. But as for now it is all about Edward….lol….We r throwing around the idea of it being a dress like your favorite character with my niece as the only Bella or is this too much? we will be renting a hall of some sort so will have dance space and tons of room for decorations and I will have my fog machine most likely as I was actually making up some of my own sound clips,doing some Photoshop play to make pictures show on the walls for the evening it might be a little juvenile and was doing some research and there you were taking some of the work load off of us,,I think we are having more fun trying to plan than anything else…hehehe hummm I’m seeing stars in this party…..what is lame to 16 yr olds. I think I’m pretty ok about the most but still would like back up…. Thanks
hey, thanks for all the labels can’t wait till may when we use them,But I can’t seem to find the candy labels they look thicker than the drink labels are they the same or different could I please get them if they are different.
thanks,
Looks like fun! I love it!
:D WOW!!!! these ideas are GREAT!!!! i am having a twilight/edward party for my 14th birthday in a month!!!! i might have to use some of these ideas. (if you dont mind)
Brittany –
Don’t mind at all… actually that’s what HWTM is here for – to inspire! :)
photogrl001 – The labels used on the candy actually are the same as the drinks. I’d had a bunch of extras so I just trimmed them down to use on the candy bags :)
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve search all over the place and you have the best ideas! I love that you’ve provided printables too! Thanks!
Thanks, Vanessa! =)
omg this is suchhh a good idea i will deff b useing it 4 my b-day
Thank you sooo much! The quotes will add the right touch to make my party over the top!
I absolutely LOVE this site and all your dazzling ideas for a Twilight party. I’d thought of some things, but am not a graphics guru, which obviously you are. I am so thankful to you! I’ll be using the picture frame idea now, thanks to you!
I would just like to say thanks for having this awesome site. I threw my wife a twilight themed 30th birthday party this weekend and if it weren’t for this stie and all the great ideas here I don’t think I could have done it. I’ve not read the books or seen the movie, but she was quite impressed with all the little details I put in. Thanks again.
I’m so glad I found this very useful site! I’m throwing my sister a suprise birthday party the 19th and cooking at home and baking a 3 tiered cake along with this decorations was a huge money saver compared to a restaurant..Not only that..it’s a lot more nicer!!!
HEY I AM GOING TO HAVE A PARTY IN A MONTH AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TWILIGHT AS MY THEME AND I AM WONDERING OF SOME IDEAS FOR THE PARTY (TWILIGTH RELATED) THERE WILL BE 7 GIRLS THERE I LOVE TWILIGHT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I used many of your print outs for our New Moon party last night and was such a hit! I had a tiny guest list, only 2 others, but we went all out with the decor…I’d be happy to share pics if you or your readers would be interested!
Danielle

Love all of these ideas! For my first Twilight party, dessert was chocolate pots de creme with bright red raspberry sauce. The sauce was delicious and looked very blood-like…I’m sure it would be great on the red velvet cupcakes, too!
I am having a twilight themed 14th birthday party and some of these ideas are deifnately going on the list especially the drinks i love them they are a great idea!
thx! alot im having a twilight party soon, this is going to be super amazing!! it seems like so much fun, o and i have all the recipes for every major food in twilight!!

Krystal & Jennifer –
I am planning to do some for Eclipse… been getting a lot of requests for those lately so I should probably get on that soon. I’ll post them as soon as they’re ready! :)
Thank you soooo much Jenn!!!!
Hi Jenn! I am a big fan on all the ideas you have. My birthday is on June 30, and I was wondering when you get the Eclipse stuff done could you email me and tell me that it is up.
Thanks

I’m going to have to use some of this I’m getting a 18th and I want it all about the twilight saga
Is it possible if you could please repost the link for the 5X7 quotes? I’m having a twilight party soon but it says the file is damaged. I would really appreciate it! By the way, your ideas are amazing! Thanks :)
I absolutly love this idea i am having it for my b-day!!!!!!!!
I am looking for clear test tube shots with caps to make “blood shots”. I only need 50 and don’t want to spend a lot on them. any ideas?
These are the best adult Twilight party ideas! The .pdf files are great too. I wish they were available with a white background too, because the black will use too much ink.
Loove your ideas! I’ve been throwing twilight themed parties for the last few years. Thanks so much for the inspiration–I’ve learned a few more tips and creative party planning!

I just used the downloadable Twilight & New Moon movie quotes and threw a party for my fellow Twilight fans – check it out! so fun!:
I am planning on using these ideas for my daughter’s 16th birthday – I want to make it special – if anyone has any other ideas specific to her party please share. Thanks!
I can’t thank you enough! My daughter is turning 13 and we are having a Twilight party thanks to your great suggestions and printables. I had them printed off at our local Staples and they are beautiful.
Im making a 15th party for my special need child. And she wants it Twilight Theme. Im really enjoying the ideas. Thanks!!!!
i recently gave my daughter an eclipse 6th bday party. ive never had more fun decorating for a party or planning the activities. your party went a different direction since it was geared for adults but it looked amazing. i cant wait to use some of your ideas for my other daughters 13th bday party in december…..right after the release of breaking dawn part 1…..woo hoo!
This is possibly the best planned Twilight party every. The cupcakes are hilarious and perfect for vampire fanatics. I was looking at candy sites for more dark and dreary candy for this theme and I found actual edible blood in bags that you’d find at the hospital. A bit morbid, I know, but awesome.

Great Idea!!!

Great ideas that I can use when I give my daughter her Twilight Sweet 16 next year. We are planning and looking at different ideas and suggestions.
thank you so much for the inspiration. my god daughter celebrated her 16th birthday with 10 of her closest friends and we used your printables for our simple favor table…
your generosity made a huge difference in her celebration!

Great ideas! I’m planning my very first Twilight party for the Breaking Dawn premiere and I can’t wait to use some of your ideas!
Fabulous ideas for my very 1st Twilight party…a combination Breaking Dawn premiere party & birthday party! Thanks so much!
Love all your party help! Please, Please, Please give us some Breaking Dawn printables to go with all your other fabulous Twilight Saga printables!!!
I absolutely love your ideas and your site! It has helped me so much with planning my Breaking Dawn dinner party in a few weeks! :) Question- I want to print the drink labels…. can you tell me which labels you used to print them onto? Size and brand name? Thanks so much! :)
Hi Jenna –
I actually just printed them on laser paper, then cut them out with a paper cutter and attached them with a glue stick. It’s actually easier that way because you don’t need to worry about getting the artwork to line up :)
I know this thread is old BUT I’m using some of these ideas for my Breaking Dawn premiere party. I’m steering clear of fangs and blood tho. I’m taking more of an Alice influenced route. Displaying the twizzlers in crystal vases, etc. in my dining room the decor will be more elegant with white, purple, crystal-creating the wedding. I’m having a small double layered white cake made, trimmed with lavender rosettes and fllowers in “Edwardian” script, the top of the cake will read ‘Congratulations Edward & Bella’ I also have a blinged out letter C cake topper (from my own wedding;). In my family room there will be the classic red,black& white color scheme. Red velvet cupcakes w/creamcheese frosting and dark chocolate cupcakes with red buttercream frosting will be arranged to simulate a chessboard. I have all the soundtracks so it’s a no brainer on the party music! OH I have tons of clear twinkle lights, again saved from my own wedding along w/ white and red table linens and cloth napkins, LOTS of white candles of different sizes. Guess I got lucky, my wedding was 2yrs ago and was twilight inspired not to mention my married name starts w/ C :D I have touchs of C monogram throughout my home already, and WHITE furniture! Lol I’m so ready to get this party started, AND see my Cullens!
I didn’t get to post my menu in the previous entry. upon entering my home guests will see a chalkboard made to look like Bella’s wedding invitation there will also be an elegantly written menu on another board as guests enter the dining room. here are a few menu items:
Fried mushroom ravioli w/ a pesto dip
Veggie frittata (to incorporate the egg craving AND feed a crowd)
Bella’s favorite fried chicken
Veggie tray w/ hummus
Drinks will be served in martini glasses that I bought on clearance a few years ago, I’m definitely using the red ribbon idea and tieing it around the stems of the glasses.
Drinks:
Strawberry daquarie
Bloody Mary
And maybe something tropical, piña colatas or something (a nod to isle esme of course;)
Really well done! This would make a fantastic 17th birthday party theme. Love it! :)
Fantastic ideas! :) I featured this on my blog today, feel free to come check it out.

This is fantastic! My 7 year old wants a vampire party, but its in January and I didn’t want to be too creepy and Halloween like, but the ideas you have are fantastic and will work for this time of month!!!! Thank you for the inspiration!
I think I might have this for my party one year.
Thank you so much! I'm going to use your ideas along with some of my ideas. I'll send you the pictures. What type of paper should I use for the drink labels?

I'm planning a party November 15th! Going to use some of these ideas! Thanks so much!
Thank you, my partner is throwing a party for the last movie and this wil help!
You just gave me an idea for a great birthday party, since my friends and I are great fans, although already married and became mums, the twilight is still in our hearts <3
You have been my inspiration for all four saga parties I've held. You have wonderfully Twilight appropriate ideas that I love! (p.s. I've been taking most of the credit among my friends :) Thank you so much for making me look like a genius!
we LOVE these printables!! We made a couple additional coordinating printables to give in goodie bags for our release party this week. Check them out here — the “Bite Me” apple sticker is our fave :)
