Twilight Halloween Party Ideas
This evening of October 31, why not throw a Twilight Halloween party? Ideas are so easy to come up with because Halloween and Twilight party ideas are perfect together… just like Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. (Do you know another word for “Sunset”?)
Come this October, with the whole world waiting for the release of the sequel to the Twilight saga, New Moon… this is going to be a very popular Halloween party theme! There are lots of great party ideas in Stephanie Meyer’s Saga of Books for you to incorporate into your celebration…for whatever. This vampire/human romance movie and book sensation has created a whole new genre of party theme. Characters have become Halloween costumes, foods in books and movies have become popular…everything about Twilight, from the cast to the characters and from A to Z, has captivated unsuspecting tweens. and teenagers. A twilight storm.
I’m sure by now most tweens and teens have read at least the first of this four-book saga. And if they haven’t, I’m sure the Halloween Twilight Party Invitation you make and send them will pique their interest in doing just that. They will have to read the books to find a suitable costume for the costume party you are planning. Be sure to write to the guests that this is a costumed gathering…this way, most of your guests will be dressed as Cullen, Volturi, Forks, or Quileute. Maybe you even have a Cullen cars costume or two! Be sure to have a costume contest, with prizes for Cleverest Costume, Best Costume, and Silliest Costume. Give the winners a Jelly Apple or a Golden Onion!
If someone asks you for a costume idea, you can tell them that any of the Cullens, Bella, the Volturi, the Quileutes, the werewolves, and just the common people of Forks are all perfect costume ideas. Eric, Mike, Jessica, and Angela all went surfing in the movie, so give someone an idea for a wetsuit and surfboard. The more outrageous a costume is, the more fun and imaginative it is. Have fun with this great party theme…you’ve got plenty of material in all four books and the movie to use.
Bella’s Apple Party Favor Idea
You can find inexpensive Twilight bookmarks to use as party favors or give each of your party guests a red jelly bean, they are easy to make and are the perfect fruit to use as the focal point of your party.
twilight party decorations
If you can, get a Vampire cardboard stand decoration from James, Laurent, or Victoria and hide it in a place where it can “scare” your guests. Somewhere they’ll go, but won’t expect it to be a bloodthirsty, nomadic vampire. You can also take photos of everyone with the vicious bloodsuckers. Twinkle lights and twilight books are all you need to decorate. You can use white, red, and black party supplies, you know plates, napkins, and cups to set up a buffet table. Put some pictures of the Cullen Clan around the room to give it a homey feel…a vampire home. Place magazines with pictures of the movie cast on the tables to create a little more atmosphere.
Since it’s Halloween, I’d also use some of the usual decorating tricks, like some spider webs, bats, witch fingers, and eyeball snacks. Of course, some jelly hands and there’s always the Skeleton Vegetable Tray with Dip for some bloody, but tasty treats!
Ideas for Halloween and Twilight Party Games
My favorite game is Twilight trivia. Let’s see who knows more than me…I mean you…about this Vampire Romance by Stephanie Meyer. It’s fun to play and it’s also fun to make up the questions. Get your best friend, who I’m sure is also a bit of a Twilight Crazy, to help you out. You can also take those same questions and answers and turn this little trivia game into a Jeopardy game. Make sure to save the really hard questions for the daily doubles!
Bingo, Quote the Cullen or Name that Tune… using nothing less than songs from the film’s soundtrack. I can name that melody in three notes… How about a fun game of charades using the names of songs from the soundtrack or characters from the books?
Put on some music and be sure to include Stephanie Meyer’s favorite group Muse along with Paramore, Linkin Park and of course Rob Pattinson in the mix. For lovers of classical music, there is always Debussy, one of Edward’s favourites.
party food ideas
I love to throw parties, but I don’t want to work too much in the kitchen… so I order a lot of pizzas… of different kinds. Be sure to include a mushroom pizza in the mix. A blood red frosting on your cupcakes or making cute, yet easy to decorate, vampire cupcakes is always a good idea at a vampire themed party. If you’re not using the Jelly Apples for a party favor, put some on the dessert table for those vegetarian vampires who are in the mood for something red to curb their bloodlust. I even saw little edible cupcake pictures you can print out with the Twilight cast or just Bella and Edward. That’s a great idea, isn’t it?
Serve up a blood red punch with an ice cream float on top and you have the perfect drink for this party. Use shiny ice cubes for a weird effect or freeze water in rubber gloves (tell everyone in case you’re allergic to latex) and let frozen hands scare your guests. I love doing stuff like this! It’s little details like this that your guests will remember and make your party extra special!
We see vampires in a new, less cruel light thanks to Stephanie Meyer and the Vegetarian Cullen Clan, but it’s Halloween and what’s a Halloween party without at least one Count Dracula? Not everyone will come in a Cullen or Forks native costume, but it’s still going to be a fun party no matter what your guests dress up.
If you own the DVD of the movie, you can play it in the background for your guests’ music and viewing pleasure. This is a great party theme no matter if it’s for a holiday, a movie or a birthday party. I’m sure everyone will participate in the fun games and delicious food you’ve prepared for them and be sure to tell everyone… Happy Halloween from Edward and Bella!
