One of the hottest party themes this fall will be the Twilight theme. This party idea is based on the popular book and movie of the same name. They are about the tortured romance between a mortal teenager named Isabella Swan, Bella to her friends, and her vampire lover Edward Cullen. In the book that starts the series Bella leaves sunny Arizona so her mother can start her life with her new husband. Bella goes to live with her father Charlie in gloomy Forks, Washington were the sun rarely shines. It is here that she meets the love of her life only to find out that he is not human and the complications of a love between a human and an immortal soon come in full force.

If you are a "Twi-Hard" this is not news to you as you have probably read the entire series several times and seen the movie as well. What you want to know is how to throw a party that would not only be approved of by fellow fans, but Alice Cullen herself. When planning for this type of party you will need to find great party supplies, favors, and come up with an interesting menu. The great news is that you can draw inspiration from the books and movies for ideas. Here are some to help guide as you plan the ultimate Twilight Bash.

You need to think about your decorations first. The color palette for your party will be red, black, and white as reminiscent of the book covers for the series. So make sure to get the basics in these colors. That means balloons, streamers, twinkle lights, and paper decorations. Also use images from the book covers as you main motifs. These would be the apple, tulip, red ribbon, and chess board pieces. These will make your guests feel as if they stepped into the book covers.

Next think about the atmosphere of the party. The keys to setting the right mood will be music and lighting. For lighting go with candles and try to get them in your party's colors. You can also go for colored candle holders to add to the mood. The next thing to focus on is the music. Music can make or break a party. An excellent place to start is with the playlist the author of the Twilight series, Stephanie Meyers, used to inspire her as she wrote the book. They are available on her website. Also you can draw inspiration from the movie soundtrack. Also don't just stop there extrapolate with more of the artists' work. For example, a song by the band Paramore is the key song for the movie. Try using more of their music. It will add variety but at the same time keep the mood of the party going.

Finally you got to have food. I've looked around the net and found a lot of great suggestions. First off this is a vampire romance we are using as our theme so go with red drinks. It can be cool aid, cranberry juice, or grape juice for younger party attendants or red alcoholic drinks for the older crowd. Another great suggestion is to have an ice cream bar with strawberry syrup and red candy toppings. You can also have some key foods mentioned in the book like pizza, lasagna, or mushroom ravioli.
