Invitations

1
Design your own invitations using the Twilight "Zephyr" font, quotes from the books and images from the movies. Images of red apples, tulips, chess pieces or moons are also Twilight themed and can be included in the stationery design.
-
2
Specify the date, occasion, location and a dress code. You can ask people to come as their favorite character, or perhaps have a Team Edward or Team Jacob sub-theme which can play into the dress code.

-
3
Print and send or email the invitations well in advance. Ensure people RSVP within two weeks of the event date so you have an accurate estimate of attending numbers.
Decorations
-
4
Fill hurricane vases with red apples for the table centerpieces. Substitute with red candy if you want guest to nibble from the centerpieces. Use black, red and white as you color scheme. Black tablecloths with red plates and utensils, red or black candles on the tables or red light covers all give a moody Twilight feel.
-
5
Print out some of your favorite Twilight quotes to place on tables, or as larger posters on the wall. Over the food table place a poster reading "We're Making Italiano For You" from the first Twilight movie where Bella meets the Cullens.

6
Rent a fog machine and mist the floor to recreate the atmosphere of Forks, where the series takes place.
Food
-
7
Make Italian food for the main course, as this ties in with Bella's name and the quote placed over the food table. Pasta, lasagna and pizza are all good choices.
-
8
Rent a chocolate fountain and melt white chocolate mixed with red food coloring. This will look like a fountain of blood. Have strawberries or apple slices for guests to dip in. Red beverages are also a must, from red soda to red non-alcoholic champagne or non-alcoholic apple beer. Print labels that read "Type A" or "Type B" to stick onto bottles.
-
9
Make or order a black forest cake for the birthday cake; it matches the theme well and is delicious. Alternatively any rich chocolate cake with berries and cream will be tasty and match the color scheme.
Entertainment

10
Rent a large novelty chess board for guests to play. If you have asked guests to come as either Team Edward or Team Jacob get the opposing teams to have a play off with the chess set.
-
11
Set up a projector with the Twilight DVDs playing. You can either schedule in a full movie watching session or edit clips of your favorite scenes to play throughout the night.
-
12
Play a round of Twilight trivia or have a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate. Purchase Twilight memorabilia, such as T-shirts, mugs or bookmarks to give out to the competition winners.
