3 Hauntingly Amazing Ideas For Twilight Party Decorations

By Aaron Hu

With the release of the film adaptation of "New Moon" coming out this November, Twilight mania is finding new life this fall. If you are a devoted fan of the series, take advantage of this time to plan your own themed party based on your favorite series. If you are a newbie and are just looking for the next hot things for parties this fall, here is some background info. Twilight is a book series by Stephenie Meyer, that is about the romance between a teenager and vampire who goes to her school. The couple has to struggle with their own insecurities and the strength of their feelings while also dealing with the consequences of a mortal being privy to the secret world of the supernatural. Whether you are a fan or newcomer, here are some great party tips to help you get started.

Use the book covers of the series as inspiration for your decoration colors. If you look at the official covers for the Twilight series, the colors used are white, black, and red. Use these colors in all your party decorations from balloons and streamers to centerpieces and wall decorations. To take it a step further, get blown up posters of the covers and use them as wall decorations.

The next place to draw inspiration from is the Movie adaptation of Twilight. The movie did a great job picking the cast to best embody the characters in the book. A great idea is to use movie posters with images of the characters also as decorations. You take it up a notch with life sized cut-out of the characters. This way you can have your guests take photos with them. Another innovative idea is to take promotional pictures from the film and photo shop yourself in with your favorite characters. These will be certain to impress your guests, especially if they are fans.

Another decoration idea is to use the shapes from the book covers to guide your decorations. A great example I saw was a centerpiece that used Tulips and stemmed apples on a red and white chess board set. These are three of the main images on the book covers. You can also take it a step further with apple shaped candles. Your guests will feel like they stepped into the book covers.

Another design idea comes straight from the first book, Twilight. At the end of the first book Bella and Edward go to prom. So try thinking about copying the prom look from the movie and as describe in the book to add extra glitz to your event. You will need more floral arrangements formed in arches and scattered around the party area. You will need twinkle lights to add to the atmosphere.

Music in itself can be a decoration adding to the mood of the event. A great place to start is to go the Stephenie Meyer website. She has playlists of all the songs that she used inspire her as she wrote the books. You can also use the movie soundtrack. Don?t stop there. Also add tracks of your favorite songs that you wished were part of the soundtrack. A personal favorite I think would be appropriate is Evanescence. You can also borrow from the sound tracks of other shows like Moonlight. This show while it was cancelled has one of the best TV soundtracks I?ve ever come across. - 30544
