Twilight Party Ideas
The second Twilight movie, New Moon, opens next Friday, Nov. 20. Are you throwing a party at your library? Here are a few ideas for activities, food and decorations to include in the festivities.
Based on the book covers, use apples, red ribbons, chess pieces, and tulips to decorate your space.
I made some vampire bite cupcakes for Halloween, as seen above, adapting this recipe from Baking Bites. To save time, use cake mix and canned frosting. Yum!
Use the beautifully designed labels from Hostess with the Mostess to decorate bottles of red juice or red soda.
Host a trivia contest. Find lots of questions at this Twilight Trivia site, She Knows Entertainment, or write your own if you’ve read the books. Make sure to include a mix of easy and difficult questions.
Make shimmering body lotion, marble magnets using images from the movie or book covers, or Team Edward/Team Jacob t-shirts or buttons.
A librarian on the YA-YAAC listserv suggested a “Drive like a Cullen” race course with cheap remote control cars from Wal-Mart and others suggested a vampires vs. werewolves tug-of-war.
Give out plastic vampire fangs as prizes.
Unfortunately, Summit has pulled public performance rights for the first movie in November and December. Why not show other vampire and werewolf-related movies? Try Blood and Chocolate (werewolves and based on a YA book), Van Helsing, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie) or TV episodes, or I Am Legend.
