Whether they're on Team Edward or Team Jacob, throwing a "Twilight" themed dinner party is sure to be a hit for your friends that are fans of the popular book and movie series. Bring the "Twilight" world to life by creating a dark, vampire-friendly atmosphere. Gather inspiration with decor and food from the films and include "Twilight" trivia games for an evening of dark fantasy fun. Does this Spark an idea?
Decor
Dress the dining table with a black table cloth and place red votive candles in the center. Alternate votive candles with tall candles in antique-looking silver or gold candle holders. Use fancy decorative plates and utensils set on red place mats. Cover windows or doors where light can come through with black felt, since vampires cannot come out in the light. Leave an extra plate at the end of the table. This can represent the vampires since, in the "Twilight" series, they do not eat. Hang movie posters around the room and set the books on a mantelpiece or side tables. Place a red apple at each place setting and cut a slit into the apple to hold the name card of the guest.
Dinner
Set out a snack table with red and black candy-coated chocolates and red gummy candies. Serve mushroom ravioli as the entree, which is what Bella ordered on her first date with Edward in the first book. If you don't like mushrooms or would prefer something else, serve some type of Italian meal, since the characters go to Italy in the book "Eclipse." Bloody Marys or dark red wine can be served to represent blood, or a non-alcoholic fruit punch for underage guests.
Dessert
To represent Jacob and his wolf pack, serve a "puppy chow" dessert -- 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1/4 cup butter, 1 tsp. vanilla and 2 cups of cereal tossed with powdered sugar to coat. Another dessert to serve is red velvet cake with a white vanilla or cream cheese frosting, or a buttermilk berry cobbler, Bella and her father's favorite dessert. Other dessert options include chocolate covered strawberries and jelly doughnuts.
Entertainment
Play the "Twilight" movie soundtracks throughout dinner. After dinner, play trivia games, asking tough questions that only die-hard fans of the series will know the answers to. You can have everyone play individually or divide up into teams. Play the trivia games in a variety of ways, such as trying to get teammates to guess what you are drawing or having to act something out. Another idea is to create "Twilight" bingo, using names and places from the books and movies in the bingo squares. If you have time, watch one of the movies, choosing which one by majority vote.
