Looking for theme for teen party invitations?  The Twilight series of books by Stephenie Meyer is quickly emerging as a phenomenon among tweens and teens. The first installment hit the big screen in November 2008—and now you can get the Twilight DVD! Now, the Twilight saga continues with the second movie in the series being released on November 20, 2009. Again, it’s a perfect time for a New Moon party!

For your Twilight party consider these activities for loads of fun:

  • Play Twilight Jeopardy
  • Read favorite excerpts from the book
  • Edward can run fast. As dusk falls, provide flashlights and have races to see who can keep up with Edward’s speed. Set up races or a game of flashlight tag for fun.
  • Make Twilight bracelets using glow in the dark string and charms.
  • Alice Cullen is super hyper … how does she get this way? See who can become Alice Cullen by holding a food-eating contest. Serve candy bars and ice cream. How much will it take for you to get hyped?
  • Have a vampire taste-test. Put out all sorts of red foods and see if your guests can guess what they are. Ideas include red hots, red icing, ketchup, chilis (these are hot … watch out!), red bell peppers, French salad dressing, etc. Make sure to blindfold your guests to make it more difficult.
  • Vampires are (often) ice cold. Have your guests go bobbing for apples in ice-cold water. See who captures an apple!
  • Play a game of baseball with apples
  • Act out a favorite scene from the book. Make sure all of the Twilight characters are covered, but instead of playing the scene out as the book does, create your own ending—it will be a surprise as it unfolds! The only rule: it can’t turn out as it does in the book.
  • How about Jacob the werewolf? How about a howling contest! Who can do it best? Give out prizes for most original, loudest, and oddest howl.
  • A great prize would be a copy of one of the books. It would be a splurge, but great fun!

Make fabulous swag bags with items in it representing each character. Have your guests guess which character goes with what as they head out into the New Moon night:

  • Cake mix (fudge marble)
  • Jaw breakers
  • Eclipse gum
  • Red finger nail polish
  • Tennis ball
  • Belle perfume 

 Have a fun time celebrating New Moon’s release!
