Party Time!







































After months of being psyched to throw our first Twilight party, it was finally time for our closest friends and fellow Twilight fans to arrive. Our sit down buffet dinner was first. With the Twilight movie and commentary playing in the background, we enjoyed great conversation and a delicious meal. Next came the games. We played Who Am I?, Twilight Saga Jeopardy and Charades/Pictionary. And what fun we had! We gave Twilight replica knit mittens and hats as prizes. Patterns for Bella's mittens, La Push hat and Angela Weber's hat can be found on Ravelry.

We've already had requests to throw another party next year for Breaking Dawn part 1. With such a successful first go around, we may just do it again! Thanks again to all the other party blogs out there for their inspiration and I hope we can help inspire other first time party hostesses too!

Preparations







































Friday and Saturday were dedicated to baking, cooking and decorating all in preparation for the party Saturday night. Our menu was Italian inspired with chicken parmesan, spaghetti, garlic bread and caesar salad with Vampire bites (mini red velvet cupcakes) and Wolf Kibble (white chocolate trail mix) for dessert.
Decorating was most definitely the fun part with candles, tulle, and white twinkle lights (red, black and white of course). A lot of our inspiration was from Hostessblog along with the great quotes and labels.
