If you are a fan of the Twilight book series or movies, a Twilight party theme can be a great choice. To help you plan your party, here are some ideas.
Décor
Create a forest atmosphere by using plenty of greenery, fairy lights, and dark colors like deep purples and blacks. Decorate with wolf and vampire imagery, such as posters, banners, and tablecloths featuring werewolves and vampires. Set up a cozy “Bella’s Room” area with furniture and decorations inspired by Bella’s bedroom in the series. Scatter Twilight-themed props around the party, such as apples (a reference to the book cover), chess pieces (from the Twilight book covers), and tulips (a symbol from the series).
Costumes
Encourage guests to dress up as their favorite Twilight characters, including Bella, Edward, Jacob, Alice, or any other vampire or werewolf. Suggest vampire or werewolf costumes for those who want to participate but don’t have a specific character in mind.
Food and Drinks
Serve a mix of human and vampire/werewolf-themed food and drinks. For example, you could offer “Bite-sized Blood Orange Caprese Skewers” for a vampire twist on a classic appetizer. Provide drinks like “Blood Red Sangria” or “Werewolf Whiskey Sour” along with non-alcoholic options. Decorate cupcakes or cookies with Twilight-themed designs, such as apple or wolf paw prints.
Activities
Host a trivia game with questions related to the Twilight series to test guests’ knowledge of both the books and movies. Set up a photo booth with props and backgrounds inspired by scenes from the Twilight series. Screen one of the Twilight movies or have a marathon showing of multiple films throughout the party.
Music
Create a playlist featuring songs from the Twilight movie soundtracks, as well as other moody, atmospheric music that fits the theme.
Party Favors
Send guests home with Twilight-themed goodies, such as bookmarks with quotes from the books, mini bottles of “vampire blood” (red-colored candy or drinks), or werewolf-themed keychains.
Remember to have fun with the theme and personalize the party to suit you and your guests’ preferences. With some creative planning, your Twilight party will surely be a memorable event for everyone involved!

In case your visitors are not enthusiastic about it, it might be entertaining to organize easy trivia activities or questions to determine who among them has unintentionally acquired the most knowledge about Twilight through pop culture exposure. The winner could be designated as the ultimate honorary Twihard. For instance, you could challenge them to identify various characters, including lesser-known ones like Seth, Billy, or Jessica, or have them choose Bella’s truck from a group of old pickups. Another idea could be to have them guess if a quote is from the books or one that you have made up.
There is a Twilight-inspired cookbook available online, featuring various recipes that could be useful for meal planning. For a fun twist, consider serving a bright red punch as a mock blood drink. Additionally, if budget allows, consider ordering Bella’s iconic green dress from New Moon for a party, or try to find a similar dress within your price range.
