DO NOT MAKE FUN OF ME FOR THIS!!!!

I came up with the idea to do Twilight-Halloween theme party. Yes My sister and I are going to do this and already in the middle of planning. We think this is crazy funny and really looking forward to planning the party come Oct.

Okay, the problem is... how do I put these two together?

I search the website and got Twilight party ideas, but I want to mix the Halloween theme into it.

I have some ideas thanks to the people who came up with it. (love the idea people!)
I am planning on....

5x7 picture quotes here and there.
maybe white fat candles
red apples
werewolf cupcakes
blood spatt cupcakes
twillzer candy wrap with saying type o, a, AB etc etc
there will be a couple of Twilight trivia games mix in with the halloween theme games.
maybe white roses or tulip with blood spatter on it.
red apples with carmal dip
tall clear vase fill with red apple

So where is the halloween idea?
HELP ME!!!!!!

OH! come on people dont be SHY!! give me something! Pretty Please!!??

Ok so you have the vampires and the halloween themed snacks, I think your twilight theme is already Halloween. To add more effect you could use black lace to place on top of tables and countertops, hang spiders and webs in the house, use a blacklight in an area with different jars of glowing "itmes" which could be twilight themed, werewolf blood, vampire sparkles, moonbeams, etc.
Play creepy background music like midnight syndicate, nox arcana, virgil, ect.
How about those candy IV bags with the red liquid candy, you could put blood type labels on them as if they came from the blood bank.
I love the twilight movies too. I have to think a bit to come up with more ideas.
Hope this helps - to start anyway

Just a little note right now - On your invite, have a map getting to your house and off to the left or the right have an arrow that you would normally see for the next town over, and have it say Forks.

I agree with Halloweve, just by the very nature of the theme, it can be considered "halloween". You have all the traditional stuff there. The caramel apples, werewolf cupcakes, the candy. Just the black, red and white theme is all very "halloweenie".

If you think about the other themes we do could you consider a twilight theme any less tied into Halloween? Killer clown theme? Leather face- butcher shop? Mad scientist? Nothing really defines an absolute written in stone Halloween theme.

You might be hung up on the color confusion, like black and orange is typically what brings Halloween to mind. But lately, people have been doing some really awesome designs without those colors.

Lime green glitter with black, black and purple, red and black, white-red and black, ect. We are busting out of the orange and black lately, so I wouldnt worry too much about if its halloweenie enough You have all the basics to an awesome party already.

Why not add some spooky woods to your home? Its a twilight AND traditional halloween theme. Get lots of cardboard and make 3D trees and walls, or get the room rolls fr the walls, though that would cost a pretty penny when you can usually get free cardboard.

I like the blacklight idea, and with the white pieces you have it will look great. You can even just do the drinks area for that. Apple cider would be delicious and traditional halloween with the added element that its not overtly obvious and overtake the twilight theme.

For ambiance, you could find a CD with soft rain and occasional distant rolling thunder. Washington is pretty rainy and in the books its generally overcast, it ties in with trad. Halloween and the twilight theme. I would go a step further and get the soundtrack for the twilight movie and play it from another source softly, as long as its music only and no dialogue, along with the soft rain and rolling thunder it can be hauntingly beautiful.

also if you search "twilight" on that site it has some neat ideas, you might have already been there because you mentioned wrapped twizzlers and I saw those there too. Hot apple cider was mentioned too.

I think if you want to add more halloween effect to it you should play up to the strengths of the theme, vampires and wolves...

You sound like your doing great already! I love the red lip gloss idea from the hostess site and all the gems everywhere.

Carving pumpkins with twilight sayings, you could always add a little Italiano dish to the table and put fangs in it or kreppy crawly stuff.

I hope as halloween gets closer some of the magazines will have some good ideas for this theme as I know it's really poular lately.

I really like that idea but my sister and i feel that it might confuse our guests while trying to get here or maybe not really get the joke. AGAIN! the idea is great!!

We were mainly concern was teh Twilight theme getting lost into our halloween decortations and for the guests not to get the point of it.

We are considering the major colors.... RED WHITE AND BLACK.... maybe dark gray too.

My sister and I just yesterday in the pool, talking about the possibleablity of background forrest. I did mention of wanting FULL MOON with bats.

I do have a soundtrack of just thunders so that was good idea, for Rain i will have to look for that one. That was good idea. I have the two sound tracks that are out and i didnt think about the Thunder sounds. Good one.

My sister is in love with black lights i think she will have them up regardless of the theme. LOL!

I think I know what website you were talking about!! I took notes loving the ideas she had going. For the carving the pumpkin twilight theme. I didnt think of that considering I am going full blast pumpkin theme outside with my graveyard theme. OOhh nice really really.

Theme within the Invitation.
Why not work on highlighting the Theme within a Halloween invitation. To be honest, I don't know much about Twilight . but I know there is a rivalry between werewolves and vampires. Maybe you can use that as a central point of the invitation. Maybe something like, once every 100 years on All Hallow's Eve Werewolves and Vampires battle together at Twilight. Or Put there differences aside for some friendly competition at Twilight. I don't know, something like that. You could maybe have pictures of the two main characters from the movie.

Game
Then maybe you could have some kind of game where people are put into two groups, either vampire or werewolf (could do it randomly), and then people are eliminated. I think the vampire - werewolf rivalry could be perfect for planning some kind of ongoing activity for the night. I am playing a zombie-verse human high card game at my 2010 party. It's a background game that is completely optional that will go on through the night. May or may not be of interest to you. But you could probably adapt it to Twilight. Here's the link of the thread I talk about it in, towards the bottom of page 1. 2010 Party Ideas & Plans

Again, I really don't know much about the books/movies - so I apologize if my ideas really don't apply. Hopefully they'll at least help you brainstorm.

Good luck.
