Party Planning Guide
Pick a Scene from the Twilight movie. Chose your favorite moment: the baseball scene, perhaps the Prom scene, maybe Bella meeting the Cullens for the first time.
Decorate doorways, the birthday room, the front door, the kitchen, even outside if your party will be outdoors. Decorate with streamers, Twilight posters and colorful balloons. You may chose a cake recipe from Take A Bite, The Unofficial Twilight Cookbook, order a specialty theme cake or seek ideas from websites on how to create your own memorable cake.
