HOLIDAYS
Edward walks out on Bella, Bella turns biker, and Jacob picks up the pieces with brute, beastly strength. Sounds like a young Hollywood party! Twilight movie fans thirsting for more drama are quenched with the premiere of New Moon. Instead of a posh Cullen-style fete to celebrate this new chapter of the Twilight series, go with Bella's adrenaline junky ways. Take it outside at night, serve biker bar food bites, and set up extreme games for those who dare to engage in the fun.
Be authentic and send an official New Moon E-card to invite friends to the party.
- The Twilight promoters have thought of everything. On their official website, you can customize a cool online invite or E-card and email it to your guests.
- If you feel like partying online with fellow fans, check out the community section with all their social media links.
- Here's a little taste of New Moon!
While the New Moon title ties into Bella's attempt at life without Edward and Jacob's werewolf ways, you can get literal with the moon idea and decorate your party by incorporating tasteful thematic items.

The note below precedes the New Moon play list on Meyer's website:
(Note: this loosely follows the story sequence. I'm going to put a B, E, or J after each song, so you'll know who's perspective I'm hearing it from (that might help you categorize them into where they fit in the novel). Mostly B's of course, since she's telling the story.)
