Twilight Birthday Party Decorations

The Twilight book covers offer great party decor inspiration. From the red, black and white color scheme to the dramatic symbols, incorporating the Twilight book covers into your birthday is a cinch with these tips:

Red Apples

Red apples are practically synonymous with the Twilight series, precisely why their presence is de rigueur at a Twilight themed birthday bash. Integrate the red apples into your birthday party by:

• Fill tall hurricane vases with red apples for a dramatic statement
• For a birthday dinner party, print out name cards using the Twilight font (Zephr, see download details in the Party Favor section of this article) and pin them to a red apple at their place setting
• Fill a bowl with red apples as a centerpiece for your food table, dessert table or cocktail table

Blood

Blood obviously plays a large part in the Twilight series. Whether Bella is inadvertently slicing her hand open on glass or the Cullens are feeding on animal blood, the life force of all living things has a central role in the novels.

• Create a piece de resistance for your birthday party by adding oil-based red food dye to a white chocolate fountain. The chocolate will run red, creating a phantasmagorical fountain of faux blood. Set aside a plate full of sliced red apples for guests to indulge in their inner Cullen.

• Make your own "Bella Blood Type" packets with Red Twizzlers (note: her actual blood type is unknown, so go with whichever blood type you prefer). Fill a cellophane bag with red Twizzlers licorice and label the bags "A Positive", "Type O", "Type B", etc. to mimic blood bags that Carlisle stocked up on for Bella in Breaking Dawn

Chess Pieces

The cover of Breaking Dawn features the white queen and the red pawn, powerful symbolism that parallels with the novel. Incorporate chess pieces into the Twilight birthday party decor to represent the final book in Stephenie Meyer's series:

• Either create your own chocolate chess pieces with candy molds, or buy a regular chess set and use the pieces as a centerpiece. Elevate the chess pieces high on a cake platter, or send birthday guests home with chocolate chess pieces as a favor.
• Rent or buy a giant chessboard, and use the oversized white queen as a table centerpiece. You can also paint the white pawn red and create a life-sized setup that mimics the cover of Breaking Dawn.

Foggy Forks

Create a murky, foggy and authentic Forks, Washington atmosphere for your Twilight birthday party by renting a small fog machine for the evening. To save on cost, you can also purchase dry ice and place it in multiple containers around the party area to create a foggy appearance throughout the party.

New Moon Parrot Tulips

The cover of New Moon features a gorgeous red and white parrot tulip flower. Though the exact parrot tulip shown on the cover is only available from early through late Spring, red and white flowers make gorgeous birthday centerpieces that Alice would definitely approve of.

• In a nod to her arrangement of Roses for Bella's birthday party, arrange roses in a big crystal vase as a main table centerpiece for guests to enjoy.
• You can even create a mixture of corn syrup and red food dye to run around the edge of the vase's opening. Apply liberally until a few rivulets of faux blood run down the side of the vase - just make sure Jasper isn't around.
