Twilight Obsessed

Breaking Dawn part 2, the last movie in the Twilight Saga, was released on blue-ray the beginning of March. So, I decided to host a DVD viewing party. There had been a couple of parties over the last couple of years so I had quite a few resources for planning. Almost all the decorations were provided by my friend Shawna. She is an expert party planner, in my opinion, and already had things left over from before. She has every movie poster, except the last one. I was lucky enough to have one practically fall into my lap. One of the stores had a deal where I you bought the movie you could get a free poster along with some other things. Well, my hubby had already graciously purchased the movie, so I asked how much just the poster was. The worker told me to just take it, I could just have it. Awesome!

So for a couple of days I put a cake together that I thought could represent all of the books and movies. It was by far the most difficult cake I had attempted. I think it turned out pretty well though.

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, I gathered some things together for some games. There was a character matching game as well as a power matching game.

I provided mushroom ravioli, vampire blood punch, and the red velvet cake. Everyone who came brought Twilight themed side dishes. Everything tasted great and it was a lot of fun.

At the end of the evening, my friend Edie gave me the swan and rose as a thank you. That was so awesome. We invaded her house and she thanked me for it. I am grateful for all her help with the set up and location.

Here are a few pics of the set up.
