the hosts:
edward and i? we really know how to throw a party.i made bloody cupcakes:
(red velvet)
we had several different blood types,
to cater to different tastes:
(A and O neg, and B positive)
the food table:
friends brought so many treatswe couldn't possibly eat them all:
a yummy cheese ball,cheesecake parfaits (jenn, send recipe please!),
red vines,
milk duds,
chocolate-covered pretzels,
chocolate waffle cookies,
caramel popcorn...
maci and michelle even came
dressed appropriately:
okay, okay, so it wasn't really edward and i planning the party.just me
(but you totally believed me, right?)
but my friend misty had bought this edward cut-out
for her sister's birthday
and was kind enough to bring it for the party.
he scared each one of us at some point.
walking into the other room to get treats,
we just didn't expect a pale dude looking at us.
i got a few pictures of other friends with edward.
here's tori:
and here's dana(who postponed her family spring break trip so she could come):
the group:
(notice my red eyes...maybe i really am a vampire?!)
(left to right: jenn, misty, dana, maci, dana, edward, michelle, erin (holding heber) and me.)
we started the movie around 8:00 when it was just getting dark,and turned out all the lights.
about 9 of the 15 people i invited came,
which worked out great because everyone had a seat.
until tori showed up late
(and then she had to sit on the floor--sorry dude).
it was seriously fun. we ate, talked, laughed, even made fun of the movie a little.
we're totally going to do it again--not for twilight, just for something else to watch.
it worked out great to do it in my condo's clubhouse.
that way i didn't have to kick husband and the kids out for the night,
and we could be loud and crazy.
******
i wish now i had waited a week,
because hwtm (where i got the drink labels from)
did her own party this weekend,
and had lots more downloads and ideas.
i actually had the idea to frame movie quotes
but my printer ran out of ink
from printing the drink labels.
ah well.
to see more of her ideas (and amazing pictures), click here.
the best part? total cost for the party: $14.37.
now that's entertaining.

I'm not gunna lie.
I teared up a bit reading this post.
I miss you guys.
{sigh.}
So fun. Next time can I come?
YES Jen. I'm sorry I didn't send an invite! I posted it on the blog but I should have called. So sorry.
This looks like so much fun! I think it would be fun to see what other types of movies you can do. I'm glad you had a great time and you can't beat 14 bucks!
I feel like Emilie! That looked so fun! I miss you all and I so wish i could have been there too! And seriously $14! You are amazing!
emily,
if you email me your email address, i'll send you my group pic. or i guess i could just post it on my blog. hmmm, maybe i'll do that. but if i don't get to it, email me! danasudweeks@yahoo.com
i LOVED the party, by the way!
I think I am jealous. It looks like so much fun!
wow, that is so seriously awesome in so many ways!!! makes me feel like utah is calling my name!!
Nice work dude! That looks like a really great party.
I'm so jealous! That looked like so much fun! Tone had to give a little speech at the mish reunion or we could have ditched! I think we should do another one before New Moon though really :) I love how cute you are with all your Twilight treats too! It looked awesome!
You are a great host! What a fun party! I bet that Edward poster is part of your new bedroom decor, huh? ;)
Nice. I love theme parties!!
When I first looked at that picture of Dana, I was trying to figure out why she was tugging down her pants to show Edward her underwear but I'm guessing it's just the picture. That's her shirt, right?
stacy, yes, and it's blurry, and she wasn't posed yet. I probably shouldn't have posted it but it was the only one I had.
Wow! Looks like it was a blast!
You had Milk Duds there? Dang, I wish I had been invited! Just kidding, but seriously if you do it again I am so there.
Oh man people, you all WERE invited! That's why I put up the invite on my blog! Darn it, I should've made it more clear.
Oh so fun, and I can't believe how tall Edward is...I hope he was a nice guest though.
HOw fun! Wish I could have been there.
Minus the Edward thing..yeah he's just NOT HOT! Sorry..they could have done better.
But your party looks so fun!
It was really fun. I can't wait for the next one. Do you need help or ideas?
Awesome party, horrible theme. hehe Sorry, I just don't get it! That picture of them in the tree is hilarious though! Can you do Pride and Prejudice next time? I'll fly out :)
oh man jenny, that's GENIUS.
YEAH, i want to come to that one
oh yeah, it was 14.37 plus that $40 ink cartridge you have to now replace :)
I am so impressed!!! I wish I were able to come! I might just have to throw a party like this. Hummmm.....
looks like a "bloody" good time!
heh heh, good one lynette.
That was SO SO fun!! Thanks for being a {great} host! ;)
