It's day 4 guys! Can you believe how close we are to Eclipse, only 4 more days!!! I can't wait I'm so excited and also tomorrow (Saturday) is Twilight Night(if you're in one of the participating cities) St.Louis was picked as one of those cities and when I found out I flipped! So tomorrow I am going to do my first vlog and it will be from Twilight Night! I hope I can snag some cool goodies while I'm there, they say they're going to have activities so we aren't bored the movie starts! OK now on to what I'm suppose to be blogging about which, is party decorations! For my decor I'm trying not to go overboard to much so that I don't break the bank for this one party but I do have some really cool ideas if you want to spend a little more. One thing that I really wanted to get were the cardboard cutouts of Edward, Bella, Jacob, and Alice but my parents (cuz I'm broke) wouldn't buy any of them. You can find them at several places though including
allposters.com and
nordstrom.com.
Hostess with the Mostess has some pretty neat printables that can be used for different things and they're another thing that would have loved to use but unless I convince my dad to buy new ink I can't use them :( If you do print out the quotes though but don't want to buy a bunch of frames to put them an easy solution is to buy black cardboard it's kind of like poster board but thicker and can be found at most craft stores. Just buy some of that and then cut out and glue the pieces together to make you're own frames.

Stores also have their Eclipse tableware out now! I got mine at
Party City but you can also by most products at Paper Factory Warehouse, Target, And iParty. Call your store ahead of time though to make sure they have what you want in stock. If you don't use the Eclipse table cover that is sold too use a black, red, or white one, I have a black one which will help draw attention to the tableware and not the table cover.

I'm going to decorate with red, black, and white crepe paper streams too and I'm going to have 4 big posters with the Quileute wolf symbol and the Cullen crest hung on the on the front porch and in the family room. I also wanted to get white slip covers to put on the couches in the family room then make black and red pillow slipcovers but again I can't do that because I don't have money so I'm going to find a way to improvise. Twinkle lights are also a must for any Twilight party! If you can recall any of Alice's parties she always has twinkle lights. If you don't already have a set or two stored away with your Christmas decorations you can get them from
Amazon at a reasonable price. Candles is another thing that Alice uses at her parties and is a real easy thing to get a hold of. You don't need a ton of them but having 3 or 4 around (especially on you're main table) will add a nice touch. Alright I think I'm done with decor now and I hope some of these ideas come in handy for your next Twilight party!
Tomorrow I don't know if I'll blog. I probably will but if I don't have one done by 11pm you won't be getting anything because I have to get up really early!
Have an awesome Friday!
