The long wait for the release of New Moon was finally over last night! Kristie, Melanie, Megan and I had so much fun planning and putting on this party! I love all the fun little details...it was awesome! We were sad that a lof of our friends couldn't make it because of the stake leadership training that night...but I know they were with us in spirit! Most of them met up with us at the theater...some went to the big newport though...anyway... We had so much fun waiting in line for the movie and the movie definitely did not disappoint! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!! (I wish they'd remake Twilight!) We even got interviewed by an aspiring broadcast journalist about our homemade t-shirts...if she ever sends the link to the youtube video, I'll post it!
I never thought I'd say this (because I LOVED Edward in the books)...but through this whole process of planning the party and rediscovering New Moon, I realized that I LOVE JACOB! There were a few times in the movie that I seriously started to cry -- teary eyes -- and my heart was just aching for Jacob!!!!!!! But...ultimately I am happy he didn't end up with Bella -- he deserves so much better! Ha, ha!
I never got a picture of my t-shirt...but here is what was on the back...I found it somewhere online and was laughing so hard I knew had to use it for my shirt!!!!!
The front of my shirt said, "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?"
Now, for pictures of the party!!!!

The party planners! (L-R, Me, Kristie, Megan and Melanie - our gracious hostess!) I helped design Kristie's and Megan's t-shirts...Kristie's says "Edward Prefers Brunettes" and Megan's says, "I run with the wolves" -- Melanie's neighbor did hers, and it has a kind of stick figure lamb jumping off a cliff and says "Stupid Lamb" -- So cool!
our fun sign-post...Melanie actually found out the exact mileage from Fountain Valley to those locations...we thought it was pretty cool!
our first guests arrive... Erica is putting on the final touches... They had the coolest glitter spray and looked so sparkly!!!!

Our t-shirt contest finalists: Maddison and Barbara -- Maddie won! Her prize was the New Moon Movie poster...which I think she already had...oh well!
Some of us waiting in line at the movie...(L-R: back, Tracy, Edie, Me, Kim, Julie, Kristie, Melanie, Jessica. front, Julie and Melissa.)
We actually had about 17 people in our group...it was awesome! And we scored on good seats because Kim's cousin got in line at like 11am - so when Kim and Edie showed up they got in line with Kim's cousin - like 14 people back! Then when they got in the theater, they saved us seats...it didn't make other people very happy, but it all worked out in the end!!! So, even though I was ticked off at first that they didn't stand in line with us...(I just wanted them with us b/c they are so fun!)...it was really nice to have that advantage and to have them save us seats. Thanks for all the fun times ladies! Can't wait for Eclipse next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish my friends and I were as hard core. Everything was so cute!!! I'll see New Moon tonight when we get together for dinner and a movie. Watching all your fun is making me even more excited!
It looks like so much fun. I wish I could have come. BobbiAnn had a great time.
Wasn't the movie just the best?
What a rockin' party! I love the treats and the shirts and the prizes and the decorations. The movie was pretty great too!
You and your friends are just too much fun. I saw the movie last night too and loved it (so much better than Twilight), but then I have always been team Jacob before any of the movies came out. Looks like you guys had a blast.
I knew that would be a whale of a party! Good job on the coordinating! I was sorry to miss it. I LOVED this movie though! I think there was a collective nationwide cheer at how good it was. Yay!
This post definitely makes me miss you and all the bunco babes! Your party looks like it was a total blast. I love all the details,-from blood round the punch bowl rim to your creative tees. Nice work!
Looks like the BEST party ever!!! I am so glad you all had such a wonderful night together, wish I could have been there to laugh all night with you all. What fun!
Love the pics!!!
only 6-7 more months till the next party!!
I loved your party pics! I live in Boston, MA, and am having a New Moon party next week (even though I've already seen the movie twice)!I was wondering...how did you find/make the "ruffled tulip" pens? I have been to every arts and crafts store and can't seem to find them. Thanks for being such a Twi-hard!!
This is for the girl who asked about the ruffled tulip pens...
We bought white silk tulips from wal-mart - about $3 a stem, that had about 5 flowers on it. Then holding the flower upside down, I dropped 1 or 2 drops of food coloring on each petal and let it run down to the top. It bleeds really easily, so be careful because it will make a mess! Then we let them dry, and then wrapped them onto pens with floral tape. Then we cut the edges of each petal to give it that feathery look. Sounds kind of complicated but it actually was really easy and quick.
Have fun!
I wish I was there to go to your party!
