Eclipse Party

Every year Jenne, Kathy and I plan a Twilight party. We rent a theater, hold a raffle and give out a ton of prizes. Not to mention we get to preview the newest Twilight Saga movie, with all of our closest friends, a day before it actually comes out! Now I don't want to break my arm patting myself on the back or anything... but after 3 years of doing this, we're getting pretty good :) We had a ton of fun planning and executing this years Eclipse Event, and we hope everyone else had as much fun as we did.
One of the coolest parts of the experience, which totally made everyone feel like true VIP's, was that while other groups had been lining up hours before the midnight premier showing (some had been camped out for more than 24 hrs), we were able to skate right past them in line and move directly into our Private Theater, for our own Private Showing, several hours ahead of the publics schedule. Can anyone say SWEET!

Come on in ladies... We're ready for ya :)
We emailed out an Eclipse quiz a couple of weeks before the movie, to test the ladies knowledge of the book. Those that participated were handsomely rewarded with prizes. We had hats, fleece blankets, the soundtrack, Eclipse candies, books, and much much more.
One of my favorite prizes was rewarded to the "Worst Quiz Taker" with the most answers wrong. Her prize was the Eclipse book because she definitely needed to read it again. To make the prize super cute we covered her book with this.
After we gave out all of our quiz prizes we moved onto raffle prizes. We had a ton of really cool stuff to raffle off this year because of donations and all of the raffle ticket sales. A few of my favorites were a set of 4 Twilight books, signed by Stephanie Meyer, an Eclipse cake made by Wendi Despain, a spa package which included a pedicure, manicure and a facial, and an Eclipse bag made by Jenne, Kathy and I.
Once all of the fun and games were over and after a Summit Security guard threatened us with our lives and practically strip searched everyone for hidden recording devices... It was finally SHOWTIME!
Here's a few of the News guys waiting outside of our theater to be the first to ask all of the ladies how they liked the movie.
Friends
After the movie we took our cake and and a few friends over to Jenne's house for a little after party.
Thanks for all of the fun ladies. And a big thanks to Jenne for taking a ton of pictures at our event this year.
See ya all in November 2011 :)
