Calling all Twihards! Planning a Twilight movie marathon with your friends but want to spice things up? Most Twilight drinking games out there just give you basic rules, but we’re going beyond. This ultimate guide is packed with creative drinking rules for every cringe-worthy, swoon-inducing moment, plus we’ve got themed cocktail recipes, DIY decoration ideas, and even a “Team Edward vs. Team Jacob” scorecard to turn your night into a full-blown Forks showdown. Get ready for a Twilight movie drinking game experience that’s even more entertaining (and tipsy) than you remember.
I. Game Setup
Before you transform your living room into a Twilight-themed party, let’s get you prepped for this epic movie marathon. You’ll need all five installments of the Twilight Saga – Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and Breaking Dawn – Part 2 – because one movie just isn’t enough to capture all the gloriously awkward moments (and let’s be honest, there are a lot). Stock up on drinks: beer and wine are classics, but feel free to get creative with themed cocktails. (We’ve got some bloody good recipes coming up). Don’t forget your Twihard squad – what’s a drinking game without some good company? And while you’re at it, grab some themed snacks – think “blood”-red dips, sparkly cupcakes (vampires, duh!), or anything that screams Forks. But most importantly, drink responsibly! This immersive experience is a marathon, not a sprint.
II. Twilight Drinking Game Rules
Alright, let’s get down to business. These are the drinking rules, carefully categorized to help you control the chaos.
Sip:
- Every time Bella says “Edward” (trust me, this happens a LOT, so pace yourself).
- Every time Edward sparkles menacingly in the sunlight.
- Any time Bella stares dreamily into the distance (bonus sip if it’s at Edward).
- Whenever someone mentions how pale someone else is.
- Every time Bella touches her hair.
- When Charlie Swan looks uncomfortable (which is basically always).
- Whenever someone slams a car door (they love dramatic exits in Forks).
- Any time someone says “vampire” or “werewolf.”
- If Bella trips or stumbles (bonus sip if Edward has to catch her… again).
- When Edward gives Bella his signature “crooked” smile.
- Every time Alice has a vision of the future.
- Whenever Rosalie throws shade at Bella.
- When Emmett cracks a joke (bonus sip if it’s actually funny).
- Any time someone mentions Forks, Washington.
- If Bella rolls her eyes at something.
- When Edward uses his vampire super speed.
- Every time someone talks about how beautiful Edward is.
- If Bella bites her lip.
- When a character uses a payphone (because apparently cell phones don’t exist in Forks).
- Whenever anyone mentions “vegetarian” vampires.
- Every time Bella’s truck is shown on screen.
- If someone talks about how good Edward smells.
- Whenever Edward acts possessive of Bella.
- Every time someone mentions high school.
Two Sips:
- When Edward reads Bella’s mind (creepy, but drink-worthy).
- Any time a vampire uses their special abilities (super speed, mind reading, etc.).
- If someone refers to Edward as a “monster.”
- When Bella and Edward have an awkward, silent staring contest (it’s their love language, apparently).
- Every time someone mentions Bella’s clumsiness.
- If Jacob flexes his muscles (bonus sips if he’s shirtless).
- When a character makes a bad decision (Bella, I’m looking at you).
- If anyone talks about the Cullens being “vegetarian” vampires.
- Whenever you see a flashback to Edward’s human life.
- When someone is unexpectedly killed (RIP, random hikers).
- If a character gives a heartfelt speech about love or destiny.
- Any time Bella calls her parents by their first names (Charlie and Renée).
- When Edward gives Bella a lavish gift (a car, a piano… you know, normal teenage boyfriend stuff).
- Every time Alice and Jasper share a knowing look (they’re the real power couple).
- If the Cullens play baseball (because vampires need hobbies too).
Finish Your Drink:
- During any epic fight scene (vampire vs. werewolf, vampire vs. vampire, you get the idea).
- If someone mentions the Volturi (those scary vampire royalty folks).
- When Bella and Edward finally kiss (it only took a whole movie, folks).
- If someone proposes marriage (hint: there might be more than one).
- During the prom scene in Twilight (extra points if you try to dance like them).
- When Bella becomes a vampire (finally!).
- Any time a major character dies (RIP…).
- During the final battle scene in Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
- If Edward removes his shirt (because, hey, you earned it!).
- If Bella and Edward have a serious argument (teen angst alert).
Remember, you don’t have to use all the rules – pick and choose your favorites, and feel free to get creative and add your own. It’s your drinking game, make it your own!
III. Tips for a Successful Twilight Drinking Game Night
1. “Bella’s Blood Orange Margarita” Recipe
Bella Swan might be clumsy, but this margarita is anything but. It’s blood orange red (just like a certain vampire’s favorite drink), perfectly tart, and guaranteed to make your Twilight drinking game even more delicious.
Recipe:
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Cointreau
- 1.5 oz Blood Orange Juice
- 0.5 oz Lime Juice
- Agave Nectar to Taste
- Salt for Rim (optional)
Instructions: Combine all ingredients (except salt) in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Rim a glass with salt (optional). Strain into the glass over ice. Garnish with a blood orange slice.
2. “Team Edward” vs. “Team Jacob” Scorecard Ideas
Up for some friendly competition? Turn your drinking game into a battle for Forks supremacy with a “Team Edward” vs. “Team Jacob” scorecard. May the best supernatural heartthrob win!
- Scorecard: Create a simple table with columns for “Team Edward” and “Team Jacob.” Add rows for each movie.
- Rules: Each time a rule is triggered that favors Edward (e.g., “Edward sparkles”) Team Edward gets a point. Same for Jacob (e.g., “Jacob takes his shirt off”).
- Competition: Tally up the points after each movie, or keep a running total throughout the entire saga. The team with the most points at the end wins!
3. DIY Decoration Tutorials Using Twilight-inspired Elements
Transform your space into Forks with a few easy DIY decorations. A little creativity can go a long way in creating a more immersive Twilight drinking game experience!
- Fake Moss Table Runner: Bring the forests of Forks to your living room with a DIY moss table runner. Simply spread faux moss down the center of your table for a touch of woodsy charm. Bonus points if you add some battery-operated fairy lights for an ethereal glow.
- Paper Plate Moon: Recreate the iconic Twilight moon with a simple paper plate craft. Paint a paper plate black, then cut out a crescent moon shape. Attach it to your wall with tape or tacks. For an extra spooky effect, paint some eerie trees on the plate before cutting out the moon.
- Twinkle Light Backdrop: Create a magical, sparkly atmosphere (just like Edward in the sunlight!) by hanging some twinkle lights as a backdrop. Drape them behind your TV or across a wall to set the mood for your vampire-themed movie night.
