Personally I like Taylor Jay's idea. I`ve attended quite a few release parties in my day. Unlike some other books (Harry Potter for example) there is no real costume theme in the Twilight series. The team idea allows for good natured rivalry and for those of us who are really ìnto the story to declare our allegiance....Go Team Edward!

Yes, I have been to Harry Potter release parties being one of the biggest fans (no offense to anyone) and I am a big fan of Edward but how do you dress up as alice or bella or edward if they all wear casual clothes? So the team idea may be the best! Thanks for agreeing ingrid!

The team idea is great and we used it with our trivia competition. Thank you! We added team Bella for those who can't decide between Edward and Jacob and just want Bella to be happy. There will be armbands you can wear to show your support. The costume contest is a bit more challenging than Harry Potter but I've heard some good ideas so far - chess piece, Alice in the Asylum, or Victorian vampire victim. Or just dress in way that shows your love for the books, which wearing a Team Edward t-shirt absolutely does.

I have a question: if you do plan to go along with the masquerade theme, what does a "masquerade costume" consist of? A dress and a mask? And I'm also kind of confused, you can buy the book at midnight right? You don't have to pre-order it?

well i have been to many release parties and you dont have to pre-order the book. And a masqurade is basically a dress or suit and a mask. But it can also be just dressing up as someone or something using a mask. Depends on which context its in and in this case it's either

I was wondering why you have to show I.D. DO you have to be a certain age? If so what age. Also I was making sure that you can get in the party with ought having pre-ordered the book right?

There will be music playing- we've got Stephenie Meyer's playlist ! We haven't set aside a particular spot for dancing but spontaneous dancing in the aisles would be wonderful!
You only have to show ID if you are picking up a pre-ordered book. Since it's already paid for we ask for ID to make sure the book goes to the right person. There will be lots of copies of Breaking Dawn to buy that night if you haven't pre-ordered it.
The party is open to all fans of the Twilight series, no matter how old they are. Maybe with all the excitement and neat stuff going on we might entice people just in shopping that night to try the series.

Hey, Thanks for all this help on what's going on for the pre-release parties. I think that it's an AMAZING idea, and a great opportunity for Twilight fans in the same area to get to know eachother. As for the music and dancing idea, it's a good idea as well. I was just wondering, will there be more than one prize for costumes and such? Like who looks the most like Alice, or Bella, or Rosalie...etc? Like, a certain prize for best representation of so-and-so, or will it be just one prize for best costume? Thanks again.

Hey, i was just wondering if this is gonna happen at all the Chapter stores across the country or are there different plans for each Chapter's store?

Different stores are having different events but most are staying open for the midnight release. You can check online if they are having a party then just give them a call for details.
There will be 5 or 6 prizes for costumes- the best Bella, Edward, and Jacob are 3 of them.
