The New Wave in Party Hosting- Murder Mysteries

By Carol Ann

Having a murder mystery may sound like a good idea, but sometimes getting started can be half the battle. Sure you know who you will invite and now you have a theme, but making it come together can get a bit more tricky. Planning is truly the key to pulling off this type of party, and you will find that the more planning you do, the better the party will come off.

Locating a good murder mystery game is the first thing to do. You can find them online, but be sure to read through the whole thing. Upon inviting your guests, let them know what the theme is and the exacts on date and time. Hold off assigning you characters until you have a solid RSVP list.

You may choose to decorate according to the theme, or not. It will definitely add to the ambiance. Make sure to pan the menu accordingly, people will be moving around, so finger food is best. Pot luck is a good way to go the non stress way.

At about two weeks before the party, start putting together the character envelopes and assigning the characters. Go in to as much detail as you can to allow your guests to fully dress and prepare for the part.

Lastly, get everything in place. Decorate, if you have chosen to do so, and set up a buffet table for your guests. Then just answer the door and have a great time. Having a murder mystery party doesn't have to be difficult, however, it does need to be planned out. Doing all the work well in advance will ensure that you and your guests are relaxed and ready to have fun. - 2361
