Hosting A Murder Mystery Party

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.

Once you have done everything else, just start to prepare everything for the main event. Put out the decorations and the tables, and greet your guests. It is not that hard to throw a murder mystery party, but it does take some creative planning. doing the legwork beforehand will ensure your enjoyment, as well as your guests'.
