Roaring 20s Murder Mystery Dinner

[Girl Friday]

Cool. Now that sounds like fun!

Toby does WWII, late 1800's and Vietnam. We will be going to Ft. Concho next month, I believe that is consider more Indian Wars stuff (the clothes are not nearly as flattering for women! ) I've done Civil War to late 1800's and 40's.

He does look like Dennis Quaid.

Well, we had so much fun last year, we had a 2nd annual murder mystery last Saturday night. We had several of the same people attend, as well as a few new ones. Everyone looked great and it was a lot of fun! We have moved since last year, and now have a garage. My husband transformed it into a speakeasy. We had whiskey barrels and wood planks for the bar, several old tables, and 20s music playing.

Everyone looks fabulous!!!!! What a great idea. Now you will have to keep topping your self every year. I can see it now the 40th annual Murder Mystery Dinner

So we had our 3rd annual Murder Mystery party last Saturday. It was so much fun! We moved to a new house, so no garage speakeasy, but we did a few new things too.

We have no furniture in our dining room yet, so we made that into a theater. My mother-in-law has a video projector, so we played silent movies.

I made a couple walls of "celebrity" autographs for those who had visited the club

We did mugshots of everyone since we were all suspects! After I saw the pictures, I wish I had thought to put a height chart on the wall behind us- well maybe next year

Girl Friday was our cigarette girl! She did a fabulous job with it!

And here's a group photo of everyone and one of me and Les

Looking great, as ever, Texasgirl! The dress and cloche obviously went perfectly together - love those rich colours. And there are some fantastic ideas there - makes me want to go right out and throw a party just like it!

This gives a great idea for those of us that want to do something special and fun!!

Thanks Mojito and RBH! It really was a lot of fun. Saw some of our friends at a Cowboy game dinner party the other night and they were still talking about it!

Just for reference, here's a couple of the sites I've used for the materials. The kits are very comprehensive with everything from name tags, to fake money, to award certificates- they give you everything you need and detailed instructions!
