These days, staying in and hosting your own parties is much more preferable than going out, and people are extending the fun and games by hosting themed parties. One theme that is growing in popularity is the murder mystery, where guests dress up and assume the characters provided by the hosts.

While it takes some planning, it's far easier than you might think. It’s easy to purchase a ready-made murder mystery party pack where much of the hard work is already done for you. If you want to push the boundaries and make it bigger and better, then you can also hire the services of an event planner. This way, you’ll be able to participate in the fun and games too, without knowing ‘whodunit’. To do this, you’ll have to consider the number of guests, and this might be limited in respect of available space at home.

The third option available is to create the whole murder mystery yourself from start to finish. This enables you to run wild with your imagination, creating the either blood-thirsty or deeply mysterious event that you feel will best suit the night/guests. It takes a creative brain, but can be a lot of fun, and it enables you to be involved in the mystery from its conception, right through to the event planning process.

It’s also important to consider that each guest is crucial to the party’s success, as there will be a specific number of characters required to make the event flow. In addition, consider who will be on your guest list, as you will need people who are willing to get into character so to make your party evening a success.

When it comes to planning the event, you need party invitations that are unique and aesthetically pleasing. The design is very important but you’ll also need to consider the words, as each completed invite must capture the essence of the theme and the interest of your potential guests, inspiring them to say yes.
