My hubby's birthday is in February and I wanted to make it special. I was talking to one of our friends in early January, and he mentioned going to a murder mystery party in December. As soon as he mentioned it, I knew that I wanted to throw a surprise murder mystery party for my hubby!
I had never to been to a murder mystery before, but I had always wanted to try one. They looked like so much fun! After reading the rave reviews here, I decided to purchase the Four Deuces teen version. I knew it would be tricky planning as well as attending my first murder mystery party. The other tricky part would be keeping all of this from my husband.
I purchased the game in early January, so I gave my self a month to plan everything. I sent out invitations right away to 17 of our friends. I almost invited a few more because I was sure some people wouldn't be able to come (we had four pregnant ladies in attendance!). Wow! It's a good thing I didn't, EVERYONE RSV'd that they'd be there!
I am amazed hubby didn't figure out what I was up to. I kept a notebook near our computer desk so I could jot down ideas as they came to me. I decided early on that I wanted a black, white and red theme. I perused the stores every time I went shopping for black, white and red inspirations. I had trouble falling asleep several nights because I was so excited and ideas kept hitting me. I would have to scurry over to my notebook and jot down the idea before my brain would let me sleep
