Planning for a Murder Mystery Birthday Party
The key to a good murder mystery birthday party whether it is for a teen or adult is planning. The murder,
the clues and the accomplices must all be planned well in advance. If you are hosting a murder mystery dinner party for instance, you must know during which course the actual event
will take place.

Teen Murder Mystery Parties
If you are having a teen party and plan to have a surprise murder mystery, you should keep in mind that if there are more than a few adults milling around the teen will get instantly suspicious. It might be better, more shocking and therefore a bigger, better surprise, if you can enlist one of their own friends to help you pull this off.
Invitation Ideas
If you are not going to use the element of surprise, then make sure everyone knows what is going on before hand. The invitation should say that there will be a murder mystery to solve during the evening.
Decorations for a Mystery Birthday Party
Decorate part of the room as a normal birthday party, and then add some forensic lab touches in another area if you would like. Remember though, the main goal and theme here are the actual mystery, so make sure that you do not waste time and energy focusing on the window dressing.
