I&#8217;m happy to help!<\/p>\n<h4>Research Your Theme<\/h4>\n<p>If you are<br \/>\n\t\t  planning a party that is set in a particular historical era or geographical<br \/>\n\t\t  location, doing a little bit of research can make your party that much more<br \/>\n\t\t  authentic.\u00a0 Use online resources to find out a little bit about how people<br \/>\n\t\t  talked during the era in which your party is set, what sort of clothes they<br \/>\n\t\t  wore, what food they ate and what sort of music they listened to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use your research in your menu, decor and conversation.<\/strong> Adding in<br \/>\n\t\t  a few small touches (like having a period-appropriate menu for a medieval<br \/>\n\t\t  mystery, or handing out a cheat sheet of &#8217;20s slang for a prohibition era<br \/>\n\t\t  party) will really make your party stand out!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span>Invite Your Guests<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You will need a certain number of<br \/>\n  confirmed participants in order for your party to run properly, and your<br \/>\n  guests will need enough time to prepare themselves for the event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"party-options\">\n<div class=\"party-option-details\">\n<h4><span>Guest List<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Make sure<br \/>\n\t\t  that you have enough people for the party you\u2019ve chosen, and that you have<br \/>\n\t\t  some backup plans in place in case someone has to cancel.\u00a0 It\u2019s usually a<br \/>\n\t\t  good idea to confirm attendance with your prospective guests in advance, and<br \/>\n\t\t  then send them their formal invitation once you already know that they are<br \/>\n\t\t  interested in attending.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Invitations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Give your guests a few weeks notice.<\/strong> No<br \/>\n\t\t  one likes to feel rushed \u2013 try to get your invitations (and character sheets<br \/>\n\t\t  if applicable) out to your guests at least 2-4 weeks<br \/>\n\t\t  in advance of the party.\u00a0 If you are issuing formal invitations and<br \/>\n\t\t  requesting RSVPs, set the RSVP date no later than two<br \/>\n\t\t  weeks in advance of the party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell guests to keep their secrets.<\/strong> Make<br \/>\n\t\t  sure that your guests know that they shouldn\u2019t share details about their<br \/>\n\t\t  characters with each other before the party.\u00a0 Their characters\u2019 information<br \/>\n\t\t  and secrets should be kept private from everyone (even spouses and partners).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Decorate Your Venue<\/h3>\n<p>Prepping<br \/>\n  the party venue can make all the difference between a mystery that is a<br \/>\n  smashing success and one that is only mediocre.\u00a0 Layout your space in advance<br \/>\n  and make sure that you have all of the props, decorations and audio that you<br \/>\n  need.<\/p>\n<div class=\"party-options\">\n<div class=\"party-option-details\">\n<h4><span>Layout<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Choose which room or rooms will be used.<\/strong> Many<br \/>\n\t\t  mystery parties involve multiple areas (for example, one room might need to<br \/>\n\t\t  serve as the captain\u2019s quarters of an elaborate cruise ship, while another<br \/>\n\t\t  area might need to be the main deck or the galley.)\u00a0 If your mystery involves<br \/>\n\t\t  multiple areas, decide in advance which rooms will correspond to which<br \/>\n\t\t  areas.\u00a0 Consider printing signs to help guests know exactly where they are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reserve space for scavenger hunt.<\/strong> Some<br \/>\n\t\t  parties involve scavenger hunts or clue seeking missions.\u00a0 If this is the<br \/>\n\t\t  case with your party, you should make sure to designate an area for the<br \/>\n\t\t  scavenger hunt in advance.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Props and Decorations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Props and decorations help set the scene.<\/strong> Again,<br \/>\n\t\t  small touches make all the difference when it comes to decorating your<br \/>\n\t\t  venue.\u00a0 While no one will ever expect that you transform your home, office or<br \/>\n\t\t  apartment into a fully functional casino, a festive beach or a creepy<br \/>\n\t\t  mansion, a handful of props or decorations (like roulette wheel cutouts for a<br \/>\n\t\t  casino, tiki torches for a beach party or fake cobwebs and hanging bats for a<br \/>\n\t\t  haunted mansion) can really help convey the proper atmosphere and mood to<br \/>\n\t\t  your guests.<\/p>\n<p>A good party kit should come with suggestions for decorations<br \/>\n\t\t  and props, and you can usually find a wide variety of appropriately themed<br \/>\n\t\t  and inexpensive decorations at party supply stores.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"photo-column\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/content\/murder-mystery-party-props.jpg\" alt=\"Game props.
