PARTY IDEA: I went to a birthday party at my friends house just recently! It was amazing! It was a mystery party for older kids( About 12 yrs.). You had to dress up as a character that you were given in your invatation. Then there were dressing ideas and you had to dress like your  charecters. Charecters were people such as rich duaghters or wives, barbers, and new people in town. When you get there you have to sit in the waiting room and a butler takes your coat(dad  or other man). After that the butler escorts you to the dining room and you have a nice dinner  by candlelight! After that you go to the main family room and you have booklets and you have  clues as to who murdered Kat E. Cualdhart. Then you figure out who is the murderer. The  winner should get a prize. After that you are free to do things such as cake, presents, ect.  DECORATIONS: nice tablecloth, champangne glasses, nice china, ect.
