New Years Eve: Murder Mystery Dinner Party

For some reason, my family loves to dress up for parties. Last Christmas we had our first Ugly Sweater Christmas Party and it was an absolute success. The costumes were so on point we had to have another party. We first thought to dress up as famous people in history for a fun New Years Eve Party. Ryan and I planned on dressing up as Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World. Trust me, it was going to be spectacular. Then, my Mom had the brilliant idea to have a murder mystery party while eating our traditional P.F. Changs. The mystery was called "The Reading of the Will" or something like that.

It was out of control. We all just found articles of clothing out of my parents closets and put together our own character. My character was basically a tramp who slept with the duke just for his money. But instead of discussing affairs and sleeping around, we called it, "playing Tennis." hahaha it was awesome.

Ryan: Nobbs, the butler and Inspector Drake
(real mustache)

Tiffany: Roxanne, the nurse

Meagan: Trish, the maid


Jill: Mandy, Monty's wife and part-time model (haha)

David: Monty, the Duke's son
(real mustache with clip-on earrings) 

Dad: Larken, the family's Attorney
(real goatee and brown eye liner to darken)

Mom: Susan, the Duke's sister and spinster
(her poochie stomach is a shirt rolled up)

the whole group

Tiffany was the murderer!

  1. there's so much i could say...thanks for clarifying that my pooch was a rolled up shirt-makes me feel better about being the ugliest one in the group! Everytime i look at David I just have to laugh and laugh - he is such a good creeper! We will definitely have to work hard to top this one!
