Clue dinner party

This year, my friend Sarah wanted to celebrate her birthday by throwing a Clue themed dinner party at her place...I love her! There were 6 of us in attendance, and we were all assigned a character to come dressed as. I donned a red shirt, red lipstick, and all the sparkly jewels I could find to portray Miss Scarlet. Colleen was Mr. Green, Hilarie as Professor Plum, Mary as Colonel Mustard, Heather as Miss White, and the guest of honor as Mrs. Peacock.

Sarah, of course, out did herself preparing and setting up for the night. She had props for our characters (smoking pipe, feather duster) as well as all the murder weapons (revolver, knife, candlestick, rope, lead pipe, wrench). The dinner table was set using cards from the board game as our name cards, how cute?! There was an outline of the dead body on the floor (flipping us the bird), and even her pets Finley and Mia were dressed for the occasion.

After dinner, which was delicious - flatbread pizzas, salad, and pumpkin macaroni and cheese, we played a game of Clue. The game was much more fun than I remember from when I was little and tried to play by myself (only child problems...). It was also a lot more difficult. Heather was our big winner exposing that it was Professor Plum with the revolver! Hilarie and Sarah reenacted the horrific murder scene for us.

We finished the night off with cupcakes that Heather made (so good!), and watched the movie Clue (yes, there's a movie). It was such a fun night, thanks to Sarah for planning it all, and happy birthday!

happy birthday!
