Dear Peter,
Just wanted to let you know again how fantastic my 40th birthday party was last week.
I have spoken to most of my family and friends since the party, and they have all said what a fantastic time they had, and judging by the noise level on the night it was a huge success and they are now asking what I will be organising for my 50th!!
One of the reasons I chose to have a Host a Murder for my 40th birthday party is that I had been concerned, as is usually the case when you attend a party that you don’t know anybody else, that it would be stilted. However the murder game, which I have wanted to do for years, was an ideal ice breaker, within a few minutes of starting the evening, I knew this would not be the case with my party and they will be talking about it for years to come
I asked everybody to come in fancy dress, and choose a roaring twenties theme, which complimented the game I chose. Everybody got into character and it was amazing to see how they actually turned into the character they were portraying for the night, not just at my table, but on other tables as well.
Your suggestion of The Lighthouse restaurant was ideal, and the staff could not have been more accommodating, before and during my party.
Even my requests for access during the day to decorate and converting dessert to a birthday cake for me and organising a TV & DVD player to keep the kids who where not participating entertained during the night was no problem and the food was absolutely superb.
Friends and colleagues who I had not invited on the night, are all asking about organising an event in the new year, perhaps as a fund raiser for some charity. Since it was so easy to organise for my party, I am seriously considering doing this.Enclosed are some of the photo’s of the night.
