St. Patrick's Murder Mystery Party

Andrew and I hosted a dinner Murder Mystery party. I had been to a murder mystery party before but had never hosted one. We had so much fun. We fit 24 people in our house; I don't know how we all fit. Everyone was assigned a character (except for me because I was the host) and came to the party dressed like their character. The mystery was separated into three rounds (appetizers/drinks, main course, and desserts) and at the beginning of each round, each player got an envelope that contained the clues necessary for their character. The clues for the characters provided everything they would need to solve the mystery. Only 4 people guessed who was the murderer. We also played a game each round and gave out prizes. The best costume also got a prize.
The dinner turned out great. Pretty much everything was green. For appetizers/drinks, we had green chips/salsa, spinach dip with mostly green veggies, green fruit dip with fruit, green salad, irish bread, green apple juice, and green slush. For dinner, we had corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots, and lasagnas. For dessert, we had mint brownies, mint chocolate chip ice cream dessert, and green ricekrispie treats. I'll post some recipes later.
Thanks so much for all of you who came to the party and for all your help with food, clean-up, etc. We had such a fun time!
