We Are Having a Murder Mystery Dinner
 

at our church in a couple of weeks and I need help with the decoration ideas.'

The Title is " A KNIGHT OF MURDER" and I need ideas for table settings with a medieval theme.

We have been to Medieval Times in Dallas and in Ontario Canada and they didn't really have "table settings", so not sure as what to do.

Any ideas?

Well, I think you could start with lots of whole chickens... throw in some turkey drumsticks, grapes etc.

Perhaps some clay pitchers full of grape juice (or wine :) )

Can I come and be a court jester?

The "Holy Ghost" spoke to me and said that you'd be the first one to reply. :ursofunny

Thanks.

Here's our menu......

soup--chicken broth
bread sticks
herbed baked chicken
broasted potatoes
some kind of dessert

tea
coffee
soda


fruit


So you were pretty close to the money on that one. :friend

I would use some crude looking wrought iron fireplace tongs to serve up the food. Use wooden platters if you can find some.

You can light the tables with "torches" - just cut off those garden torches and paint them black.

I'm really excited about this. We have 9 visitors coming for this. I'm trying to do some different things.

We had some people gripping about it today, and I almost let it hurt my feelings, and finally decided "Rain on them and the parade they rode in on!!!" I'm at least trying to reach out and help and make it fun in the process.



BTW, good idea about fireplace tongs..

Do you mean "tiki" torches?

LC - some people would complain if Jesus himself were throwing the party!

You did a great job of not letting it get to you.

yes. they are cheap too. Cut the stems about 12" long and use a little scrap steel to wrap around them for holders.
