MYSTERY DINNER

Here's how it works...

Your invited guests will be given a mysterious menu from which they choose five courses. The choices remain a mystery to your guests until they are served. That's when the surprises and laughter begin!

DINNER RULES GIVEN TO GUESTS ON ARRIVAL

You will be served five courses. Each course will contain five items served in the order selected.

We insist that each course be finished before the next course is served.

Please list your selection by number. This will help speed up the service.

Cross off each number as you enter it under your selections. No numbersmay be eliminated or used more than once.

All utensils and food remnants will be removed after each course, leaving a nice, clean table for the next course. Don't worry about proper etiquette... have fun!

PLANNING TIPS

When sending out invitations, ask guests to RSVP so you will know exactly how many will be attending the Mystery Dinner.

Copy enough menus so you have one for each guest. Put each guest's name at the top of his or her menus.

Have guests place 5 ones (#1) by the first course items, 5 twos (#2) by the second course items and so on.

Plan on at least one server for every four people, because they will have to read each list separately and fix each plate differently. For example, if a guest orders numbers 5, 7, 15, 23, and 25 for the first course, he or she will be served Jell-O, a knife, a cupcake, toothpicks, and a glass of milk.

Use paper plates, cups, bowls, and inexpensive plastic utensils, because they will be discarded after each course.

Take your time when serving, your guests won't mind waiting.. everyone loves a little suspense!
