Come up with creative outfits by going through your friends' and your closets. You can create fun characters by using older clothing or costumes you have. Ask your friends to do the same. Once you have figured out what you and your friends will be wearing, you'll be able to start to plot the mystery party by "naming" your friends as characters based on their outfit for the night.

Develop a plot for the party. Write down clues and other ideas to create the mystery party. The idea behind a mystery party is usually a made-up murder, followed by the guests' having to figure out who committed it by relying on different clues given throughout the night. You'll have to decide which character will be murdered, who did it and how clues will be given to the rest of the guests throughout the night.

E-mail your invitations to the party instead of mailing printed cards. This will remove the costs of purchasing stationary and postage. If you'd like to go a step above e-mail, you can use free electronic invitation services, such as evite.com, which allow you to create a free Web page for your event. Your guests can RSVP directly on the site, and there will be a current guest list of those who have accepted the invitation and will be attending your party located directly on the website.

Give your guests a piece of paper and pencil when they arrive at your party. You can use paper from old notebooks to save money. The guests will write down their clues and will be able to form their answers to the night's mystery.
