This party theme allows for multiple costume possibilities because not only does it cover crime scene investigators, but it also can include police officers, FBI agents, medical examiners, etc.

Invitation Ideas:
Cut out mini file folders from manila file folders. Write/type “CONFIDENTIAL: Case File # ______" on the front. Enter party information on the inside.

Costume Ideas:
- Police Officer
- Coroner
- Medical Examiner
- Crime Scene Investigator
- Lab Technician
- Criminal
- Victim

Prop Ideas:
- Caution Tape - Use inside in selected crime scene areas and the outside entrance to the party site.
- Chalk outline - Make several "victim" chalk outlines on the walkway and front porch/entrance of the party site. Use masking tape to create a “chalk” outline of a person on your carpet.
- Ransom note - Cut out words and letters from magazines to create a fake ransom notes.
- Magnifying glass
- Make up fake Crime Scene Investigator badges for guests to wear.
- Test tubes and beakers - Test tubes can be used to hold shots (make sure you have a place for your guests to set down the test tubes after they take the shot).
- Serve your refreshments from heavy cookie sheets (lab trays) and pour drinks from white plastic lab solution bottles.
- Fake body parts
- Fake blood - Dye white corn syrup with red food coloring and just a touch of blue.
- “Trace Evidence” - Place pieces of thread/fibers, hair or bugs in small clear jars/containers/zipper bags.
- Fingerprints - We pressed our fingers on an ink pad and then pressed them on the sticky side of clear tape. We were able to then put the “fingerprints” wherever we wanted and it was easy to clean up as well.
- Handcuffs
- Microscope
- Fake mug shots
- Latex gloves
- Fake police reports
- Have CSI playing in the background on every DVD in the house throughout the party.

Hope these ideas help you! Go for it and have fun!!!
