The girls made me pinkie promise that I was not secretly the thief. To decorate the area where the detective kits were displayed, I made a Happy Birthday banner from the pages of a Nancy Drew book. I outfitted each guest in a detective cape made by Cape Adeline.ĭetective kits included everything the guests needed to solve our mystery, including flashlights, magnifying glasses and fingerprint kits. My girls and I had so much fun finding the biggest letters we could and cutting up magazines to make the ransom note. When guests arrived, they found a ransom note left at the door with footprints leading away. Fabric strip bunting that I made in shades of yellow and gray.Large 8, which is actually an old gas station number I found on Etsy.My daughters’ initials made from white wood letters from Michaels and covered in patterned paper from the Love the Day collection.Goodwill clock that I spray painted oil rubbed bronze.This was as simple as having my local copy store blow up the cover of a Nancy Drew book. One of my favorite decorative elements is the Nancy Drew portrait that anchored the mantle. To designate the favors and detective capes areas, as well as the secret passageway, I used pennants from the Love the Day collection and added my own letters. Lana used pages from an actual Nancy Drew book to make the wreath and added a center art piece from Love the Day.įrom my local antique store, I rented a vintage typewriter, rotary phone and a typewriter case to elevate my cake stand. My wreath was made to order by Simple Joys Paperie. Since I love the Nancy Drew books of the 1950s, I went for a certain amount of patina with this party.

And once my girls started reading Magic Tree House and American Girl Doll mysteries, I realized they were ready for Nancy Drew! They immediately fell in love with the plucky heroine and, of course, my party planning wheels started turning.
