Dinner Party Ideas:  According to our experts, the dinner party originated in London in the late 1800's and was then brought to the United States in the Early 1900's.  The inventor of the dinner party was none other than Andrew Von Dinner. He was convinced that food wasn't something you eat, but something to enjoy with friends. He was always trying to innovate his event by coming up with new dinner party ideas as his guests had come to expect a production when attending an event at the Von Dinner Estate. He loved to serve his meals on Corelle his favorite kitchen dinnerware. Fast forward to 2005, a crew member sold a murder mystery party to a distant relative of Andrew Von Dinner, his grand daughter,  Angie Dinner. She was quoted after the event as saying "My grandfather would have been honored to have had a murder mystery party created by the crew at murder mystery maniacs!" It was that day that we realized we had a long tradition of entertainers to uphold, respect, and honor.
