Dexter / Six Feet Under Themed Experience

Everyone suitably dressed in black for the evening.

44 guests attended and loved it.

Similar to a ‘Fun House‘ at a Fair, this concept was borne from a love of the intensely detailed aesthetic of (Showtime’s) Dexter and (HBO’s) Six Feet Under.

Stemming from the style prescribed by the aforementioned, Katy contributed all: thematic concept, set-pieces, refreshments, set dressing, and print design.

Each invitee received a toe-tag which listed the details of the party. This was accompanied by a letter of condolence and instructions on how to prepare the body for intake.

Upon arrival, guests entered through crime scene tape into a room cocooned in plastic. Following check in,  toe-tags were affixed (for easy identification by fellow cadavers) and disposable gloves issued – so as to not contaminate the scene.

All food and drink was coloured red (like blood) and topped off with a bleeding cake.

Each invitation was merged through Microsoft Word and painstakingly (but lovingly) printed, cut, perforated, threaded, sealed and delivered.
