Super sleuths at the ready.

#9 Top Tips for  Throwing a Surprise Party

1. Start planning and make a budget.   

2. Consider who's on your guest list.

3. Choose a date, time, and place. Throw the party in your backyard and save $$$
   

4. Decide on a party theme.
   

5. Invite your guests discreetly. Let them know it’s a SURPRISE.
   

6. Enlist a chaperone to escort the guest of honour to your place at the appointed time. Designate someone to video the big “surprise!!” moment.
   

7. Plan your decorations, party hire (like a laser tag set) and party food.  
   

8. Get everyone to your place at the appointed time (make sure it’s at least 20-30 minutes earlier than the guest of honour is due to arrive).
   

9. Then it's drum roll, confetti & surprise!

Don't Spoil the Surprise!

PARKING: Ask your guests to park around the corner or down the street. Nothing gives away a surprise party like heaps of friends' cars in front of your house!

INVITES: Make sure you invite everyone. 

There is nothing worse than missing your guest of honour's BFF, dear friend or loved one. Leave no stone unturned to hunt down the perfect guest list, so no one is missing from the event.

GUEST OF HONOUR: Make sure your guest of honour likes surprises. Some people hate surprises!

More Tips to Create a Thrilling Surprise Party

One of the best things about a surprise party is it can be an inexpensive way to make a big impact with a party.

Rent, borrow, or shop from the bargain store for party decorations.

For example if you are going for an army party theme, then you can rent camo nets, camo tablecloths, and even camo bunting.

Balloons, streamers, and party plates are all great, inexpensive ideas.

Here's another idea: You could ask the guests to potluck or bring a plate of food or bring their own drinks out instead of bringing a gift.
