Looking forward to planning a surprise birthday party for someone special to you? If you have never tried to throw a surprise party for someone before, check out the tips below to make the planning process simple and fun.
Create a Guest List in Advance and Get Those Invitations Created
Decide who you would like to invite to the surprise birthday party and then start creating invitations. You can buy invitations from the store or make your own if you are good at graphic design. Whether you make the invitations or not, you need to specify that it is a surprise party. You do not want any of your guests to make the mistake of mentioning the party to your loved one. If the guests all know it is a secret, they can avoid talking about it to the wrong person to keep the word from getting out.
Decide on an Indoor or Outdoor Venue
Choose a venue based on the weather and the number of people attending. When throwing the party in the spring or summer, it may be better to book an outdoor venue where guests can move around with plenty of space and enjoy the excellent weather. However, if the surprise party is happening during colder months, an indoor venue would suffice. You need to make sure that any venue you choose has more than enough room for the number of guests who are going to attend.
Find Good Entertainment to Make the Event More Enjoyable
Having good entertainment at the party can make it even more exciting for everyone, especially the person who is celebrating their birthday. Start thinking about some of the different entertainers you can have at the venue, such as the following:
- Magicians
- Singers/bands
- Professional dancers
- Hypnotists
You can look for different entertainment options online to get some ideas for the party. Once you have a few ideas, start contacting different entertainers to find out if they are available to attend the event and perform in front of all your guests.
Get Creative with the Decorations
Try to get creative with the birthday party decorations. While you can buy some at a party supply store, you can also make some of your decorations, such as paper flowers, streamers, balloon arches, and more. Use colors for your decorations that you know the birthday guy or girl will love.
Planning a surprise party is not as hard as it seems. If you follow these simple tips, you can get through the planning process with no problem.
