Planning A Surprise Party

Use your imagination and know exactly what the likes of the “celebrant” are as well as his/her schedule so you can successfully host a surprise party that your “guest of honor” will love.Here’s a guide to help you out:
1. Guest list. As this is a surprise, then you can not coordinate with the “celebrant” who she wants for her party. Ask her best or closest friend, co-worker or the mom so you can have an idea.
2. Date. This can be really hard when you do not know your “guest of honor’s” schedule. Here again, ask people who she often sees or works with daily.
3. Theme. When you know her preferences, then it will be easy for you to decide on a theme. Is she a movie fan? A sports fanatic? Loves to cook? Loves the beach? Loves to play cards?
4. Party location. Keep in mind to consider how many guests are coming when choosing the party’s location. Keep in mind, too, that this goes with the theme that you have chosen. For example, you choose to have a Caribbean theme party. Select a restaurant fronting the beach or with a pool. If you have chosen a casino party, choose to have it indoors with air-conditioning.
5. Setting up the party. If you have chosen a Caribbean theme party, have the guests come in their colorful costumes and you can decorate the place with lots of tropical plants and flowers and torches. See to it that you also serve a little assortment of Caribbean food.If you have chosen a casino party (when your guest of honor loves the game of cards) you can set up tables of poker and rent slot machines.Should the party require a costume, better have one ready for the “guest of honor” so that when she arrives, she can readily change into it.
6. Music. Select music that would best suit the personality of your “guest of honor”, or one that would suit the theme of your surprise party.
7. The day of the party. Have someone pick up the “guest of honor”.
For example, have her best friend invite her to dinner and bring her to the surprise party instead.
Have some close relatives and friends say something about the “guest of honor”.Hire dance instructors to dance with the guests as well as a party DJ to make the party lively.Enjoy and feel contented; a happy “guest of honor” is soon to thank you for a surprise party well planned.
