Don't Mess Up the Surprise Party by Denying the Proper Planning

There are many types of parties, but none of them have the magic of a surprise party. If you want to give someone something to remember for a long time to come a surprise party will definitely suffice. People give surprise parties for a variety of reasons. Some popular reasons for giving a surprise party are; birthdays, graduations, someone close to you received a pay raise at work, or they were finally given that big promotion, or an anniversary or possibly a new job. Whatever the reason surprise parties provide great memories and gives the guest of honor tremendous feelings of warmth and appreciation.

The best and most proven way to begin your preparations for the party is by creating a checklist. A checklist is your guide and you will be using it throughout the planning. Everything must be cataloged in order to prevent any mishaps. This includes; budget considerations, venue, guest list (along with addresses and phone numbers), decorations and cost, food and cost, beverages and cost, the date of the party and anything else related to the planning. By having things written down you are able to keep track of all the items you need or purchased, and everything related to your guest list is much easier to manage.

The second step in your surprise party planning would be different from your average party planning ritual. This is when you would begin devising your plan. The plan is all about creating a workable surprise for the guest of honor. Depending on the person's habits this can either be very easy or very difficult to arrange. Some serious thinking should go into making this achievable. Come up with a list of places where the guest of honor frequents and write them all down. If the surprise party is going to be at your home and he/she lives with you, plan accordingly. Keep all of your party preparations out of sight and if possible at a friend or relatives house. The party plan must be kept realistic and most likely will involve the help of others. A good way to find out if your surprise will work is to ask for an opinion. Have a few different ideas prepared and once you have your plan intact you can move forward with your surprise party preparations.

If for some reason you were unable to create a workable surprise, try using the decoy rouse. By having a decoy to lure your guest of honor either away from the parties whereabouts or to it, you will have someone controlling his/her every move, making the surprise easier to pull off. It is easier because you will know there where they are at least an hour before the party begins, which is an all important factor in achieving success.

Now that you have your surprise planned and ready it is time to put your efforts into the actual surprise party planning. There is still much to be done, so get out your pen and paper (i.e. checklist) and get to work. Start by coming up with your budget and go from there. You're planning a great party here, so maintain your composure and get it right.
