Surprise parties are a wonderful way to offer a huge gesture to a special someone in your life. It can truly make the recipient feel loved and appreciated, it is a great way to celebrate any occasion. Asides from being certain that they'd actually enjoy a surprise party, here are four things you need to do to make it a success.

1. Choose a date and keep it clear

Choosing a date that you know is clear in the diary is essential, but you must make a fake plan for that date too. A dinner or trip to the cinema is a false lead that will help you make sure they don't make other plans on that date. Keeping the party a secret means that you have to do a lot of pre-party planning for it to run smoothly.

2. Organise a venue and catering

Choose a venue that's easy to get to and won't attract too much suspicion on the way. You don't want the party person figuring out what's going on before they arrive! Make sure the venue has the capacity for the number of guests you're inviting and all the facilities you need. You will also need to consider a bar, catering and music.

3. Consider a theme

Deciding on a theme can help when it comes to decorations, choice of venue, food and music. You could also use a theme to encourage fancy dress, though bear in mind it might be hard to convince your party person to dress up without an explanation as to why!

4. Send invitations

You'll need to invite guests subtly, so you may want to avoid social media or other platforms that could be easily noticed. Traditional party invitations are a great way to send all guests the relevant information without the party person finding out. Send invitations in plenty of time and make sure you state the best way for guests to respond. Their responses will also need to be subtle.
