Anirays’ Top Tips and Tools to Throwing a Tremendous Surprise Party Wepah Style!

Planning a Surprise Party for Someone – Great Idea or Big Mistake? 

One of the most exciting parties to plan is the famous, edge of your seat surprise party.  Whether it be a bachelorette, birthday, baby or bridal shower, these types of surprise parties generate excitement for everyone.  The build-up to a surprise party can be as thrilling as roller coaster ride, but as nerve racking as trip to the dentist.  To be successful, we recommend a few tips: 

Surprise Party Recipient:

1. Does the person enjoy surprises and likes to be the center of attention (on occasion)?
2. Does the person travel frequently or on short notice?
3. Can a family member, spouse or close friend keep tabs on the person’s schedule?
4. Does the person have young children and would require a babysitter the day of the party?
5. Is the person a social media snooper and can search for online chatter about the party?
6. Do you (the person planning the event) have the time, resources and patience to plan this party?

Surprise Party Decision:

If you are on the fence or answered NO to several of these surprise party knock-out questions, then consider telling the person about the party date and time.  Let the person know you want to plan a party for their special occasion.

Surprise Party Next Steps:

Incorporate surprise elements into the party instead of making the entire party a surprise.  For example, surprise the person with a special cake design or unique favor box.  Create a surprise photo album to display or play list for their special day.  This type of gesture can be equally as special for a person who is not the surprise party type or is too hard to pin down because of their schedule.
