Often the party planners are perceived to evolve the surprise idea and hold the surprise party months before the event they are celebrating, for instance someone's birthday. But this very celebration has its own drawbacks, as it can be seen as premature and not as special a celebration. Now you can compensate this by having the party after the significant day. This can be indeed very thriving because the guest of honor's guard will be down and they won't be expecting the big surprise. Again, there are others who prefer to celebrate with a surprise party by holding two parties. The first being a very small, a cheap and casual party to throw off the guest of honor's suspicions and then later, even just a few hours later on the same day giving them the big surprise party! But you shall have to keep in mind that the surprise idea doesn't crop up on its own or happens to be the blessing of the Almighty. Rather they are gathered from a lot of directions. Now if you want to explore, you will be amazed to find a lot of decorative but surprise ideas, which you can sue for your surprise party. For instance, a glitz and glam party filled with metallic dangles and paper supply trimmed in silver and gold will ensure the guests have a fun time with an upper-class feel. Or just think of a special themed party that will send the partygoers back in time, like the old college days, especially when the party is a birthday celebration. Again if there is a sudden meeting of the college friends after several years, what can be the best surprise idea? Just try to fabricate the old college environment or those evergreen memories which still arrive in you memory. Write the name of the heartthrob on the wall and also her likings/disliking, the most famous dishes of the college days! Or even a 70s, 80s or even 90s surprise party can really surprise the guest of honor and brighten their day! Now for these parties you will have to labor a lot. You can and shall have to quickly pick up some afro wigs and groovy headbands to match the mood of the rebellious 70s. Now if you are from the 80s the theme needs more material style with cool sunglasses and teased hair and the 90s party rocks with grungy clothes and some inflatable guitars scattered around the area.

Again, there are a lot of fun ways that you can really incorporate a surprise party into your celebration. So while making the guest list you will of course have to go according to the guest of honor's address book. Friends, family, business associates or people from the past making a great starting point when sending out your invitations. Now each party has its own paraphernalia. If, for example, it happens to be a 50th birthday celebration, you could urge guests to bring an old photo to share. Whatever you decide, make sure to let everybody know it's a surprise and not to spill the beans! Now, you will find that the photos people bring along will serve as a great party favor. They could be given to the guest of honor or tacked up on a bulletin board for everyone to see. For a more in depth collage, try gathering photos ahead of time to create more elaborate displays. There should also be the arrangement of a guest book, to have a record of the valuable comments for the posterity. Remember, above all there is the need to be happy and let others in high spirits.
