How to Plan a Surprise Party

●Pick a party theme. They may come up wearing crazy clothes, see everyone else's, and you will get the chance to use your creativity when it comes to decorations, prizes, and activities. The best part? It can be anything: cartoon-themed, colour-themed or costume-themed.

●Pick a place your guests of honour frequents to avoid suspicion (怀疑). If you tell your party-persons that you're heading to the nicest restaurant in town, they'll know that there's an occasion. However, if you tell them that you're heading to the same restaurant you go to every Thursday night, suspicion will be kept at a minimum.

●Pick a date before the actual occasion. If this surprise party is for a birthday, holding a party on the day might be a little hard to turn into an awesome surprise.  Besides, choose a date when all of their friends are able to go.

●Choose your guests. Here's what to consider:

A small group. This is easier to manage, people can keep their mouths shut, and it creates a more warm environment. However, it's less impressive and more people might be upset that they're not invited.

A large group. This is harder to manage, the word might slip out, it's harder to get a space, but in the end, your party-persons might be surprised by seeing everyone they love in one room.

● There are three types of people in this world: those that don't like surprise parties because they always want to be prepared, those that don't like surprise parties because they think they're being forgotten, and those that love a good surprise party in their honour. Make sure your party-persons fall into the third category!

A. So choose a place that seems "normal".

B. It isn't much better if something emergent happens.

C. To avoid that, plan something before the actual date.

D. Be sure your guests of honour would want a surprise party.

E. You have two options: a small gathering or a big get-together.

F. An easy way to get guests excited about a party is to give it a theme.

G. The hardest part about a surprise party is making sure your guests don't find it out.
