Throwing a surprise party
can be a daunting task! Getting everyone organised, making sure the birthday
person is really surprised and isn’t faking it, lots of things to do and
remember at the same time! These tips shared by Jumia Travel, the leading
online travel, should help you in planning an exciting and unforgettable
surprise gig.
Go
detective on them
If you are throwing a
surprise party for someone it means you know them well. However, it’s important
to find out what they would like without giving anything away. A good way to do
this is to get them talking about other parties they have been to.
Inform
your guests that it is a surprise party
Make sure to tell people
on the invitation that the event is a surprise party. This will help your
guests to keep their lips sealed.
Plan
a fake but realistic outing for the person the surprise is meant for
Get an accomplice or
friend to plan a fake activity with the person the surprise is meant for. This will ensure that he or she will be
available that day to have their surprise sprung. You can even let a few other
guests in on the fake plans to help make it more realistic.
Don't
tell children about the party
Sometimes children don’t
know how to hold a secret. It’s best not to tell the little ones weeks before.
You might want to tell them on the day itself or a few hours beforehand.
Always
erase clue that may hint them that something is amidst
Make sure that no clues
(obvious and less obvious) are left lying around that the Surprise may find out
about. For example, if you send emails to people about the surprise party, and
there’s a chance the Surprise might see them, erase them.
Use
social media to your advantage
Once you have assembled
your team of surprise party planners, create a private Facebook group or use a
group chat on WhatsApp to communicate and plan without the risk of the secret
being revealed.
Delegate
discretely
Once you have a date in
mind, write a list of everything that needs to be done, bought and made for the
event and then allocate roles. Planning a party can be a lot of fun, but it can
also be a lot of work and often other people will want to help so let them as
it takes some of the pressure off you. At the same time, ensure that you are
discrete when delegating so that the Surprise will not suspect.
