Do you have a surprise party to plan? Whether it's for your best friend, your sibling, your parents or your partner, every surprise party must include these 6 elements. Keep reading the article to find out what these six elements are and learn how to throw the best surprise party!

 

Throwing someone a surprise party is the best present in the history of presents. It shows them how well you know the person, how well you know their likes and dislikes and know everyone important to them. It's a big gesture of affection, so while planning a surprise party, make sure you keep these things in mind:

 

1. Deciding a theme: The most crucial part of organizing a surprise party is deciding a theme. A party without a theme just seems boring and not put together. But how do you choose the theme?  The theme for your party can be anything from your person’s favourite TV show or movie to their favourite genre in music or their favourite game or celebrity. The possibilities are endless, anything your person loves or is passionate about can be a theme. If you cannot decide on a creative theme, it's always safe to choose a colour theme. It should be their favourite colour though.

Once the theme is decided, all you have to do is plan the entire party around the theme. You can ask your guests to come dressed up according to the theme, arrange for food and refreshments keeping the theme in mind, and decorate the venue accordingly.

 

2. Deciding the guest list: The second most important thing while organizing a party is curating the guest list. Since this party will be a surprise, you should be aware of everyone the person is in contact with and would love to have them at the party. That means, excluding people they don't like or find irritating. Carefully make the guest list and keep in mind to only include people who care about the person and want to celebrate their special day.

 

3. Selecting the venue: The venue plays an important role too while planning a surprise. You could book any place in town but there’s something special about planning it on our own. You could plan the surprise at their house, provided you have access to their house. Or you could plan it at a friend’s house. But keep in mind, it should be someplace where they can't suspect it.

 

4. The Decorations: What is even a party without decorations? Bring life to the party with the help of FunCorp decorations. Decorate the place with birthday banners, foil balloons, streamers, inflatable letters, curtains, and string lights. Set up a photo booth where people can come and take photos, and at the end of the party, collect all the photos and make a collage and gift it to the person. Keep a table where you can display all the gifts. Make a post-it table, where people can come and write sweet messages for the special person and drop it in a box which they are going to receive at the end of the party. The messages can be anonymous, confessions, or just simple compliments. Sweet gestures like these make the party everlasting.

 

5. Food and refreshments: Food and refreshments are again a must-have. You can make your special drink or food based on the theme. If your party theme is based on any movie or tv show, you can find any type of snack or drink based on that and highlight that particular thing.

 

6. Having an element of surprise: And lastly, your party should have an element of surprise throughout. Be discreet and plan everything cautiously. The person you are throwing a surprise for should have no idea about your plans. If they have a distant relative or friend they haven't met in a long time, go ahead and reach out to them. See if they can make it to the party or do something which will truly surprise them.

 

These were the 6 elements of a surprise party that should be kept in mind while planning one. But you don’t have to stick to any rules, you can be creative and do whatever you wish to do.
