Surprise Party Checklist
Do you have a friend or family member who is celebrating an important occasion? Maybe they are having a birthday or perhaps they recently received a promotion. Whatever the occasion may be, celebrate with a surprise party. Here is the ultimate surprise party checklist.
The first thing you need to plan a surprise party is a guest list. Create a list of your loved one’s friends and family members. Consider asking a mutual friend for assistance creating a guest list to be sure you have as many of your loved one’s loved ones at their event as possible.
Up next, you need to find the perfect venue. You need to pick a place that your loved one won’t suspect. A place like their house or favorite restaurant is perfect. If they are going to a familiar location, they won’t think they are going to a surprise party. Rather, they will think they are in for an ordinary evening.
Once you pick the time and place, you’re ready to send invites to your guest list. Be sure to make it clear on the invitations that the party is a surprise party. You don’t want any guests to accidentally spoil the surprise by mentioning the party to your loved one.
You want to be sure your loved one and their friends and family are entertained and satisfied during the party. That is why you should consider either catering the event or having it be a potluck. Whether you choose catering or a potluck, you want to rent equipment to keep the food warm during the party.
You will also need tables and chairs if you are serving food. You want your guests to be able to sit and enjoy their food during the event. To take things to the next level, consider renting table linens as well. You may even want to rent plates and utensils if you don’t want to be wasteful with paper products.
Lastly, consider renting some fun items like a popcorn machine or bounce house for your loved one’s party. Depending on their age and the age of the guests, these items may be perfect for a family-friendly event or children’s birthday party.
