Ever had a Surprise Party?

Yes I have key to a succesful surprise party is never do it on the exact date . I get my spouse for looking for it to happen on the day.LOL never happens and gets suprised almost every time. It is cool and fum to see expression on face .

Oh, don't remind me of surprise parties! I had one for my daughter for her 16th b-day. I got with her best friend and asked for 10-20 people's addresses to invite. This was about a month prior. No responses. 2 weeks before I asked her for more - she gave me another 10. Still no RSVP's. She had 3 close GF's and one said she couldn't come because of something stupid (I thought good grief, this is your best friend's 16th B-day, and that other thing is more important?) anyway, she did take my daughter to the mall after school and brought her home for the "surprise" part, and then left -literally. Didn't even stay for 10 minutes! The other one never showed up and her most BF stayed and one boy showed up that wasnt' a close friend, just "part of the group" of friends. That was it. Those 2 were all that showed up for her birthday - she was devistated! I felt so sorry for her! I took her out hte next day and let her pick out a new outfit. She never quite got over that!

I've never had a surprise party thrown for me lol, but i was at one recently for my friend and the look on her face when she walked in and seen every1 there was just great as she was feeling down about not doing anything for her bday. i had a great time :)

When I turned 40, my husband threw a surprise party for me. It was really nice. We had planned on just one couple coming over and spending the evening together. Ended up having my entire family and a few friend over. It was a huge surprise. Of course it was the night I decided to just bumb around because this other couple were such good friends so I looked like a total scum. Then I had a surprise party for my husband when he turned 40~ yes, he is younger than I am. I drew him a bubble bath, gave him a bottle of champagne and told him that he had time to himself while the kids and I got dinner ready. While the guests were arriving, I think he drank the whole bottle of champagne. I sent my son in to tell him dinner was almost ready and he came out in his robe:) It was so funny! I had invited tons of our friends and family.
