Planning a special celebration for someone is exciting indeed – especially if that special someone is having a surprise birthday party! It’s one thing to tell your guests to keep the party a secret, but it’s another to host a truly unique celebration – something that the guests will remember long after the party is over. When you are tasked with hosting a surprise birthday party for someone, it is a wonderful way to show that person that you care about them and want to make their special day even more memorable. And it can be every bit as special and unique with a little bit of planning and oodles of creativity. So what can you do to celebrate a surprise party and make it much more special? Here are some tried-and-tested tips and ideas on how to make your surprise celebration even more magical.
Opt for a theme
One sure way to make your surprise birthday party more special is by opting for a theme. A themed party can add excitement and amp up your celebration to the next level. Some party themes are more popular than most, and for good reason: you can have a beach-themed party, a night at the casino, a masquerade ball, or a murder mystery party (my personal fave!) Remember to pick a theme that the birthday person would love, of course, and decorate the venue according to the theme!
Plan an array of activities
Another way you can make your surprise party more memorable is by planning activities everyone can enjoy and participate in. You should know that different activities can break the ice and get people to interact with each other.
It can also create a fun atmosphere.
According to party experts like Oasisevents.co.uk, you can schedule activities everyone loves, such as board games, scavenger hunts, photo booths, or karaoke. Of course, you have to make sure that the activities are appropriate for the age group of the guests.
Go for personalised decor
Personalising the decor is a brilliant way to make the surprise birthday party even more special. You can customise the decorations, such as banners, balloons, and centrepieces, with the celebrant’s name, age, or favourite quotes. You can even include pictures of the birthday celebrant throughout the venue and other personal touches that the celebrant would appreciate.
Get ultra-creative with the cake
The birthday cake is one of the most important elements of any birthday celebration, so why not get creative with it? You can have a customised cake with the birthday person’s favourite flavours or a cake shaped like something the celebrant loves, such as a favourite pet or hobby. Add a special message to the cake, such as a funny picture or their favourite quote.
Create a special moment
If you want to celebrate a surprise birthday party in the best way possible, create a special moment the birthday celebrant will always remember. This can be as simple as a group sing-along to the celebrant’s favourite song or a speech from the heart. Another popular idea is to create a video montage of their life – or have a special surprise guest, such as a long-lost family member or friend, show up for the party.
