If you are planning to a surprise party for someone you truly are a wonderful person. Now we have buttered you up, lets get down to the nitty gritty. Organising a surprise party is perhaps the most difficult party to plan and it will be hard work. However don't let this put you off, surprise parties can also be the most fun and always go well. The reason for this is that in the build up to the party your invited guest's will enjoy being 'in the know', and that makes them feel far more involved. This sense of collective goodwill is why everyone arrives on mass and early enough to get a couple of drinks in before the guest of honor arrives. For most parties some people like to arrive fashionably late, and people do tend to drift in over the first hour or so. With a surprise party this doesn't happen, its bad form to arrive after the big surprise moment so everyone will arrive early and have the time to relax into the party spirit.

Surprise Party Tips

Organising any kind of party is a very stressful experience and will need a degree of military precision. Keeping a surprise party secret is difficult, you will need help. Organise a team of co conspirators and if its a surprise party for someone you live with such as husband or wife you will also have to keep it secret from the kids, they will defiantly give the game away.

You will need to arrange the catering choose a venue, hire a DJ or band and many people will need to be contacted. However if one of your party service providers called you and the guest of honor (or can we say victim) picked up the phone and asked why they were calling it would ruin the surprise. Its best to route all contacts through a trusted friend who can then pass on information when your victim is not around.

If you have managed to keep the whole thing secret this far you have done very well, but the hard bit is still to come. You will then need a believable cover story to get the surprise target to the venue and into the party room without rousing suspicion. This is the main reason that gives the game away at the last moment its essential you established a convincing pretense for going into the party venue.

The lucky beneficiary of all your hard work will defiantly twig if you make them dress up in their sunday best and go to a party venue without a believable reason for doing so. Its best to keep it simple and the simplest cover story is someone else's party i.e. someone from work that they have never met. If its a birthday party your victim might be expecting to do something on their big night so you should pretend to book a table at a restaurant. You can say "we'll just show our face at the party for half an hour and then go onto the restaurant for our own celebration" This misdirection will satisfy most people and they will not question the new outfits you may be wearing and the fact you have had your hair done etc.

If they think they are going into someone else's party it will seem normal to hear music and laughter when you approach the party venue. However if are aiming for your victim to step into a dark, silent room that appears empty until everyone shouts 'surprise!' and the lights come on, think about the car park. If the party venue is empty why is the car park full of cars moreover why is the car park full of cars belonging to friends and family.

If you are using the restaurant cover story you can get a friend to phone you as you travel to the party venue to confirm your ETA and you could pretend the call was from the manager of the restaurant. Your end of the conversation could go along the lines of "well we are going to a party before we come to you and we should be at the party in 5 minutes and should be at the restaurant in about 2 hours." If your victim is suspicious then you could also pretend the manager was phoning to say there was a mix up with the table booking and could you get to the restaurant earlier. That way when you arrive at the party venue your victim will be thinking about giving the restaurant manager a telling off and you can quickly rush inside before they have time to look round the car park and spot any last minute give away clues.

If you have made it to the party venue and managed kept the whole thing under wraps you have done a fantastic job. Make sure your guest of honor knows just how hard you have worked and how lucky they are to have a wonderful person like you around.

As an extra surprise prepare a 'this is your life' style presentation, and after the big surprise moment introduce all the party guests and mention how they are known to the guest of honor, this will help to break the ice and give the guest of honor time to drink a double brandy to get over the shock. Save any long time friends and close family members till last especially, if the have an amusing or story to tell.

If you are planning a surprise party for someone we can help keep it a secret. You don't want all you hard work ruined at the last minute by a DJ who phones the night before and spills the beans. Imaging the if the person who was to receive the surprise party answers the DJ's phone call and asks "who is it" and the DJ says "its the DJ for the party tomorrow." To avoid this we ask for alternate emergency contact numbers and have prearranged times when we will call. In addition if anyone other than the contact person answers we will have a pre arranged code story to tell. This might be something like "its Jim from work will you get (contact person) to phone me when you can nothing to worry about thanks" we will also always double check you can speak freely. If the person you are trying to surprise is in the background when you are speaking to your Mobile Disco they will soon guess what's going on.

If you are secretly planning to give someone a party they will never forget we would love to be in on the surprise. Pro Mobile disco can provide professional DJ's for Birthday party's or any Surprise Party event and mobile discos in London at surprisingly low DJ hire rates.
