How To Plan A Surprise Party: The Ultimate Guide

Throwing a surprise party can be one of the most stressful, yet rewarding things you can do. If you have a friend that you really want to make a fuss about for their birthday this year, catching them off guard and showing them how much they mean to you and your friends is sure to make them feel as good as ever.

With the help of us here at Party Save Smile, we can make sure that whatever type of surprise party you throw, it’ll be nothing short of a raving success. Join us as we run through the ultimate guide to planning the best surprise party.

Decide your theme for your surprise party early

Now this will be a real test of how well you know your friend. Working out what theme your friend would most appreciate is something that seems tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. We would recommend asking around your friend group and coming up with a few ideas you know they’ll definitely like.


Of course, if you’re throwing a surprise party for your son or daughter, you have the advantage of knowing their interests very well. Discover our wide range of party theme decorations available here at Party Save Smile. From the most popular themes such as Minecraft to the most obscure such as an Alligator-themed party, you will find all the supplies and decorations you need on our website!

Transform your venue to really surprise your guests

To truly throw the best surprise party, you need to ensure that all the decorations and venue do the theme justice. While starter packs will get the ball rolling, you will want to go the extra mile with decorations that not everyone will have thought of. Some of our favourite, less-thought-of items include pinatas, great for kid's birthday parties and photo props to truly make it a memorable event.

Be sure to add a personal touch to the surprise party

While the gesture of a surprise party is a thoughtful one in itself, you can go the extra mile by adding personal touches where possible. The likes of numbered balloons to signify the age of your friend or even your child's favourite character in balloon form.

Our favourite personal touch is the balloon in a box. Not only do they add great value to any venue decoration, but they’re also so easy to store! Discover the wide range of Balloon In a Box we have available here at Party Save Smile.
