Social Gatherings

Got someone special’s birthday or anniversary coming up? Or do you know someone who got that big promotion recently? Or are you just looking for another excuse to throw a party? BookEventZ has come up with a complete checklist of everything you’ll need to plan a surprise party like a pro.

But first things first, find out if the surprise even likes surprises or not. This will tell you if you should plan an intimate celebration with just your inner circle or the party of the century for absolutely everybody you know.

1. Venue for the Surprise Party

Whether it’s an intimate surprise party or a huge celebration the one thing you will need is a location to celebrate the day. You can choose to set up a nice romantic dinner at home or a beautiful banquet hall to accommodate all the dancing and the fun.

 

2. Food for the Surprise Party

Cook up a variety of surprise favourite dishes. But if you just know you’re not a master chef in the kitchen then just call in a caterer to do the job for you. Don’t worry we’ll keep it hush..we’ve all been there.

 

3. Decor/Theme for the Surprise Party

Ask yourself what’s your surprises most favourite thing. If your planning something romantic you can never go wrong with flowers, but if you’re planning something big you can take the help of some decorators for the perfect outcome.

4. Photographer for the Surprise Party

Now that you’ve put so much effort, don’t forget to capture all these memories as well. Keep a camera nearby or just hire a professional so that you don’t miss a frame of every moment.

 

5. Music for the Surprise Party

What’s a party without some music? Put on a playlist of the songs of their choice or call in a DJ to add that musical touch to your evening.

6. Entertainment for the Surprise Party

Can there be a better set of entertainment then the collection of your favourite board games or your karaoke system? We think not. However, if your planning a party for a bigger crowd you can also choose to have a professional band, a magician or even some belly dancers.

7. The Master of Ceremonies (MC)

If you need someone to handle the flow of the evening while you focus only on having fun, then an MC is what you need. They’ll manage the entire event from the entertainment to announcing the buffet and will trouble you only if things got way out of hand.

So these are just a few brief things to keep in mind to have a successful, well enjoyable get-together plan. Make sure to check every item on this list to systematically arrange and enjoy your party that you can cherish forever.
