A surprise party for adults can be tricky. Now imagine a surprise party for kids - - - you’re going to need some help. With a few simple tips for invitations and some great surprise party ideas, you’ll be on your way to an excellent surprise for your birthday kid.

The surprise invitation

Most kids will have a real hard time trying to keep a secret – especially when it is something as good as a party. You don’t want to risk a slip-up at school or on the playground. Instead of sending surprise birthday invitations to the kids guests, send them to the parents. This way, you’ll be able to make sure your children’s friends can come to the party and not risk blowing the surprise. While you may have a theme for your child’s surprise party, you might want to keep this birthday invitation more subtle. You don’t want to give any clues to children with wagging tongues. It is probably a good idea to get the parents involved here too, as you might need help with a ‘fake’ activity for your guest of honor.

Sending birthday invitations to parents or babysitters

While you’ll need their help in getting their child to the party and keeping the secret, you might want to consider sending an actual birthday invitation to the parents as well. This is a great chance for you to get to know your child’s friends parents. And their help at the party might be critical if you’re expecting a large group. If you don’t want to send invitations to the parents, you might want to consider hiring a babysitter or two to help you out. You want to enjoy your child’s party also, not be overwhelmed by partying children.

Decorating for your Children’s surprise party

Once your birthday guest of honor is out of the house get your other kid guests over to help decorate. Make a special note on the birthday invitation that you’d like some help with the decorations and pretty soon you’ll have all the help you need. You might also enlist the help of parents and teachers when thinking of a theme for your surprise party. Once the house is decorated, you’ll have to close the drapes on the windows, so the guest of honor doesn’t see until they’ve entered the house. You might want to have a ‘quiet’ party activity in mind so your boisterous guests don’t give away your surprise as the guest of honor is arriving.

Location, location, location

As you well know, kids need entertainment. It’s not enough for them to yell ‘surprise’ and be entertained for the afternoon. Consider sending your birthday invitations for an afternoon at a kid-friendly restaurant, arcade, ice cream parlor, Movie Theater or your child’s favorite store. This will not only help with the entertainment, but will be a great way to keep your birthday party secret. Once the birthday invitations go out, you don’t have to worry about making any more plans for your home. Check with your favorite store or amusement location for more information on making this the perfect location for your child’s surprise party.

A few simple tricks and some planning can make any party for your child easy. Make sure your birthday invitations are clear and sent to the grown-ups for added secret keeping and you’re off to a great start.
