In my opinion, holding a great surprise birthday party is somewhat of an art. After all, half of the birthday party surprises that people throw don't really come off. Oh sure, the recipient pretend to be surprised, but most of the time people suspect something before hand. They may not know exactly what type of surprise birthday party they are getting, but they know that something is awaiting them.
When I try to hold a surprise party, I make sure that everything is perfect. Rather than sending out birthday party invitations in the mail, I deliver each one personally. I make sure that everyone knows exactly how the surprise birthday party is going to go. They all know when to meet, where to meet, and what to do to make sure that the party arrangements remain secret. After all, what is the point of going through all that effort if you're not going to really carry it through?
Most of the surprise birthday parties I've been in have been held at people's houses, but in my opinion it's a lot easier to organize a surprise party somewhere around town. In a public place, having a crowd standing around won't attract attention. On top of that, the lucky birthday boy or girl is less likely to notice that all their friends cars are parked around the area. You don't need to necessarily rents a venue, but that can be a lot of fun. Renting a room in a restaurant or club is a great way to hold a surprise birthday party on the town. Alternately, you can simply have it in a public place. Have your guests come to a park, for example, and have a barbecue there.
Of course a surprise birthday party can not be perfect without good party favors. After all, everyone will want a little souvenir to take away with them to remember the day. You can hand out little goodie bags, but it is even better to come up with something that captures the theme of the party. If you are very cloak and dagger about it, for example, you can hand out little spy toys to all the guests. It doesn't really matter if it is a great present, and you probably should not spend a lot of money on the party favors. The important thing is that it helps people remember all the fun they had at the surprise birthday party.
Good intelligence will also help you to hold the best birthday party surprises. For example, you will need to discretely find out what kind of cake the birthday boy likes best, what kind of food he likes to eat, and even what sort of music he enjoys. That way, you can cater exactly to his tastes without telling him what you're up to.
