surprise sweet 16 for friend


Question Posted Sunday September 28 2008, 8:15 pm

hey, advicenators!

so my best friend's boyfriend and i both want to throw my best friend a surprise sweet 16 party!

we have comprised the guest list and pretty much all the little details and it's going to be at her house. our other friends will kick her out of the house and take her shopping or something and we'll invite a few people over to decorate the place, then invite all the people before she gets home and surprise her! both him and i will stay late to clean up the place so that she has NO STRESS and can only concentrate on having a GREAT time.

the way we're organizing it is that we're going to have a facebook event and allow people to wall post what they want to bring (e.g., x napkins, x plates, etc.) or have the option of donating so many dollars in cash. there will be ~ 30 people there so it's not THAT huge of a party. her birthday is in january.

does anyone have any suggestions for the surprise party? there is no theme and everything will be via facebook event except the RSVPing will be "CALL THIS NUMBER TO RSVP:" and give my cell number.

I don't think Facebook is necessarily the best idea. Not only might your best friend see the group, but people might not log in and things just might go wrong.


I suggest doing written invites instead. This way, you can assure that everybody will have been invited for sure, and there's a much less chance of your best friend finding out.


That being said, on the invites you can include: Please Bring: and then put a list of what is needed. Underneath the list, you can put PLEASE MAKE SURE to tell us what you are bringing when you call to RSVP.


Other than that, I think you sound like you have it under control. Just make sure you have everything planned [food, music, activities, time, etc] and you should be just fine!


I hope your party goes well.

EDIT:
Okay, there's no need to be so rude. The reason I said that was because it happened to someone I know.


That sounds great, but...I don't think it's gonna be a surprise if it's on Facebook and you're facebook friends with her.

She'll see in her news feed either that the event was created or that people are going.

Might wanna find another way to let people know.
