Just found out my husband had arranged a surprise party, and I hate surprise parties! He can't understand why I should because he says he would like one! He did organise one for me once and I had to put a brave face on it and pretend to enjoy myself, and didn't have the heart to tell him I hated it, so he thinks I loved it! what do you feel about surprise parties?

My three children arranged a surprise party for my 70th. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all my family and friends. ?

I really would love a surprise party for a big birthday ... IF I could be sure of guest list so no-one important was left out ... knew that the food and drink angle was properly covered so all of the family dietry needs were met and there were definitely enough glasses etc. - Oh and MILK for teas and coffees! ... having my best face on .... so vain about having my photo taken ... appropriate outfit - don't dare catch me out in my rough old fleece and trainers look...... CAKE! Just has to be one of my DD's specials ....
