Surprise Birthday Party Invitation Ideas

A surprise party only works if every guest knows the plan. These surprise birthday party invitation ideas help you keep the secret and get everyone there on time.

What to include

• A clear "it's a surprise" line at the top.
• An arrival time earlier than the guest of honor arrives.
• Where to park or wait, and who to contact.
• An RSVP to you, not to the birthday person.

Wording ideas

• "Shhh! It's a surprise."
• "Please arrive by 7:00 pm, the guest of honor arrives at 7:30."
• "Mum's the word!"
