Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you?

Or have you been the one to throw it?

I went to an amazing 60th birthday party for a friend tonight. My friend was in total shock. Total shock. It was perfect. And the whole evening was simply wondrous.

I would love to hear any stories of surprise parties of any kind. Also, my mom’s 60th is coming up later this year, and I’m looking for ideas and inspirations for what we might do for her. Thanks!
