If the party isn\u2019t a surprise, make sure that he\/she doesn\u2019t know the entire guest list  That will be part of the surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that the guests who will take part in the \u201cthis is your life\u201d program remain a mystery and stay out of sight! That way the guest of honour won\u2019t know that they are there at the party until the right moment.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmasque.co.uk\">planning a birthday party<\/a>, seat the guest of honour in a special chair in front of everyone. Have several \u201csurprise\u201d guests from different stages in his or her life hide behind a curtain or outside the room.<\/p>\n<p>One at a time, have each of them tell a story about the guest of honour \u2013 some will be funny, some will be touching.
