When planning an Anniversary Party you need to make some important decisions:
1. Your budget

3. The date of the party
4. Whether you want to have a large and/or formal anniversary party in a restaurant, hotel, country club, etc; or a smaller, informal party at home.
Once you have made these decisions, the next thing that you need to do is secure your date at an appropriate venue ... in writing.
Are you thinking about a surprise party? Here are some things to consider.
Pros and Cons of a Surprise Party
A couple you love dearly has a wedding anniversary coming up soon, and you want to do something really special to show you care. You might be considering throwing a surprise anniversary party. Surprise parties are usually fun and exciting, especially for the one who's planning the party. But is a surprise party a good idea for the couple you have in mind? You might want to read over the list of pros and cons below before making your decision. Surprise parties aren't for everyone or every occasion.
Pros of a Surprise Anniversary Party
There are several advantages to throwing a surprise anniversary party. For one, you'll be able to plan secretly and have a tremendous thrill when it's time to surprise the guests of honor. Just seeing their facial expressions makes it worth all the planning and "sneaky" techniques to get it accomplished.
Another advantage is that your guests of honor won't have the stress of planning the party. They can fully enjoy the party once they arrive and not have to worry beforehand or afterwards about how the party was put together.
Surprise parties often attract a larger crowd because people in general get excited about surprising someone. The party will more likely be a huge success!
Your loved ones will know you care because of the effort you put forth to plan a surprise party. Surprise parties give most people a sense of feeling "special" because of all the fuss over them.
Cons of a Surprise Anniversary Party
There are also several disadvantages of throwing a surprise party for your loved ones' anniversary. Probably the greatest disadvantage is the fact that you'll have to carefully plan a date and time that won't interfere with any of their other plans. For example, many couples take off on an anniversary vacation at that time and often spontaneously. With that in mind, you might want to plan the party a week or two before their anniversary to be safe. Or, in casual conversation, ask if they're planning anything special for their anniversary.
Another disadvantage is the fact that the couple is not able to give input as to how and where they would like their party. One way to overcome this is to plan everything according to what you know about them - their likes and dislikes. For example, if you know that the husband or wife hates barbecue, then don't serve barbecue at their anniversary party.
Surprise anniversary parties are often difficult to plan because you have to get the couple there without raising suspicions. You can plan ahead with them to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant or by inviting them over to your house for dinner to celebrate, and offer to pick them up. The problem is that any plan can backfire when you're trying to surprise someone, so have a plan "B".
Based on what you know about the anniversary couple's personality and the advice of their family and friends, you can decide if a surprise party is the best way to go. Either way, you can still host a fantastic anniversary party with careful planning.
