Help, Trying to Plan a Surpise Party

We attended a surprise party for a friend a few weeks ago. The party was a casino night held at a friend's house and the birthday boy had no idea what he walking into. Of course, you have to have a good friend to open their house for a party.

I haven done events at the Movie Tarvern in Denton but I think the Studio Movie Grill on 35 in L-ville is the same thing - It was easy to get my hubby there (told him it was just us dinner and a movie) went to the bar and had a drink before the movie then all his buddies starting showing up - He LOVED it and is was super easy on my part! :-) Have fun!

What type of place do you want to have it at? Restaurant? Bar? Winery? I've got suggestions, but it depends on what type of party you're looking to have...

I had a surprise 40th for my husband at Abuelo's in Lewisville (across from Vista Ridge). They gave us a private party room and the staff was great. They kept everything a surprise and even helped us with our cover story (we said that we were there for a mother's day celebration for his mom). The room fits about 60 people. I spent a little over $1000 including food, alcoholic beverages, and gratuity for 65 people. The Food was really good. If you need more ideas, I did check a number of places. Just PM me.

What kind of places do you and your husband like to go to have fun? Do you want dinner, dancing, games? Off the top of my head, I thought of Dave & Busters, or the Medieval Times tournament/restaurant, but those are a little farther than Lewisville/Flower Mound or Grapevine. In Grapevine specifically, the Gaylord Texan Resort has a nightclub next to it called the Glass Cactus...www.glasscactusnightclub.com
I've never been there, but on their website it says they also serve food and they can plan special events like birthday parties, etc.
I hope any of these suggestions can help. Good luck and congrats to your husband! Wish I were 30 again!

Is he a sports type of guy? Maybe box seat tickets to a Ranger's Game would be fun.

We have done surprise adult parties at Pump It Up in Grapevine. Those are always fun. They say they are going to a child's party and then it is for the adult. We can do team sports and then they head over to a restaurant for some adult refreshment!

Every party I've ever had and/or planned have been more fun at home... That's just my opinion. You can do a theme party and make it all up yourself. Outside you are more limited to what you can do. Themes are fun from clothing guests have to wear (even just all a certain color, or costumes, or from a certain year, etc) to the food, and music, and decorations, you can go as all out as you want and cost very little money! Hawaiian is always fun!

Just a thought, good luck! It will be fun whatever you chose! I went to a 30 year old party at chucky cheese before. The guy just wanted to feel like a kid again, so he did! If that's too much for you, then you could do the same thing at a bowling alley where they can play the games and stuff...
