They say they dont want to be surprised on their day, but they actually dont mean it.
Thats what the planners of a surprise birthday party should keep in mind, according toSocial Tables.
That said, checking should still be a prerequisite.

Not to abandon them and leave them alone, thats for sure.

A concert or a baseball match, for example.
