1. Make a List of their Likes and Dislikes for the Surprise Birthday Party

The one thing that you’ve got to jot down for the surprise birthday party is your brother or sister’s likes and dislikes.

2. Plan Surprise Birthday Party Location

A location for a surprise birthday idea for your brother or sister can be your home or their favorite restaurant. Their likes and dislikes will give you an idea of the decorations and theme you can set. If you plan the surprise party at home you have the liberty to decorate as much as you want. And also decorate according to the theme you’ve chosen.

For example, if your sibling likes superheroes you can use decorations that represent the color of their favorite superhero. And also put an eye mask on all the balloons for that comic book vibe. But if your sibling has been craving a beach vacation, bring the beach home by giving the décor a Hawaiian touch by decorating the place with leaves and tropical fruits. 

If the birthday surprise ideas for your sister or brother do not include any specific decorations, you can always opt for some balloons and ribbons or DIY décor.

P.S. Make sure you occupy your sibling for the duration before the party to get time to decorate. You can also take the help of their friends.

This is one of our favorite surprise birthday party games. This game starts with preparing a list of fifteen Hindi songs with their first lines translated into English. For example, The rain of the weather, the water of the rain (Yeh mausam ki baarish, yeh baarish ka paani). Distribute this list to each of the players. So, the one who is able to identify a maximum number of songs correctly is the winner.
