How to plan a surprise party on facebook?

[Katrina W]

I want to plan a suprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I thought it would be nice to invite all his friends. I'm not friends with all of them on facebook, but obviously that owuld be the easiest way of inviting them all! Is there any way of doing this? Like messaging them all or secretly creating a group he can't see and inviting them all?

I don't think there is any easy way to do this on facebook. Everything that you do is pretty much public, except sending direct messages. You can send a message to multiple people, if that works, but I think you need to be friends with them. Your best bet is to find one of his good friends and ask him to help coordinate and ask his other friends.

You just check the "make this event secret" option on the step 2 customize page. then only people you invite can see it.

As the person above me stated, you can make the event secret. Make sure you warn his friends not to post about the party on each others' walls. A friend of mine found out about his surprise party because some of his friends mentioned something on someone else's wall, and my friend saw. Be careful!
