Surprise Party Invitations from Zazzle

There is nothing worse when a party pooper ruins the secret of a surprise party.

Well, Zazzle is here to avoid all that mess with our personalized party invitations.

If you are planning an elegant soiree, our stunning geometric templates or gold confetti styled invitations will be ideal.

How to word a surprise party invitation?

When it comes to surprise gatherings, you need to state the obvious to avoid disappointment. For instance, our popular shhh it's a surprise party invitations are a crowd favorite. Be precise with location details and give the guests a time gap to arrive before the surprise guest. As your invitations are double-sided you can add a list of do's and don’ts of where to park, what to bring and who (not) to tell as we all have a relative or friend who likes to blab. Get creative with our invitation templates and add as much or as little information as you like.

Are your invitations customizable?

All of our invitations are customizable. As surprise parties require vital information, feel free to unleash your artistic side by adding different shapes, icons, and varied colored fonts to really get the point across. If you’re celebrating a double event such as a pregnancy announcement, create an invite from scratch with our easy-to-use design tool or edit any of our existing templates. Add photos or vibrant backgrounds with ease and be one step closer to planning an epic party.

When should I order my invitations?

The most important point for organizing a celebration is advising the guest list. With surprise events, you dont want to give too much time, as the news could easily slip through the cracks. Our production and shipping times can vary, so it's best to check the listing times on our site. Make sure you select a shipping method that will allow you ample time to send out the invitations. Our suggestion would be sending them 4 weeks prior to your event to ensure you can confirm numbers for catering and more.
