I am thinking about having a surprise party for my boyfriend. I was thinking we will go to dinner around 7ish, then when we returned, everyone would be at the house for the big surprise (I'd have someone organize everyone while I was gone). Because the party will be so late, and we will have just eaten dinner, I thought serving cocktails and desserts would be appropriate. What drinks and desserts should I serve? Is this too 'wintery' for early May??
THANKS! Very Happy

I had champagne and a fabulously decadent german's chocolate birthday cake for my husbands' last birthday.

I thought, "Scheduling nightmare."

Suppose the Birthday Boy wants to linger over dinner or do something silly or romantic or colorful after dinner?

Meanwhile, you are dragging him willy-nilly to a SURPRISE.

Unless you can clone yourself to be both a Best Beloved and a Hostess in two separate places, think again.

She can feign a burst ovarian cyst.

Seriously, she could right after dinner say...ooooo....something didn't agree with me...please get me home.....
