surprise party
Secret guest gathering
A surprise party is a celebration organized in secret, where guests gather before the honored person arrives, then reveal themselves unexpectedly: We're throwing a surprise party for her fortieth birthday.
The element of surprise—often marked by shouting "Surprise!"—is the defining feature.
Success depends on keeping the guest of honor unaware until the moment of revelation.
