There is nothing like seeing a surprised look on the mom-to-be! Surprise baby showers can involve a little extra work, a lot more secrecy, but they can also be a lot fun!
If your party goes as planned it will offer an unexpected and delightful surprise for your expectant mom. But, before you start planning consider the following:
Has the mom-to-be registered for baby gifts? If she hasn't it will make gift purchasing much more difficult. You may need to list the help of her mother, sister or close friend to find out what she is in needs for the baby.
Is your expectant mom the type of person who enjoys

surprises? If she isn't you should stay away from this type of baby shower. You want this day to be special and enjoyable for your guest of honor.
Will it be difficult to enlist family and friends in keeping the secrecy? Let's be honest, some people are better then others at keeping secrets. If you know someone close to her tends to let secrets slip, it might not be worth the stress of trying. Some family members and guests may not support the idea of a surprise shower either.
Will arranging a cover story to ensure the mom-to-be will arrive on her special day be difficult? You would hate to go through

all the trouble of planning a secret celebration only for the expectant mom to catch on to what is happening hours before the shower.
The job of planning the perfect surprise baby shower requires more than one person. You will need to enlist the help of those closest to your mom-to-be. Talk with her partner, mother, sisters and best friends. They will be able to help determine a good day and time for the surprise baby shower. As well as help get her to the shower on time, dressed appropriately, and with the least amount of suspicion.
The location of your celebration plays an important role when planning a surprise baby

shower. Try to hold the party at a place the expectant mom normally visits and feels comfortable going to on a regular basis. A close family or friend's home would be ideal. It will make creating a cover story for dropping by on the day of the party less suspicious. Remember to ask your shower guests to arrive early and park away from the house to ensure your guest of honor isn't tipped off at the last minute.
The most often asked question is: "How do we get our expectant mom to the shower without raising suspicion?"
Here are a few suggestions:
Ask Her Partner To Participate In The Surprise: Her partner

could suggest a romantic evening out for the two of them before the new baby arrives. To lessen her suspicion, consider holding the shower at a public place, like a restaurant.
Schedule A Non-Conventional Shower Day or Time: Catch your expectant mom off guard by planning the shower at a non-conventional time. Such as in the morning or right after lunch.
Send a Decoy to Keep Your Expectant Mom Busy: Have a close friend or family member take her to lunch on that day. While they are enjoying their meal, you can be welcoming the shower guests.
Keep in mind that you may want your expectant mom to know someone
