I am currently planning a winter wonderland themed wedding for 1-15-11.  My hubby to be is a Halloween baby and this year he will be turning 30.  I have started the planning process of having a costume themed birthday bash as a big surprise.  So all of a sudden out of the blue he says "how funny would it be to have a 30th birthday surprise party for me and when everyone shows up we surprise them by getting married.  So of course my mind starts going and I'm actually starting to think it would be a good idea....and TOTALLY something we would do.  My question for all of you is...Would you be mad if you showed up for a 30th birthday bash and ended up being at a wedding instead?  I need your honest opinions please help me!!

    I wouldn't be mad- but I might not show up at the party if I already had other plans, whereas if I knew it were a wedding, I'd cancel the plans and go to the wedding instead.

    I wouldn't be mad if I showed up.

    I'd be very mad if it was a close friend or family member and I had other plans and figured "well, it's just a birthday party, I can just take them to dinner next week to make it up to them" and then found out I missed their wedding.

    Plus, DH usually has work on the weekends, so for a party, we usually show up late, or I go early and then leave in the middle to pick him up. If he knew it was a wedding, he'd just make sure he had off that day. Obviously, in the case of a surprise wedding, if we weren't in on the secret and he was scheduled to work, there's a good chance 1 or both of us would miss the actual wedding.

    I think it would be awesome, but as others said you may not have as high of a turn-out.

    Honestly, I think it's a bad idea. Like PPs have said, people are more willing to sacrifice other commitments to go to weddings, whereas birthday parties are oftentimes skipped in the event of a conflict or travel. Since his birthday is on Halloween, I foresee many guests skipping it. Guests with children will take them out for candy so they probably wouldn't show up.
