Our 8-year-old wanted to do a surprise birthday party for my partner, and being a properly perceptive and empathetic child, started the process by telling her something like, "I know you don't like surprises, but I want to give you a surprise birthday party, so I'm telling you a week in advance so you can be surprised." And it did not involve any extra people.
