I can't post this on FB because my husband would see it, but!!! I am throwing a surprise party for him this Saturday and I have kept it a secret!! =) FYI I am TERRIBLE at keeping ANYTHING from my husband. Anyway, I'm making a cake in the shape of an XBox with homemade fondant icing, my first time making anything this big homemade. I've made a 20 ppl guest list, got food being brought, AND his best friend he hasn't seen in almost a year is going to be there. It's suppose to be a "game night" with a "few friends." Just gotta figure out how to get him out of the house for an hour while everyone gets here. SOOO EXCITED!!!!! ^_^ I feel like an awesome wife. =) =)
Must Brag!!

You are so sweet to do this for him.
Perhaps to get him out of the house, ask one of his friends to drive him out to his favorite game shop or tool store or whatever and keep him there until it's time for his arrival. He'll think he's just getting a b-day present while he's out, but then he'll walk into a party when he gets home.

Get a family member to ask for help or take him to get beer, snacks, etc. for the "gaming party".

I will most definitely be back to post a pic of the cake. I do hope it turns out good. I'm not very good at cooking... or baking... or anything crafty-like. Lol. My sister has suggested that her husband offer to take him fishing for a little bit. A little man time. I think do him some good to get away from the house and work, and it'll give me time to set things up.
@js250: sorry to hear about your cat. I hope (s)he's okayy.

The more plans I make for it the harder it is! Like today while he was at work I made plans for his friend to come, and now he's home and I wanna be like "Hey, babe, Shane's gonna be here for your surprise party Saturday. Am I good or what?!" But then I think... I can't do that! That ruins TWO surprises!!
