Those are GREAT ideas ladies. I did something very similar to Soror Zetafg. One New Year's Eve my old boyfirend and I went to dinner at a restaurant and then went back to his place. I sent him to get a "list" of things at the neighborhood store. While he was gone, I decorated the room with New Year's decorations, streamers, party glasses, hats, horns, etc. Then I double locked the door so he would need to fumble for his key and had on the door step his "invitation." He opened it and it was an invitation to an "exclusive" New Year's Eve party for him. He came in and I handed him a glass of champagne, fed him a morsel of chocholate, had the party music going and let the dancing and party start!
He loved it and this was great for me, cause I don't like clubs and big parties, and is something I will do again, with different variations (adding party games and making a dessert bar).
