Using Facebook for Surprise parties?

Factual Questions
1

Let’s say my wife is on Facebook, we’re friends on Facebook, and her surprise birthday party is coming up.

Is there a way for me to put a posting out to all my Facebook “friends” but ensure that she doesn’t see it?

Thanks.

You can make the event private so only the people who have been invited can view it. Just uncheck the “make public” button when you create it.

If you wanna make a status about it, write your status and before you post it, click on the little lock sign. Click customize and choose Specific people. Then find Hide From These People and put your wife’s name in the box. Ta-dah, everyone but your wife will see the status.

This is also fun for the inverse. Know a secret about one of your friends? Write the status and choose specific people and put their name in the box. Post the status and watch the hilarity as your friend panics about your loose-lippedness.
