Not to toot our own, but — toot! toot! — we’re sort of professional surprise party planners. Detectives envy our secrecy, our lips are always sealed, and our surprise party invitations — they don’t leave a trace of evidence.

Here’s a bit of not-so-classified information for you: Our paperless invites don’t use RSVP cards, address labels, or stamps. No paper, no evidence.

So put us under the microscope all you want. These surprise party invitations won’t be found.
