The Ultimate Top Surgery Party Guide
Top Surgery Cake Ideas
There are so many clever cake ideas for celebrating this milestone. You can bake your cake at home using round pans like these to create some delicious bodacious mounds. You could also make cupcakes and have everyone decorate them as an activity!
My partner wanted a specific cake so they could serve it by cutting off boobs with a mini saw cake knife! Neither of us are bakers so we hired our favorite vegan bakery in Philly to make this custom cake and they did a fantastic job. Apparently the bakery toyed with filling the boobs with raspberry jam and I kind of wish they did! But that’s my sense of humor, I guess.
Top Surgery Party Games
I was surprised there was so little info on games! So we co-opted some party games from similar events: Pin the Nip, Boob Weight Raffle, and an Encouraging Note Station. You can instantly download and customize these game printables for $5 on my Etsy shop!
Pin the Nip on the Chest (a take on pin the tail on the donkey) was such a hit, it had everyone laughing and cheering! I used brown craft paper to sketch out a chest and torso. After cutting out each areola, I stuck a bit of sticky tack on the back of each and popped them in a ziploc until game time!
We created a Boob Weight Raffle (like a baby weight raffle) for our guests to guess the total weight of my partner’s chest after removal. I provided my Venmo QR code and asked everyone to pay $5 to enter and this made the process SO easy. When we found out the weight, I simply sent all the raffle money to the winner!
An encouraging note jar isn’t a game per se, but I saw this idea from a mastectomy party and loved it! Basically you set out paper, pens, and a jar and ask attendees to write an encouraging note for post-surgery. I’m so glad I threw this together last minute! My parter read these notes during the most challenging days of their recovery and they were so special.
Top Surgery Party Decorations
As far as decorations go, you have two routes: everything boobies OR everything boobies + medical equipment. Your sense of humor will guide your choice here! You can find lots of decor on Etsy too. Just make sure to check with the person of honor so they are comfortable with the decorations!
Decorations aren’t a must but they are a fun touch!
Top Surgery Gifts
Gifts at a top surgery party? Heck yes!! People always want to bring something, so you might as well give them some directions. The gifts you ask for will depend on what you need. My partner didn’t have any cozy flannels for recovery, so we asked everyone to bring one flannel shirt and it worked out so well!
Having a basket full of all of the essentials was one of the smartest recovery ideas we had. Everything my partner needed was in reach and I didn’t have to run around the house looking for the Tylenol. So a top surgery gift basket with a nice sturdy container would be a great idea!
Some other great gift ideas:
Food delivery gift cards
Body wipes
Ice Packs
A cozy blanket
A wedge pillow
A themed card
Back scratcher
Medical adhesive remover
What to say to someone getting top surgery
If this is your first time celebrating someone getting top surgery, you might not know what to say. The big thing to remember is that your loved one needs nothing but support and encouragement. You can also buy them a specific top surgery card with a sweet message inside. Here are some things to say:
I’m so excited for you as you take this step towards your authentic self
I’m so proud of you for making this decision
I’m here for you
Please let me know how I can support you! I can bring you food, go grocery shopping, come by for a walk, etc.
This is the right decision for you, and you’re going to look amazing.
