The surprise party was planned in a clandestine manner, so my mother never found out about it until we yelled "SURPRISE"!

I think something done in a cladestine manner is done in a deceiving way, with a negative impact on whoever is being left out. So although the meaning is technically right in your sentence, the connotation may be a bit off.
