A surprise party is always exciting if you are planning a party for your near one’s 40th birthday.
An over the hill party will be just appropriate, and can be great fun with black decors, mock tombstones and over the hill cakes with messages like “Oh, no! I’m 40!”
A party celebrating the life and activities of the 40 year old birthday boy or girl can be a good idea. You can publish a book carrying old snaps from family albums, and poems or stories on the person whose birthday it is. Invite contributions from friends asking them to write about the moments they had shared with him or her. These booklets would in fact, make excellent party favors.
Black and white theme would again be a mocking reminder of the passing youth. Oversized black and white photos of the person can stand around the room to bring a nostalgic air to the party.
It can be a 60’s type party to commemorate the birth year. Ask the guest to dress up in the 60’s fashion. Bright decors and bell-bottomed guests dancing to a lively 60’s rock and roll will really set the party rolling.
If the birthday is in the summer, a beach party will be a cool idea. Scuba diving, surfing and a sunset cruise will just complete the fun! You can even set up an indoor beach party with the guests dressed in Hawaiian costumes.
A masked ball would be a unique 40th birthday party ideas. The guests are sure to enjoy dressing up and dancing with unknown partners. Masks on a particular theme would do even better.
A charity party would be a good act on your 40th birthday. This would be a good idea if you are running low on your budget.
Since it’s the 40th birthday, dividing the party in four decades can be a good idea. You can include elements from all four decades in your decorations.
The 40th birthday is a milestone in your life, so set the party rolling while you watch out for what life brings you in the second innings.
