40th Birthday Party Ideas For a Sensational Celebration

Is a 40th birthday party coming up and you're at a loss for
ideas? Here are a few tips and ideas to help you get started.

You can create your own invitations by drawing 40th birthday
theme such as "40" or over-the-hill gag themes.

A great themed 40th birthday party is 70's memorabilia. Have
beanbag chairs handy for a groovy gathering. Share old stories
about the guest of honor.

Wear bell-bottom Levi's or Wranglers or go all out with your
leisure suit. Feather your hair like Farrah Fawcett or Andy
Gibb. 

Have the guest of honor wear a birthday crown or Happy Birthday
hat. Be sure to complement their outfit with an "over-the-hill"
cane.

What should you serve? Have a table with punch, both spiked and
plain. Foods can be easy finger foods, such as chips and dip,
veggies, and cheese and crackers. If you want to put in a bit of
extra effort, offer sundaes or create a soda fountain in the
corner of the room. Serve your food of choice on these tie-dyed
party plates and tableware. Drinks can be served in psychedelic
light up glasses.

An easy choice of games is to play a game of 70's trivia. There
are several available including Trivial Pursuit 70s/80s editions.

Play clips from 70's TV shows or movies and competing teams
guess first what movie/show the song was from.

70's karaoke is lots of fun and gets everyone laughing.

Complete the night with Saturday Night Fever karaoke and disco
contests. Happy 40th!
