40th Birthday Party Ideas - Naughty Forty, Sporty Forty...
40 used to be the age when you were over the hill - although a
lot of people now think it's 50 because people are living longer.
Party Decorations
Party Ideas
You can choose a general theme from the list on the left or try
to make it a bit more specific with games like...
- Host a sporty forty party in the park or backyard and play some games!
Cricket, football, soccer and
basketball are easy to set up and most people know the rules. You could also include athletics such as running races,
relays, tug-of-war, and long jump.
- Get a photo of the birthday person from each year of their life and make
a poster for everyone to look at. You'll need the cooperation of their
family for this - and it's probably best if you don't raise any skeletons.
- Make a poster or list on a whiteboard of 40 things that happened in the year the birthday person
was born. See who remembers them and what they remember.
- Play 40 things. You can either get each guest to make their
own list and read them out or get a whiteboard and pens to do a
communal list. Try to include a mix of some silly ones for
laughs and serious ones too.
- 40 interesting things about the birthday person
- 40 nice things about the birthday person
- 40 favourite memories about the birthday person
- 40 things they are glad they did before they were 30
- 40 things they are glad they no longer have to do
- 40 things they want to do before they are 40
Food
- Have a cake with 40 candles - that's getting close to a forest
fire. Or 4 cakes with 10 candles each to mark the decades. You can
have a standard shaped cake and draw a 4 and 0 on with icing, their favourite sweets or make a template using greaseproof paper and sprinkle
coconut on the uncovered part. See our cake page for a
scrumptious butter cake recipe.
