40th Birthday THEME |
 |
In the past the 40th birthday marked the beginning of middle age for most people, but now a days with our ever increasing lifespan and healthy attitudes, forty has become the new twenty. Some even look forward to their 40th birthdays as a chance to show that they still carry a passion for life. Try coming up with some wild and unique ideas for your fortieth birthday party. Go rock-climbing, head out to a club with the old friends for the first time in years, take a piloting lesson or even go bungee jumping.
The ruby is the traditional stone for the fortieth year because old myth stated that the ruby red color came from an inner fire that the stones held. At forty you certainly still have that inner fire yourself. A party with a red theme can be great for celebrating the 40th birthday. And since red is the color of choice for this party, you may want to use a red hat party theme. Buy some ruby red 40th birthday dangles, scatter some red glitter around the party area, and even a multi colored metallic star centerpiece can accent the sparkle at the party, especially when its base is wrapped in red metallic foil.
A 40th birthday party can also be bold. You are the star of the event, after all. Look for napkins, plates, and table covers with a dark background and the number forty boldly printed on the front in a lighter color such as blue or purple. You can accent these with plain black plastic silverware. Even party invitations can be found with this bold look. And because this is a glamorous time in the 30 year olds life, it would be fun to make your theme into ahollywood glamour party.
Guests bringing presents to the party can focus on the ruby theme. If you want you can purchase a necklace or other piece of jewelry with a small ruby set in it. Or buy a ruby colored paperweight. Even the gift wrap can be that dark ruby red in color.

40th Birthday Party Music Play Lists
Music can help you get to know someone better on their 40th birthday. You can play the music softly while eating and socialize, and see if the guest of honor talks about a certain song that met something to them. You can also turn it into a fun and educational time to learn more about the person.
Decorate a sitting room with party supplies that represent 40 years ago. Pictures of the guest of honor are also great to post around the room. Have everyone gather around, and explain that you are going to play some songs from the guest of honor’s era. Play half of the song, and ask the guest of honor if they can remember where they were when they heard that song, or if it holds any special memories to them. If other guests have any memories about the song let them share too. Play the entire song if the guest of honor wants you to. This is a great way to learn something new about your loved one. Children also enjoy listening to these type of stories also, so invite the children to sit down with everyone.
A Boy Named Sue along with other older Johnny Cash songs makes great selections. Other songs could include: This Magic Moment by Jay and the Americans, and Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival. Also talk to people close to the guest of honor and ask them about favorite songs or songs that hold special memories.
