40th Birthday Fancy Dress Themes

40th Birthday Fancy Dress Themes

Remember that “life begins at forty”, why not have a big party! Fancy dress  is always a daring thing but is well worth it. When organizing a fancy dress party remember to send out the invites well in advance because everyone will need to organize a costume. Luckily there are loads of places online that will allow you to be creative and customize your invitations.

Here are some fancy dress themes for 40th birthday party:

  • Surprise fancydress party: parties becomes more memorable if it is a surprise party. It must be ensured that all the invitees are aware it is a surprise fancy dress party and the invitees should join the party in fancy dress so the suspense remains till it is announced.
  • Hawaiian party. Everyone can dress up in coconuts and hoola skirts
  • Famous couples – why not dress up as Posh and Becks or Batman and Robin.
  • C List celebrities. This is easy for guests as they can use their own clothes to dress up as ‘the pink ladies’ from Grease or ‘Stacey’ from Eastenders
  • Pirates
  • Cowboys and Indians
  • Emergency services. Why not dress up as a fireman, nurse or policeman
  • 80’s theme with big curly perms and flowering clothes
  • School theme. Get the shirts and ties out!

Our favorite place for fancy dress is a large online retailer called Jokers Masquerade (LINK). Check them out.
