40th Birthday Party Ideas
Life really begins at forty. At this stage of your life your children are growing up, you’ve got money in you pocket and you can start to do what you want for a change. Why not have a party to celebrate! There are various ways to celebrate here are some examples below:-
Surprise Party
Organising a party for yourself can be a real worry. Will everyone turn up? Will the music be catered for all ages? Will the food be ok? Will everybody enjoy themselves? By organizing a surprise party you are taking the pressure off of the birthday girl / boy. This leaves them to enjoy their party and not have to deal with the pressure and worry. The only problem is getting everybody to keep it a secret and somebody might let the secret out by accident.
Charity Party
I really wanted to do something really huge for my wife’s 40th but was as usual pretty tight on cash. My original idea was to hire her favorite singer and throw a party inviting close friends and families. Once adding up the cost I realized it was going to be far too expensive. I still wanted a party so I decided that the party would be there but it would be held for a charity event supporting an Orphanage that is very dear to our hearts. The venue were happy to rent out their accommodation for free and after making some calls and explaining that I wished to raise money for the Orphanage all the entertainers agreed to participate free. I invited about 100 guests and explained that it was a charity party and please could they make a small donation to the Orphanage, instead of buying gifts for my wife which they normally do. I only needed to pay for the food and little extra for the cake,decorations, and some miscellaneous expenses for the entertainments. The Party was a great success and we loved the donation that we could make also. We intend to do similar parties in future whenever the occasion arises.
