| you may want to mark your birthday somehow. | | | | a racecar around a racetrack, or a trip in a hot air |
| Because the 40th birthday is so significant you may | | | | balloon. These are one off events organised through |
| need some kiler creative birthday ideas and in | | | | a specialist company and are ideal as a special 40th |
| particular 7 40th birthday ideas any one of which will | | | | birthday present. As far as creative birthday ideas go |
| go down a storm. | | | | this takes some surpassing. |
| First of all you could organise a themed party which | | | | Need more 40th birthday ideas? Why not get tickets |
| could be fancy dress or may just represent a | | | | to your favourite sport , or favourite band, or the |
| decorative theme. This could reflect the era when | | | | theatre. Then go out for a meal with the one you |
| you grew up such as the eighties including the big | | | | love. Treat yourself, treat someone else or your |
| hair, electronic music and shoulder pads. Equally you | | | | family - you are only 40 once! |
| could choose a specific theme for your decor guiding | | | | My fifth suggestion is to get away from it all on a |
| your guests as to what to wear. Try and movie | | | | themed weekend - such as a murder mystery |
| themed party where your guests dress up as movie | | | | weekend, or a spa break designed to relax you. |

| decorated like a film set. Whilst this is the one of the | | | | priced weekend packages. |

| for creativity) it is also the hardest work but as 40th | | | | somewhere out exclusively for you and your friends |
| birthday ideas go it can be the most rewarding. | | | | - a yacht, a manor house, a nightclub, a bowling alley |
| Number two on the list is to go away for a | | | | - anywhere you can be all together but still 'doing |
| weekend, a week or longer - perhaps to somewhere | | | | something' |
| that you have only a childhood memory of, or | | | | And finally to number seven. There is one final entry |
| somewhere you have always longed to go. What | | | | on my list of creative birthday ideas and that is to do |
| about going for the weekend or even longer. London, | | | | nothing at all. Do nothing on your 40th birthday! Have |
| New York, Paris, Munich (as the song goes) all await | | | | a lie in, watch telly, get a takeway, read a book, |
| your visit! | | | | watch a movie, get drunk. Do absolutely nothing or |
| Third on my list of great 40th birthday ideas is an | | | | as little as possible for a day. This could be the best |
| 'experience day' - sometimes known as a 'red letter | | | | of all the 40th birthday ideas! |
| day' where you can go and do something you have | | | | |
