bean bag : For a Sensational Celebration

Is a 40th birthday party coming up and you're at a loss for ideas? Here are a few tips and ideas to help you get started.

You can create your own invitations by drawing 40th birthday theme such as "40" or over-the-hill gag themes.

A great themed 40th birthday party is 70's memorabilia. Have bean bag chairs handy for a groovy gathering. Share old stories about the guest of honor.

Wear bell-bottom Levi's or Wranglers or go all out with your leisure suit. Feather your hair like Farrah Fawcett or Andy Gibb.

Have the guest of honor wear a birthday crown or Happy Birthday hat. Be sure to complement their outfit with an "over-the-hill" cane.

What should you serve?

Have a table with punch, both spiked and plain. Foods can be easy finger foods, such as chips and dip, veggies, and cheese and crackers.

If you want to put in a bit of extra effort, offer sundaes or create a soda fountain in the corner of the room.

Serve your food of choice on these tie-dyed party plates and tableware. Drinks can be served in psychedelic light up glasses.

An easy choice of games is to play a game of 70's trivia. There are several available including Trivial Pursuit 70s/80s editions.

Play clips from 70's TV shows or movies and competing teams guess first what movie/show the song was from.

70's karaoke is lots of fun and gets everyone laughing.

Complete the night with Saturday Night Fever karaoke and disco contests. Happy 40th!
