40th Birthday Party Ideas
You know what they say, life begins at 40! So how should you properly celebrate this milestone birthday? You could round up your closest friends and family for a decadent meal or fun activity, or really spoil yourself with a day full of festivities. It’s your birthday, why not treat yourself!
There are plenty of ways to ring in your birthday, but here’s our 3 top ideas for those a little stuck for inspiration.
40th Birthday Party Idea: Decadent Dinner
A dinner party is the go-to option for someone who wants to celebrate with good food and good friends. But what will take your birthday dinner to the next level is a bit of luxurious self-indulgence - think a bespoke menu with multiple courses, wine pairings, and rich, lavish desserts.
A decadent dinner out is the perfect treat for a food lover's birthday, and there’s no stress from having to host your own party, the venue will handle everything for you.
40th Birthday Party Idea: Pastry Cooking Class
There’s nothing better than fresh pastries, but have you ever wondered what goes into making these delicious, flaky, sweet treats? Get hands-on, learn a new skill and enjoy the satisfaction of eating your very own hand-made pastries for your birthday. A pastry cooking class ticks all the boxes.
Sweet-tooth or not, a cooking class is a rewarding experience and gives you something you can take away from your birthday celebrations (instead of just a hangover). Gather a group of pastry-loving friends and book into a private cooking class, that way you can test your skills in a judgement-free zone surrounded by loved ones.
40th Birthday Party Idea: Boozy Brunch
Brunch is undoubtedly one of the best meals of the day, so why not take it to the next level for your birthday celebrations? There’s nothing better than enjoying your eggs Benedict with a mimosa or two. It’s your party, you’re allowed all the morning cocktails you want!
The added benefit of a brunch is that you can fit in a birthday sleep-in and arrive just in time for breakfast, coffee and some celebratory drinks, and who knows, maybe it’s only the beginning of your day-long festivities?
