Fun 40th Birthday Party Idea - The 40 Things Party
How about a “40 Things” party? This is a party where guests are encouraged to bring 40 of something. You can be nice and say that the 40 things each represent a great year, or you can be silly and suggest that you wanted the birthday boy to see just how many years have gone by.
If guests are wondering what to bring, you can send them to this page. Here is our list of ideas for what you could bring.
