40th Birthday Ideas?
I turn 40 soon, and I still haven't decided what to do for my birthday party. Anyone have any great 40th birthday party stories? Good ideas?

Thanks in advance.

5. Happy Birthday to you as well!
Pretty sure nothing up my wife's sleeve. Unless she's being really really sneaky.

12. lol! my 41 year old hips and knees agree with you
The best part about being over 40 is being able to predict the weather by when your joint pains flare up

8. Opera gloves.
Regardless of your gender, by 40 you have earned the right to wear them.

11. This is what I did for my 40th.....Check this out!! Woohooooooo!!!
:D Tandem skydive from 18,000 ft: 90 seconds of freefall at 120 mph!!! It was TOTALLY fun and a great metaphor for leaping into my 40's with wild abandon!! :bounce: I then had an outrageous party with 100 of my closest friends and showed the 9 minute video of the jump itself, set to very cool music. My hubby came up with a great idea of doing a timeline posterboard, called "The Time of her Life" with all the different decades marked out and my friends could mark where they came into my life and write a silly story or whatever with different colored markers. It was a VERY clever idea and gave everyone the chance to participate in creating something really cool and unique. I still have it as a cherished momento. :thumbsup: I hope you have FUN no matter what you decide to do! :hi:

16. Awww
Sorry to hear that MassDem. I hope you will get yourself out of the house and least have some fun. Or at least do something really nice for yourself.

Happy Birthday!

14. My husband surprised me with a trip to Puerto Vallarta
for my 40th. We were living in CA at the time and it was July, so it was cheap to get there and it was hotter than hell :-). But we made some friends who are still friends today (this was in 1992).It was a great birthday.
