Plan a Fabulous 40th with Our Fun Celebration Ideas
Whether you’re planning your own fortieth celebrations or organising something for a best friend or partner, the big 4-0 offers the perfect excuse to create wonderful memories. We’ve come up with five ideas to help inspire a magical day shared with all the people you love.
Hold a Retro Party
A nineties-themed party is a brilliant way to roll back the decades and celebrate with danceable classics from your school years. Take That, Steps, Blur, Pulp…this is a fantastic musical decade whether you were into cheesy pop, grunge or indie. Scrunchies and slip dresses at the ready!
There are many reasons why we love the nineties, including the fact Tatty Teddy was created in this decade. Why not gift your favourite fluffy grey bear as part of the birthday celebrations?
Mix It up with Cocktails
Evening cocktails are a wonderful way to celebrate with friends and family, especially if you prefer a more intimate event without the hullabaloo of a big party. Many major UK cities offer rooftop cocktail venues with amazing views. But a DIY cocktail event can be just as fun. If you’d like to learn from an expert, you could even hire a mixologist for the evening.
Enjoy a Spa Retreat
Whether you book a luxury hotel or plan a pampering evening at home, take time to relax and reconnect with friends and family. If your budget doesn’t stretch to a weekend away, there are many ways to recreate the spa vibe in the comfort of your own living room. Our pampering gift set is a great place to start!
Throw a Pottery Party
Pottery parties are an entertaining and creative way to celebrate the 40th milestone. There’s the option to get messy by creating a clay pot from scratch, or spend the session painting an unfired plate, mug or pot. Whichever kind of pottery party you book, you’ll come away with a unique keepsake and plenty of happy memories.
Host an Afternoon Tea
Who doesn’t love an afternoon sipping tea (or fizz!) while feasting on fresh sandwiches, scones and cakes? For an extra special touch, hang bunting and fairy lights and serve tea using vintage china cups and plates. If you don’t have an old family tea set, why not search out cheap vintage ceramics in your local charity shop? And if you’re looking for the perfect gift to take to a 40th birthday afternoon tea, try this gorgeous, Tatty Teddy mug with wonderful Regency style illustrations adorning the gift box.
PS… Don’t Forget a Card!
Me to You 40th birthday cards feature irresistible Tatty Teddy artwork and a fun message for someone special. From luxury boxed cards to 3D-effect designs, you’re sure to find a card they’ll treasure.
