I really need ideas for my sisters 40th birthday, she's not very adventurous so that rules a fair bit out, but I'd like it to be memorable and special. All ideas are welcome. :)

A Casino style party is fun. I went to one for my friend's 30th birthday. The hostess rented the tables with the dealers. We played with chips and the person with the most chips at the end of the night won a prize.

You can get lots of other ideas from this web site:

MUSICAL CHAIRS WITH A DIFFERENCE
OK THIS ONE IS EASY. ITS EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS.
GET THE CHAIRS OUT.WHEN MUSIC STOPS. BEFORE THE CAN SIT DOWN THEY MUST GRAB AN OBJECT FROM THE ROOM.
OBJECT IDEAS.
SHOES, SOCKS, LIGHTER, CAN OF COKE, CAR KEYS, AND IF YOUR DARING A BRA( EVER SEEN A GIRL GET HER BRA OF FWITHOUT GETTING HER TOP OFF)

SO PLAY MUSIC. STOP MUSIC THEN SHOUT OUT OBJECT. STARTING WITH THE EASY ONES. UNTIL YOU GET DOWN TO THE LAST 2. WITH LAST CHAIR......IT HAS TO BE THE BRA....HAVE FUN...OH AND ITS GOING TO BE MY 40TH ON CHRISTMAS DAY.....AND I WILL BE HAVING THIS AT MY PARTY....

A fun 40th birthday party is a 70's theme. Your party will certainly be remembered when everyone has to come in their bell-bottoms! The 70's are definitely "in" now with lots of interest in the dress and fads.

You can decorate with an informal gathering of bean bag chairs and disco bead curtains at the door entryways. Play clips from 70's TV shows or movies and competing teams guess first what movie/show the song was from. 70's theme parties are really popular and go over well with guests of all ages.

Thanks for the replies, Nancy...I liked your idea for a party relating to teenage years, sorta like reliving the past and having a giggle at what we all used to wear etc, that's a different idea :)

People seem to want to do party themes on the era someone was born, but it would be so much fun to do something on the era someone was a teenager, whether 70's or 80's. A 70's disco or 80's Dynasty style party would be fun. Everyone could dress the part and have food and music from that era. Since our teenage years are usually pretty memorable, it would be fun to have a party that would be memorable, too. After all, the over the hill partys are done way too often.

I just came from a 50th party where the birthday boy's wife had this very creative poem hand lettered on a big poster board using candy bars taped to the board in the appropriate places. The sweet treats are in ALL CAPS in the "poem."
Do you hear SNICKERS from those around you?
Do you feel your bones CRUNCH?
Are you getting ZERO sleep?
Is your memory gone because your head's full of ROCKS?
Do you have trouble remembering WHATCHAMACALLIT?
Do you have BUTTERFINGERS?
Is all your ENERGY NOW gone?
Well, some may say you're at that age beTWIX youth and senility!
Don't be a crybaby at turning 50!
Now that you're getting CHUNKYY, you may not TAKE 5 and have MOUNDS of fun.
The MOMENTOS that you get will remind you of your age.
So INDULGE yourself and get GOOD-N-PLENTY drunk and SKOR lot of laughs.
After all, you're still aM-AZING and worth 100,000 GRAND.
So, grab a BIG CUP and have a few CHUCKLES and party your BUNS off and have an EXTRA Happy 50th birthday!

I just had my 40th birthday and my sister and daughter got together and told everyone they knew to send me 40 "items" in the mail. This started like 2 weeks before my birthday. I got everything from cotton balls, to pennies and stamps. It was a lot of fun. Took me a couple packages in the mail before I figured it out tho.

The funniest game I ever saw. Get a blindfold, a metal spatula, a big metal mixing bowl and a large bag of cotton or faux cotton balls.

Scatter the cotton balls on the floor. Blindfold the participant. They have two minutes, or whatever, to pick up as many cotton balls with the spatula and put them in the bowl as they can.

Try this out before the party. You'll see what I mean.

We once surprised a friend by having the party at HIS place. I lived next door; had lifted a key. I took him out to dinner while everyone else was getting his place ready for the party. Everytime I started to go home he kept looking around, because he was expecting a surprise.

He looked all over the restaurant, even checked out the Men's. Finally, we went home. Boy was he surprised! He even got his place cleaned. Not a bad deal.
