    Life Begins at 40! Party theme

    Published: Jan 26, 2021 by Heidi Fowler. This post may contain affiliate links 6 Comments

    #40th #Birthday {Life Begins at 40! Silly #Party Theme}

    Do you ever feel like you're forgetting something?  I do.  A lot.

    In addition to Valentine's Day, we had company from out of town, and it was my hubby's b-day.  While he was out running errands, someone said, "Hey, is Steve turning 40 today?"

    Oh, my goodness!  Yes!  I totally forgot the milestone. We quickly brainstormed and came up with a clever theme for an important day.  No gloom and doom for us.  Instead of "Over the Hill" -- which he is definitely not  -- we went with "Life Begins at 40!"

    40th Birthday {Life Begins at 40! Silly Party Theme} 2

    To go with the "life begins"--why not a baby theme?  A bottle of Gatorade got a baby bottle top, some yellow balloons got a makeover, and we were ready to go.  I know.  Silly, but it made for a great and cheerful 40th b-day theme!  I guess I could have wrapped up a package of Depends, but maybe that would have been a little too much!

    #40th #Birthday {Life Begins at 40! Silly #Party Theme}

    Have you ever tried to take a picture of balloons outside on a windy day?  Forget about it.  It's impossible!

    Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

      Stopping by from a linking party because I'm turning 40 next month. EEK! I like the idea that "life begins at 40" much better than being "over the hill!"

        Happy Birthday, Bonnie! I turn 40 this year, too. We are definitely too young for "Over the Hill" parties, don't you think? Forty is young!
