40th birthday: 7 ideas to celebrate
40 years old, that's worth celebrating! We celebrate both the end of our thirties and the entry into a new decade. The 40th birthday is symbolic! Here are our 7 favorite ideas to inspire you to organize a 40th birthday party that is out of the ordinary.
A distinguished birthday party with the services of an in-home chef
If you're thinking of throwing a fancy party at home, the services of a home chef are a must!
The cocktail reception package offered by our partner is sure to make a great impression!
At a cocktail reception, guests are not seated at a table. They mostly stand while the gastronomic team serves them a variety of appetizers. This assortment of sweet and salty, as well as hot and cold, delights make up an 8-course menu. This is a complete meal, not just a pre-dinner happy hour.
The in-home chef package includes:
- Plates
- Verrines
- Trays
- Utensils
- Napkins (disposable)
Not only is it simple, it's a great way to discover all kinds of canapés and add a touch of glam to your evening!

A moment of relaxation for his 40th birthday
The jubilarian is running out of time and seems exhausted lately? It's true that between the kids and work, it's hard to rest. For his 40th birthday, offer him a party with a relaxing theme.
The birthday party could be held in a zen cabin in nature. You could also enjoy a spa experience and a massage. The advantage is that you too can get your energy back.
You should know that there are also aesthetic and massage therapy services at home!
Celebrate a 40th anniversary on a trip
Celebrate her 40th birthday in style with a big or small trip!
Why not be a tourist in your own province and explore a new region of Quebec? You can rent a cottage and book some activities.
Want to go all out and have a bigger budget? A health and wellness retreat south of Tulum, Mexico, seems like the perfect option.
A costume party for its 40th anniversary
40 is the age of maturity... but that doesn't mean you can't have fun!
Choose a theme and invite family and friends to dress up for a costume party. These kinds of parties are just as much fun at 10 as they are at 40!
Here are some ideas for themes to adopt:
- Characters from TV series
- Chic outfit
- Superheroes
- Vintage (we advise you to choose a particular decade)
- Horror
To get your guests a little excited, just tell them that whoever wins the best costume of the night will receive a Crafty Cocktails recipe kit!
Remember to film their arrival to keep a nice souvenir of this evening!
A karaoke night
A karaoke party is a timeless classic, and with good reason. It's a great way to liven up any party. Plus, the performances are always quite comical!
