Outdoor Decorations

For a 40th birthday celebration, here are some creative birthday party ideas that anyone can do! I hope you enjoy these simple entertaining and decoration ideas for outdoor parties.

Table Seating

When planning an outdoor celebration, consider the table seating first.

My birthday party was completely self-contained. Yes, I moved 30 chairs and 5 tables outside and did much of the decorating myself.

I purchased grocery store flowers and paper lanterns for my table after finding some gorgeous vases and candles for half price at Michaels. Pink, orange, and purple were easy choices for this pretty girl because I enjoy bright colors.

DIY Centerpieces

My centerpiece table decoration was built from tree branches that were spray painted black and covered in hilarious images of myself from the past.

To hide the bottom of the glass vase, which had rice in it to retain the branches, I wrapped it with ribbon. I also created small wine glass labels for each of my friends.

Lighting

Outdoor party decorations that are bright and colorful will enhance the festive atmosphere. Use or purchase reusable lighting and fabric elements, such as round boho blankets that can be tossed over outdoor seats and tables and then used at the beach or to decorate your walls once the party is finished.

Party Dishes

Because most 40th birthday celebrations are for adults only, getting the food and drink just right is key. Signature drinks should be served, and the components should represent the birthday honoree’s own style or taste preferences. Include many of your guest of honor’s favorite meals, but feel free to reinvent them with your caterer or venue chef to make them more party-friendly.

You may keep the menu classy while making a reference to those childhood favorites the birthday boy or girl has enjoyed all their life, whether you opt to transform cherished dishes into bite-sized appetizers or add gourmet ingredients to offer a touch of elegance.

Party Cakes

Keep these ideas in mind while you browse photos or lists of 40th birthday cake ideas for someone you know. 

Choose a cake that you’re confident in your ability to make. If you’re just starting to decorate and don’t have a lot of supplies or haven’t polished your skills, choose a simple design that you can do effectively in a short amount of time.

Consider the birthday boy or girl’s personality. Is he a fan of bright colors and patterns, as well as tacky cake toppers? Choosing a design that is appropriate for him or her will result in a cake that is both memorable and successful.
