Around the World in 40 Years Birthday Party! #amazonfinds



If you’re ready to throw the ultimate 40th birthday bash, an "Around the World in 40 Years" themed party is the perfect way to celebrate this milestone. In this blog, we'll share five key steps to ensure your party is a huge success!


Set the Scene with Global Decorations: This party theme requires a bit of research into the guest of honor, but it is well worth it in the end. The idea is to find out all the places your birthday honoree has traveled, even the different neighborhoods where they’ve lived. Then tailor the entire party around their 40 year journey of different destinations and experiences. 


Transform your party space with decorations inspired by the significant countries and cultures. Hang international flags, string up paper lanterns in vibrant colors, and scatter travel-themed props like vintage suitcases. Hanging a world map with pins of all their destinations makes a fabulous focal point and topic of conversation for the guests. Consider adding a photo booth with props representing significant landmarks from their travels, such as the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, or Taj Mahal.



Craft a Menu of Global Flavors: Treat your guests' taste buds to a culinary journey around the world with a menu featuring dishes from the places they’ve visited. Offer a selection of appetizers, main courses, and desserts inspired by different cultures, such as Italian pasta, Mexican tacos, Japanese sushi, and French pastries. Setting out a big bowl of international treats and sweets is a fun way for guests to grab and go. Don't forget the cake and let it be the star of the show, after all, this is a milestone birthday celebration!.



Curate a Playlist of International Hits: Set the mood with a playlist of music from around the world, featuring popular hits from different countries and regions. Mix it up with a diverse selection of genres, including salsa, reggae, and Bollywood, to keep the energy high all night long. Consider a Bluetooth speaker with multi-region radio to bring a variety of music from different regions to the party. 


 

Plan Fun Activities with a Global Twist: Consider hosting a trivia game but customize it with questions about your guest and the places they have traveled or lived. You could also create a personalized bingo game where the squares represent something significant about the birthday person’s life and experiences. Be sure to have a few prizes on hand for the party game winners. 




Offer Wanderlust-Worthy Favors: Thank your guests for joining the celebration with party favors that capture the spirit of adventure and exploration. Consider giving out small travel-themed gifts, such as luggage tags personalized with a birthday message or mini world map boxes filled with candy.




Ready to throw the ultimate birthday adventure for your friend or family member? With these steps, you'll be on your way to hosting an "Around the World in 40 Years" themed party that will leave your guests feeling like world travelers.
