Happy birthday! Here are some coolest and brightest birthday themes that will make you smile. From a happy new year to a special day for your loved ones, these themes will get your heart racing and your toes tingling. So let’s get started!
The Top 40th Birthday Themes
There are many options for your 40th birthday party theme. Depending on your style and personality, you could have a Boho picnic, 80s party, Superhero party, or even an 80s theme. There are many ways to make your party a unique and memorable one. There are many things to consider when planning your party, including the location, food, and decorations. Listed below are some of the best options for your 40th birthday party.

BOHO Picnic Party
One of the hottest trends in party themes is the boho picnic, which is the perfect choice for your 40th birthday celebration. Picnics are the ultimate laid-back celebrations, and boho picnics are no exception. Guests will love the whimsical atmosphere and bohemian-themed decorations. There are many ways to plan a boho picnic, from using recycled materials to adding your decor.
A boho-style picnic is just as fun if you prefer an indoor option. Aside from being able to enjoy the outdoors, indoor picnics are more comfortable and free of insects. Aside from enjoying a picnic without bugs, you can also hold a retro movie night indoors. You can play classic movies while guests enjoy a retro snack spread. Another option is to hold the party outdoors on a patio. You can set up a drive-in-style movie theater if the weather is nice.
Superhero Theme Party

If your son or daughter is turning forty, why not have him celebrate it as a superhero? These superheroes have superpowers and unique gadgets. This party will be fun and exciting, especially if you can incorporate the superhero’s likeness in all the decorations and food. Make sure you know the superhero inside and out before throwing the party. Get to know the story, color, logo, alter ego, home, and sidekicks. Include some superhero games, such as a superhero slam ball.
To decorate the party location, create fun decorations and activities to make it a memorable birthday for your son. You can make superhero masks using a template and two pieces of felt in black, red, or blue and yellow. You can also hang a bat signal from the ceiling with an elastic band. The children will have a blast playing with their superhero masks on the tables and will have a blast! Superhero-themed decorations are easy to make.
Car Theme Party
If you’re a big fan of cars, then you’ll love a 40th birthday car theme party! Use black and white checkered finish line flags and show off your favorite tires as decor. Hang up signs like “Route 40” and “Yield for Party.” A car theme party is also perfect for a car fanatic, so set up a loaded nacho bar filled with cheese and tortilla chips. Pizza is another classic choice for a birthday car party.

80s Theme Party
Whether you’re celebrating the milestone with a group of friends or throwing your 80s theme party, you can do plenty of things to make your event stand out. Consider bringing back some of the fun and glitzy 80s party accessories. Neon patterned backdrops combined with gold accents and fun cutouts will add a vintage touch. Alternatively, you can rent arcade cabinets to give your party a vintage 80s vibe. Arcade cabinets can be set to play limited or free play, which will be a great way to get your guests involved in playing.
The 80s theme party is one way to bring back fond memories of childhood. Make the party as fun as possible by providing a range of fun party favors. Choose those that reflect the interests of your guests. Package them in themed favor boxes and even include a link to an 80s playlist on your social media profiles.

Old Stomping Grounds Theme Party
A 40th birthday is no time to call it “over the hill” and celebrate in style. You’ve got plenty of friends and family to celebrate with, and the following party ideas will help make it memorable. One idea is to throw the party in your loved one’s old “stomping grounds.” Recreate a school environment by incorporating decorations, recipes, and photos of the birthday person. Guests can even reminisce by holding up pictures of their younger days.
You can ask your guests to dress up as their favorite Disney characters for an even more unique party idea. A theme like this is a throwback to a childhood celebration, and you can easily incorporate some Halloween decorations. Or, you can throw a Halloween-themed party and invite your guests to dress as their favorite superheroes or witches. Whatever you do, make sure you include a lot of Disney characters.
