The next time you are in charge of planning a birthday party, try not to stress too much over it. If you are trying to come up with ideas on how to ensure that it is a 40th birthday for someone special, then consider throwing some type of a theme party.

One suggestion is to consider the person’s age, gender and personality, as this will help you come up with a theme for the party, thus ensuring that everyone has a great time.

For example, for a “Sweet 16″ get together, consider a Glamour Shots type of party complete with gowns, gloves, makeup, etc. This is a perfect birthday bash for your teen as they can get dressed up in whatever they want and apply make-up and then be ready for their close-up.

It is a good idea to start gathering different types of clothes and shoes; a thrift shop is ideal for choosing some clothes. It is advisable to have each girl bring their own brush and make-up or you can purchase individual kits for each girl and let them keep them as party favors. You can make a copy of the pictures and include them with a thank you note from the birthday girl.

Another great idea for a themed birthday is “Movie Night.” You can create movie ticket type invitations (Admit One) and perhaps include the birthday boy or girl’s name in the title of a movie. Check around for some scrap carpet that is red. Many times if you go to a carpet store and tell them what you are doing they will just give it to you.

On the day of the birthday bash lay down the red carpet as much as you can between the driveway and front door so that guests can walk the red carpet. No movie night theme birthday bash would be complete without a red carpet so check around and see if any carpet store has scraps of carpet available.

For an unforgettable winter birthday bash consider a beach theme. For the invitations, purchase several beach balls and write the party information on them in permanent ink with instructions to blow them up when they are received.

You can also ask everyone to come dressed in beach attire, Hawaiian shirts, etc. You can hang beach towels on the walls, scatter some seashells around the room and hang fish nets for an authentic feel. For a truly amazing effect, if you don’t mind the mess, you can cover the floor with sand.

birthday present
Party planning for a teen’s birthday can be a little intimidating, but consider creating invitations done in calligraphy style, rolled up as a scroll and tied with a ribbon inviting everyone to a Medieval Time birthday party.

Perhaps have a birthday cake that has been decorated as an elaborate castle and have friends dress as King and Queen to greet the guests at the door. For a great birthday that will be remembered, consider making a birthday cake that is a castle masterpiece with circular turrets and small flags placed on it.
