40th Birthday Party Supplies in One Theme
This collection keeps things simple with the essentials for a 40th birthday party: The Big Four Oh can coolers, foam cups, frosted plastic cups, stadium cups and napkins, plus a birthday party welcome sign. Because they're all the same theme, you can mix and match quantities without worrying about anything clashing.
Drinks for Every Kind of 40th Birthday Party
Think about how your guests will be drinking. Can coolers are perfect for a backyard party or a cookout with beer and seltzers. Frosted plastic cups have a polished look for a cocktail party, foam cups are an easy choice for a big crowd, and stadium cups make a great keepsake guests can take home. Many hosts order two styles: can coolers or stadium cups as favors, and foam or frosted cups for the bar.
Napkins and a Welcome Sign to Finish the Look
The Big Four Oh personalized napkins dress up the bar, the dessert table and the cake cutting. Plan on at least one or two per guest for each round of drinks or food. A birthday party welcome sign at the entrance greets guests and makes a great photo backdrop for the guest of honor.
How to Plan a 40th Birthday Party
Start with the guest count and the setting, whether that's a backyard, a restaurant room or a night at home. Order cups or can coolers for every guest plus a few extras, then add napkins and a welcome sign. If you'd like more designs or a different style, see all of our adult birthday party decorations, the Milestone Age designs that work with any number, or a playful Forever Twenty-Nine theme.
40th Birthday Ideas for a Surprise or a Big Bash
For a surprise party, have the welcome sign ready at the door and the cups set out before the guest of honor arrives. For a bigger celebration, set up a drinks station with stadium cups and can coolers so guests can grab one as a favor on the way out. Either way, a single theme across everything keeps the photos looking great. Shop more birthday party cups or birthday party napkins if you need extra pieces.
Making the Guest of Honor Feel Celebrated
The best 40th birthday parties put the guest of honor front and center. Personalizing the cups, can coolers and napkins with their name turns ordinary party supplies into part of the celebration, and gives friends and family something to remember the night by. Set the welcome sign where everyone will see it, plan a toast, and let the theme do the rest.
