40th Surprise Party - Not over the Hill

My BIL and I are trying to put together a 40th surprise party for my sister. She is a little touchy about her birthdays and doesn't usually celebrate them, but this year she has expressed wanting to celebrate.

We are trying to think of fun ideas for a theme etc, that is NOT "over the hill" but that would incorporate fun food and theme with minimal decorations.
Besides, a Luau or Life is a Beach theme, does anyone have any ideas?

TIA

    • You could go fancy and do a breakfast at tiffany's type thing. - have everyone dress in cocktail attire....
    • Have a dessert party - decorate in pinks blues and whites and have cup cakes, tarts, pastries, cookies....what ever you can think of.

     

     

  • I like the cocktail party suggestion.  That'd be cute!

    If you're considering daytime, you could do a nice luncheon or brunch - make it garden theme with potted plants and/or supermarket flowers.  Decor could be simple.  Just keep everything white except for the flowers.

    If you're considering something less low key, how about a "40 Fiesta" with a taco bar, margaritas and pinata?  Pick a couple of bright colors like yellow and red for cups and plates and you're all set and you won't need much decor.  Just put your efforts into making a nice display for the food and drinks.

     GL!

  • Hows about a tasteful non-kitschy themed regular party? Party!!!
