40th Birthday: Budget Decorating Ideas

Think retro for a 40th birthday celebration! Blast the party with color from party supplies with a multi-dot design to a glittered "40" balloon holder.

• Stack cool "40" cocktail napkins with a dot design on the bar to instantly get guests in the mood to party.

• Stay with retro patterns by using "typewriter letter" design square plates for cake or go for a laugh with "Happy Birthday...again" party supplies.

• Decorate with colorful helium balloons tied to glittered "40" balloon holders or hang a plastic bag balloon drop.

• Dangle bright polka dot and striped serpentine spirals from the ceiling.

• Add bling to party food and cocktails with colored mirror ball toothpicks.
