Ideas for my Husband’s 40th? My husband is fast approaching his big 4-0 birthday and I am totally out of ideas of what to do to celebrate. We have a very small select group of friends but he does have a large family. I’d like to go out, maybe somewhere in Melbourne city, where we could have all of the family come to share in the celebration. Any ideas on what we could do or even things to avoid?

I hope the big 4-0 went well. I can’t see an update of how it went.

It is my brothers big 40 this year on Feb 29 and one of my other brothers said he wanted to go out as he is the only person in the family that doesn’t have kids . I think if it a large family with kids an option might be to hire out a hall with catering etc or go to a place where the restaurant is family/kids family . I don’t reside in Vic, but I am sure you will get a lot of suggestions .

Why not throw him a surprise 40th?
Melbourne is full of so many wonderful ways to celebrate a birthday.
I hope you have a wonderful time.

We are also looking at maybe getting a caravan and doing a big trip away

I’m trying to think of ideas for my husbands 40th now. top of my list is a night away with family and friends where the men can play golf during the day, us ladies can shop or have a spa day, then we all catch up in the evening for dinner and drinks.

A drive day (which normally include lunch). Guys tend to like sports cars.

You could have a BBQ at your own house and people can bring a salad or plate to share

BEst 40th I ever went to – she decided to revert to childhood! We had fairy bread and pass the parcel and musical chairs, and when you add some “adult” drinks in – hysterically funny!
