yeh, it just feels a bit forced i think.
really cba arranging and inviting everyone to a 40th, surely its to old to be having one of them.
My mates are going away next year for there 40th's to Vegas, which i will be joining.

I was 60 in November and would've loved to have an old school house party, acid punch, banging tunes, the lot.
Unfortunately the wife is not up to it so that never happened.
What i did do was sort some tunes out to be played in my mates bar then told close friends and siblings would be in there from 1am til 5ish if they fancied popping in for a drink. no pressure on me or anyone else and we ended up having a blast. Went back to mine with a few mates and carried on so the wife could join in a bit.
 
Birthday parties are a load of bollocks, Personally I don't see the point in them, Even more so for 40th, 50th, 60th or 70th whatever is it, Nobody wants to go to them either...

Tell her you want to go away for a week/long weekend with just her

OR

You want a nice dinner with a few of your close couple friends (no more than a table for 8 or 10) at a high quality restaurant.

We did the former for her 30th and the latter for my 40th and we still talk about how much we enjoyed both.

I hate parties like that. People don't really want to go either but feel obliged to. I fucking hate it when a DJ plays stupid games and tries to get people up to participate. I have to be so pissed to get up and dance. My ex wife used to try and get me up to dance, saying I was boring because I didn't. Prefer to be a bore than look fucking stupid!!!
Its your day do what you want. Could have a cracking weekend away for what a party would cost.
If mates want to celebrate with you just have a piss up in a pub.

Fuck that. You're 40 not 18, and even at 18 I wanted to be in town getting fucked up in Long Legs.

Can't think of anything worse than spending my 40th entertaining random cunts in a room with a DJ playing the best of Abba.

I'm off to Italy for 4 days for mine. Cost a damn sight less than feeding Ray from work and his fat **** of a wife

Birthday parties depending on where the kid wants to have the party costs £15 a child other places close to £20...Normally between 10-15 kids attend.

Me personally I prefer getting the kids something they'd really want present wise, I brought my young lad to the boxing and got him loads of boxing gear he wanted that instead of a party, The daughter birthday fell on the same day as City v Wolves so we went to the game and she went wild in the clubshop...

I'd rather give then both £250/£300 to spend on stuff that they actually want than paying that money on a party especially that they only get to run around for a fucking hour.

Everyone is different and I can understand people's philosophy on parties but they just aren't for me, I actually got a surprise 30th many years ago, I walked straight back out the door...I genuinely don't know why they'd organise it as they know what I think of parties.
 
Mine fell on Easter weekend three years ago (my Bday tends to fall on Easter weekend on average probably around once every six years or so) and went on a proper four day bender: pub on the Thursday, Town on the Friday, Wembley on the Saturday, pub on the Sunday!
