You can host a fun birthday party almost anywhere, but renting a perfect setting makes a difference. The Giggster app has the best venues; if you need more inspiration, consider renting a rooftop venue, private home, or upscale restaurant, or plan a brewery tour for the grand event.

Even if you think you've got your 40th birthday party venue figured out, look at Giggster's 10000 unique choices for more ideas. Here are the venues you can rent from our website for birthday parties.

Restaurants – Dine and Party at Once. Want to plan an exclusive dinner party for your best friends and closest family? Try an elegant rooftop cafe, a classy lounge with a kitchen, or a restaurant with outdoor patio seating.

Themed Venues – Special Parties. Celebrate your 40th in a special location that highlights your likes and passions. How about a rare car garage for an automobile enthusiast, an old Hollywood theatre for a movie lover, a haunted house for someone who adores everything spooky, or an art gallery for a person with a creative mind?

Homes with Backyard Pools – Locations to Enjoy the Sunshine. Pool parties are classic and always a great choice for birthday celebrations. From sipping signature cocktails by the water to tanning in the sun, you can never go wrong at a modern mansion or hotel with a heated pool.

Vineyards and Wineries – Classy and Beautiful. There aren't many locations more beautiful than a vineyard! Treat your guests to a wine tasting at a vineyard near the city, or reserve a wine shop with an in-house sommelier for the same experience.

Lofts and Warehouses – Creative Spaces. If you're an expert decorator and need a space with floor-to-ceiling windows big enough to transform into your vision, a spacious loft or empty warehouse can be all you need to create the perfect event space. Look at our photo shoot studios, which have great lighting, too.

40th Birthday Party Space Must-Haves

It's easy to want to book right away when you find a venue that catches your eye. However, double-check your must-have list to ensure the venue has all the basics before proceeding to the next step on your party planning to-do list.

Can the venue fit all your guests? Aside from having enough space for everyone to mingle in the venue comfortably, you have to consider if there's enough room for any birthday activities you have planned. Do you want a dance floor? And is there enough available parking for all your guests?

Where is the venue located? Try choosing a space your guests can easily get to, like a location in your hometown or somewhere that's a stone's throw away from public transit. If you choose a venue on the other side of the city, some people might find it harder to attend.

Does it have the right ambiance? Whether you're looking for a sophisticated party spot true to your age or want to let your inner child shine at a playful and fun venue, the choice is yours. Just make sure the one you choose suits the style you're looking for.

How to Plan a 40th Birthday Party

There's a perfect space to celebrate your 40th birthday, whether you prefer dining at a restaurant or taking a sightseeing tour on your birthday getaway. Using a checklist is your ticket to throw your best party yet!

Find the Perfect Venue – A night on the town suits a guest of honor who wants to let loose with a group of friends, whereas hopping on a plane for a weekend getaway favors someone longing for sun and sand. Understanding how the guest of honor wants to spend the day or weekend helps choose the best 40th birthday party space.

Create a Guest List – The harsh truth is you can't invite everyone to your 40th birthday party. Invite your closest friends and family, consulting your budget to determine your guest list size. Also, consider who can travel out of town or make the event a hoot and a half.

Choose a Theme and Decor – Attaching a decade to the theme creates a nostalgic atmosphere and allows guests to wear fancy outfits. The Disco Era ('70s), Decade of Excess ('80s), and Grunge Decade ('90s) are popular choices for a 40th birthday party. Work with a professional decorator to dress the space with thematic decorations.

Plan Games and Activities – Party games liven things, and the theme can guide your selection of crowd-pleasing activities. A game night fosters comradery and offers endless activities to engage guests. A casino night is a fun alternative for a shindig with guests of all ages, and you can make it a charitable endeavor by raising money for your favorite cause.

Hire Entertainers – You can set the mood with music playing throughout, whether from a band or DJ. A bartender can add some extra pizazz, doubling as an entertainer who can put on a show mixing drinks. Also, host a dance-off and toss in a surprise party guest to make it a memorable occasion.

40th Birthday Party Expenses to Plan For

Intimate gatherings and private events with massive guest lists come with expenses; what you want to prioritize for your party will help you determine your budget. Keep these hidden expenses in mind when planning your 40th birthday party.

What's the plan for food?

Are you cooking, or will you get a professional to cater a three-course meal? Make sure you've planned for everyone to be fed, and decide if you want a bar area for drinks and refreshments.

Plan for decorations.

Depending on the venue you choose, you'll want to decorate the walls and set up photo backdrops, streamers, balloons, or props to match your theme. Decorations can be costly if you want to go all out, but they can also add a lot to the party atmosphere.

Did you book entertainment?

Live music can be a super fun addition to a party, like a singer, musical, or dance recital. But if you can't afford live entertainment, set up speakers so you can play your music in the background.
