Just get lots of booze and drink at home after kids go to bed.
Have people send you funny age 40 gifts or write you notes about why they love you.
Create a fundraiser for an organization that helps women over 40.
Call 40 friends and reconnect during your birthday month.
Splurge on a safe spa day. Mani-pedi, massage, hair & maybe make-up. Get dressed up & take pictures to post even if you can’t go anywhere.
Do a boudoir shoot or Glamour Shot (if that’s available during the pandemic).
Can you have an outdoor party with a few close people where you live? Make a punch or cocktail with something 40 proof.
Have friends stock your liquor cabinet with 40 bottles of wine, beer, soda, or any other favorite libation.
Schedule a giant celebration after everyone gets vaccinated and can hang outdoors.
Have a beach party or pool party and play various “do you remember” type games.
Have everyone come dressed in fashions from the 1940s, play movies from the forties.
Host a dinner for 40 of your closest family and friends.
Play Top 40 hits.
Have a farm/ranch/cowboy-cowgirl theme on the “back 40.”
Have a destination celebration with your significant other and/or a few fun people. COVID may keep you from Hawaii or Bali, but a night or a weekend at a B&B or fancy hotel (note that most pools & spas are closed, and most breakfasts are pre-packaged to go), a carry out dinner from a fancy restaurant, a challenging hike to a waterfall, a day at an iFLY place (if they’re open & disinfecting), a day trip to a city to see outdoor attractions and whatever else may be open during the pandemic.
Forget having a theme & just have a fun celebration with cake and champagne (or sparkling cider) with folks in your bubble.
