40th Wedding Anniversary Party Ideas

With your 40th being celebrated with ruby it would be difficult not to include this beautiful red colour in your party theme.

When decorating your party you could use ruby as your main colour, great for a winter anniversary as it brings a warmth to the room.

Flowers are a lovely way to add colour and what is more romantic than red roses? If you are looking to do the decoration yourself a simple way to decorate a table is to use red rose petals and scatter them over the middle of the table, if you want to do this hours before the party you may want to use silk or dried petals. You could then use vases or arrangements of the roses on more prominent areas.

Balloons are another easy way to add colour, a simple table cluster is easy to do yourself. Hire a gas cannister and buy the balloons from a local balloon or party shop, you will also need ribbons to tie the balloons and something heavy to weigh them down.

Entertainment for your 40th wedding anniversary party should be anything you want; bands, dj, or if you have talented family and friends you could think about an open mic night. Remember to tell them about this before the evening!
