hubby's birthday is coming up

Put a sign on the fence, saying FINALLY REACHED 40, COME HELP ME CELEBRATE. Then have another sign saying, REASONS 40 IS A FAMOUS NUMBER. Then put a picture e of a football player at the 40 yard line, a picture of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, a picture of a guy sleeping wearing a night cap (forty winks), etc. That is all I can think of, but that will give you a start.

well, make the cake look like a tombstone & have someone - preferably another pastor - do an eulogy over it.... best if it could be a suprise party - but hard I had a friend that wanted a party - espcially a surprise party so bad she wasn't just hinting, she'd say things like "How can I have a surprise party when I keep asking for it?" Well, I managed to pull it off with the help of a BUNCH of friends, having the party at someone else's place and having friends bring her back into town in time for the party. After the party was going I asked if she had ANY idea how hard it is to pull off a party when the GOH keeps asking for one?

What about items that all represent 40? You could have 40 of each item like 40 party favors, 40 guests, 40 candles, 40 balloons and so on. Hope he has a great birthday.

does he have any hobbies? interests? that would be the route to go. my family attend a baptist church and we have been to some fun parties...such as a theme (like nascar) use your imagination!! (how about a little boys party? or this is your life? (this was your life???!!!) lol!!

You could have some type of theme party if he has a favorite sports team or favorite group or musician, even a group from the past would be a lot of fun. I guess a comedy-burn party wouldn't be appropriate.

About a month ago the Pastor's wife of the church I belong to decorated up his van with Happy 40th birthday! The thing was it was only his 38th. This way everywhere he goes that day he will have to display that it is his birthday! Though you may get stuck cleaning it! UGH Then you get those lawn ornaments and have them put in the front yard annoucing his 40th!

Have the first letter of his name and everyone coming has to dress up in something that the letter starts with. A lot of fun! Good luck and have a nice time.

hi carpenter!!! wow! happy birthday in advance to your pastor-hubby. maybe you can ask some close friends and church mates to make notes and to read them allowed during the party. i think that would be a really touching gestured. and like any servant of God, i think your husband would really need encouragement, words of comfort, and touching words. God bless you both and your family! take care always! :-)

I also think suprise party is the best. I think you should not tell him about any party in the morning when he goes to work. You should then decorate the house with red ballons with heart sympols and other ballons. You can also ask some of his friends or relatives to come for surprise party. Well you can then put some party snow when he reaches the house. Then you have some good food and birthday cake. Switch on the music that he loves at the home. I think most people loves surprise parties.

first,do you know what does your hubby like best about the gifts,CD,HF,and so on,then invite some friends of his join the party..wish your hubby enjoy the coming birthday and happy your marriage

Spend alot of money of drinks casue he will mostlikly want to get drunk. But this would be nice to do. Have a nice dinner out with him and all his friends and all split bill. Then you go to the clubs and party the night away. Or the strip club either one is good i am sure for him.

I guess you couldn't have a stripper there then.I heard a lady at work say she hired a stripper for her husband.
