Milestone birthday ideas for all your biggest celebrations

A stack of cards sits on a white and yellow gingham tablecloth; the card on top has the number forty with an exclamation mark in white, against a backdrop of colorful lines.

Milestone birthdays are an excuse to go BIG. And if you’ve got a big birthday coming up (yours or theirs!) and are in need of some fresh inspiration, you’ve hit the jackpot, friend.

We’re talking themes and decor. We’re talking food and cake. (Yes, cake deserves to be separate from food, need you ask?) We’ve even got gift ideas and card message inspiration. It’s like a one-stop-shop for milestone birthday ideas. So let’s dive in and get to plannin’!

Of course, a lot of these milestone birthday ideas could work for more than just one celebration. So if you need extra inspiration, feel free to read through the whole list! We had a lot of fun putting it together and we hope you love it.
