40th Birthday Card Ideas

Forty is a milestone worth celebrating in style, and this set keeps it classy with a touch of humor: a copper 'big four-oh' badge, a colorful confetti '40', a 'forty and fabulous' design, and an elegant floral wreath.

For a warmer, more elegant feel there's a soft candlelit '40' design too.

Pick the one that suits the guest of honor, write a message that celebrates the milestone, and print a folded card at home on one sheet of letter paper.

Click any example to open the Foldy Cards maker with the artwork, message, and print orientation already filled in.
