A 40th Birthday is an exciting milestone, and one worth celebrating with those nearest and dearest to you. They say life begins at 40, and there is no better way of embracing life than to throw a great party for your 40th Birthday!

As summer draws to an end, you’ll want to make the most of lovely hot summer days and warm nights. So why not keep everyone chilled by having a pool party? Get guests to bring their bathers, towels, and take a dip to cool off. We know all the kids will want to swim, but the adults who prefer to stay out of the water can sit back in the shade with a cold beer or a bottle of bubbly while they watch the kids have fun.

If you have had a look around our site, you will know that here at Discount Party Supplies, we have a really huge selection of kids' party supplies. There are lots of fun ranges on a variety of kids' party themes, from cartoons to fairy-tales. However, while small children are easy to please, slightly older ones can be a different matter. Once they hit their teens, throwing a party can be a tricky balancing act: it has to be fun and upbeat, while seeming a little more grown-up to their friends. We have a couple of ideas to help you strike the perfect balance.

A baby shower is always a wonderful, happy occasion, and a chance for your friends to treat you before a new member of the family comes along. At Discount Party Supplies, we know that lots of new parents are on a tight budget and won't want to break the bank with an expensive party just before junior is born. That's why we have one of the biggest selections of good value baby shower party supplies in Australia, with plenty of fun accessories and decorations to create the fun atmosphere you want.

If you are planning on doing some Christmas entertaining over the holidays we have a great selection of tableware and decorations in Christmas colours.
