30th Milestone Birthday Party Ideas
This birthday milestone is almost like celebrating your 21st year all over again. With the year 30 comes a rejuvenating time of life, in which you tap into your more youthful self and feel refreshed to be at this point in your life. With this feeling comes the opportunity for a fun, boisterous birthday party.
A popular theme for a 30th birthday party is similar to a bachelor/bachelorette party, with lots of bold colors and décor, and plenty of glitz and glamour. Crisp designs like chevron paired with brilliant hues of golds and silvers bring about a “Gatsby” type way of decorating and balloons aplenty are a definite must.
A main event table with the birthday cake and tons of other sweet and savory foods should be the center point for the celebration. The birthday cake should be on this table and it should be full of details that represent your personality. Incorporate your favorite colors, sports teams, books, or movies and finish off the look by putting a big “3-0” at the top, along with something extra vibrant like sparklers or giant sized candles. A tower of chocolate cupcakes with a thick dollop of frosting and glittering “30” toppers alongside plenty of multicolored macaroons and gold cake pops. Fill plates and jars with candies from the year you were born and set up a dispenser with champagne punch.
A DIY photo booth is something you and your guests will be happy you set up, and among the props, you should have a “3” and an “0” for them to hold in photos.
Party games are always a big hit and can be perfect icebreakers as well. Charades, card games, and especially games you played when you were younger are fun ways to celebrate your 30th.
Of course, party favors have to be a great takeaway and personalized with “30” as well. Whether you opt for chocolate bars, bags of candy, or actual accessories, be sure to give your guests something that will offer a fond memory of this 30th birthday party.
