30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas

RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Post By Laura-Lee (Guest Post) (08/01/2008) Here is a party idea, that makes the guest think! Turning 30 or any special age, suggest that the guest have to bring a gift that reflexs the age the person is turning. e.g. 30 fishing hooks, or a $30.00 gift certificate. Let the guest be creative. Invite 30 guests or write a list of his/her 30 favorite things to do... Play with this idea and it is amzing the memories that you can create.

He is fascinated with everything about Jack Black, he also likes Indian stuff, he is a very quiet person, I have never made a party for him, so I'm kind of lost about what can I do for his birthday. I'm also thinking of not spending too much money.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Post By Scallywaginc (Guest Post) (06/07/2008) Sounds like everyone has a question about 30th's and no suggestions. Suggestions: A flag football game at a park for a football enthusiast. Have a hot dog vendor, and cotton candy machines for kids. Have cheerleaders, a score board and keeper, and even announcers following the plays. Play a half-time movie on a projector screen or funny super bowl commercials. Have everyone come in their favorite jersey and bring pennant flags (especially for those who don't want to play flag football). Have a trophy for the winning team and "team" photos taken. For the grown-up who likes to dress up but doesn't have any idea what to do once dressed up: throw a murder mystery party (buy the theme and directions at www.murdermysterygames.net). Everyone can have a part and you can get ones that don't require tapes to listen to (which are lame). Warning: these parties take a serious planner! For the poker enthusiast: A new club in Las Vegas is opening up and you're invited. Have card tables, dealers in shifts, fun drinks, good prizes for the most chips taken (or a buy-in with real money if people are serious) and cigars and chocolate. Put a karaoke machine in the corner for those who don't like playing cards and make sure you have a lounge area (for the ladies especially). If you have a hot tub, put a small fountain pump in the middle of it and surround it with plants, turning it into a water feature. For the tropical enthusiast: have a luau on the beach with something roasting on a spit. For the theatrical birthday kind, have natives or pirates invade the party. Pirates could be looking for a treasure chest that is buried somewhere on the beach. Natives could want a bit of your dinner in return for some hula lessons or tribal dancing. For the theatrical: throw a masquerade party in a garden. Everyone can dress in normal to fancy evening wear and come with a mask. If they don't have masks, consider putting up a small station where people can make masks (see your local craft store for items). If you're loaded, have a wandering violinist and good food. If you're not loaded, play some enchanting music. Make sure to have a spot for guests to see themselves in mirrors and take pictures. For the golf enthusiast: Have an old fashioned golf party either at a golf course or simply at a park. Set up several golf putting games and have prizes and an announcer. Put out shade tents and serve lemonade and finger foods. Everyone can dress in 40's golf dress such as knickers and long skirts. It looks great and everyone has a blast. For extra fun get some golf tees or golf balls or visors printed with your own special message. Warning: be sure to tell people where to get costumes or give them sufficient notice to find costumes. For the whole family: have a carnival. Get friends and family to run a few booths. Strategically placed (with shade tents) you can get away with five or six games. Have prizes, hot dog, popcorn, and cotton candy machines, a mini petting zoo, mini golf...pretty much anything goes. To make it look more colorful use fun beach umbrellas. Hand out tickets for extra fun. For the kids: have a water park theme with slip n' slides, blow up water slides (found at any toy store), plastic wading pools, beach balls, and even sprinklers. Parents can sit around under umbrellas on beach towels and watch the kids entertain themselves for hours. Remember sunscreen! You can go on forever. Just remember that your party can be anything you want it to be without spending a ton of money. Just make sure you pay attention to what your birthday guy or gal really wants and don't make the party about everyone instead of them. If they want to rent ten movies, twenty pizzas, five friends and a keg....do it. They'll be happy and so will you :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Post By sarah (Guest Post) (03/21/2008) I want to throw my husband a 30th birthday party with a back to school theme is there any good ideas you can come up with?

Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Post By Lindsey (Guest Post) (09/21/2007) I've had a couple of great themed parties. They both worked really well. A children's birthday party for big kids was great fun. We all dressed as our favourite children's character and played games that we hadn't done since childhood - pass the parcel, musical statues etc. and instead of plain jello and ice-cream try making the jello with flavoured vodka! The other great success was my superhero theme. My husband doesn't "do" fancy dress so came as Clark Kent turning into Superman. All he needed was a Superman t-shirt, his shirt pulled open, glasses and his hair slicked down. It was a great look! Have fun whatever you decide.

This went on for over 2 hours. It was a BLAST!! Report Spam or Abuse RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Post By Sheila (Guest Post) (07/25/2007) I 'm in the same boat, but you might like these ideas. How about gifts specifically focused to his hobbies? A "boat" party with corresponding decorations? The invitations ask guests to bring a gift relating to boat. Print the invites in the shape of a boat or a life vest. Include a list of boat items as potential gift ideas. Not everyone knows what goes with a boat. If you go with a jet ski theme hold the party at a lake. " Bob is skiing into the turbulent water of the 30's! Help us celebrate at Lake Woebegone!" Bonfire, cookout, there's lots of possibilties. How about combing the two? Boats and jetskis? Rent some extra skis, have people sign waivers and have an ironclad 'alcohol/ NO drive" ski rule. For entertainment I bought a variety of karaoke tapes, oldies, country, motown, about 5 altogether and the idea is to involve everyone. YOU sing a special "love" song to your husband. If you're going to use this idea you need to write a list of all the songs so guests can choose which one they like (make several copies) and the words in large font should be available as well. This can actually be a lot of fun. No volunteers? Blind fold a guest and have them pick contestants at random. There's some good ideas from different people. Have fun!!

Haermoni from Vancouver Answers: RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas How about an 'alphabet party'. You can pick any letter from the alphabet or pick two (maybe your initials?), then everyone has to come in fancy dress as something beginning with the chosen letter (or letters). This would work well for kids also. People can be as tame, imaginative or smart with this theme as they like. By jojo RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas I have done several parties for my hubby. I really don't have a theme per say but I make sure there is something going on at all times. I hired a caricature artist, I had pinatas one for kids and one for adults (I filled with scratch tickets, pens, note pads, cigars, plastic nips, etc. I had a psychic doing readings. Costly but everyone still talks about my party.

We had a Mexican food theme (burritos, tacos, chips and salsa, etc.) and for fun had a pinata. Everyone loved hitting the pinata - it was sort of a "kid at heart" kind of thing. It was a great time. (04/15/2005) By Becky RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas For my husband's 30th last year we had a video scavenger hunt party. Everyone who came was put into teams and they had to take videos or pictures of things on a list. The items on the list all had to do with either the number 30 (i.e. find 30 coins, a sign with the number 30 on it) or things from my husband's past thrity years (i.e. a picture of the place where he had his first job, someone had to sing a song that was on the charts the year he was born, a picture of his first school, act out a scene from one of the top movies the year he was born). You can come up with endless ideas of stuff to find. Everyone loved it! The videos are now a great record of everyone having fun and everyone also learned a little more about my husband's past too. If you have disigtal camers you cna watch the videos/pictures as soon as the groups return, but if you don't have them then buy disposible cameras and send them in to one hour developing. just have dinner/dessert and then go pick up the pictures. (04/15/2005) By Trix RE: 30th Birthday Party Theme Ideas Find that persons interest or hobby that they like the most. Try to make a theme out of it. Like my husband loves motorcycles. The party theme for his birthday is a motorcycle theme.
