The big 30th birthday is a very special occasion for many. It can be a huge milestone signifying true adulthood, although many view turning 30th as a deadline. By the time you hit thirty you’re supposed to have a good job, house, mate and so on and this artificial deadline can cause some people to be sad on their thirtieth. There is no need for this. The big Three –O should be a time of happiness and a chance to reflect on how much has been accomplished in your life and on your own schedule.
A fun party to hold on the 30th birthday is a reversal party. Frost the cake and put it upside down on the platter, put those candles in upside down, have everyone wear their clothes inside out. This is a great party because of the stereotype that turning thirty means becoming mature, when in reality it means whatever you want it to mean. Guests bringing presents to a reversal party can give a few gag gifts like an unpresent or simply an empty gift wrapped box.
Have that upside down cake on some really colorful paper plates with 30th emblazoned on them. Don’t forget the cups, napkins and tablecloths. The How Old Pens make great party favors to hand out. They are nifty little pens that can be personalized with a rotating message such as; ‘Jack is 30/On September 4th’ that guests will love to take home with them. The average How Old Pen can hold four lines of birthday message.
The 30th year is also considered the pearl year. Have a party that matches this idea with an Under the Sea theme. You can put up banners with the happy birthday message on a background of fish, sand or an oyster with a pearl in its shell. You can also find colorful napkins, plates, and tablecloths with tropical fish on them.
