27th April 2019

So, you’re turning 30. There’s no better excuse to throw a massive party than this important milestone! Of course, you want to make your 30th birthday party epic and memorable for you and your guests. But if you’ve never planned a party before it can be difficult to know where to begin. Well, it’s a good thing that we have some experience in throwing amazing birthday parties and we can guide you through the process.

Let’s look at how you can start planning your epic 30th birthday party today and make sure that it’s a hit!

Choose a Theme

First of all, you have got to start off with the theme then you can move onto the décor and entertainment. Perhaps you have a favourite movie, such as the Great Gatsby, or want to go for something more general like a beach theme. You want it to be a fun theme that you love and that will be equally enjoyable for your friends. Of course, this could be a theme just for the venue or it could involve guests dressing up for the occasion. You can decide!

if you really want something different why not look at a retro themed party with real classic Arcade Games! You can hire these at Arcade Direct, an arcade game hire company in the UK.

Consider & Event Planner

Match the Décor

Now it’s time for the décor. If you are going for the beach theme, you can choose inflatable palm trees and beach balls. Décor that we’ve noticed is popular with a range of birthday organisers is the light up Love Letters. These look fantastic and are sure to make the room glow. They are individual letters with several lights attached. Just the sparkle you need for your 30th birthday and for an amazing backdrop.

The Entertainment

We all know that entertainment is one of the most important elements of a 30th birthday party. Of course, a lot of people go for a DJ to entertain the crowd. But you could also try out live bands and even performances from dancers or other entertainers. There are a lot of companies out there that can bring the magic to your birthday. If your party is outside and there’s going to be a mixture of age groups, we recommend garden games. This is a mixture of the classic games that everyone loves to play and that brings everybody together for some fun. There is giant Jenga for a laugh and to see how far you can go without knocking over the tower of blocks. There is also Connect 4, a game you are sure to remember from your childhood is you’re turning 30.

Consider the Drinks

Since it’s your 30th birthday, you’re going to want to celebrate with a few drinks with your friends. How about looking at the mobile bars you can hire for your special night? There are lots of fun cocktail bars you can choose from, offering a variety of colourful and delicious drinks for you and your guests to enjoy. Of course, since it’s a special occasion, you will want a glass of champagne or prosecco too!

Remember the Photography

You want to remember your amazing 30th birthday party. So, this calls for some photography for the special day! Why not try something different with a taxi photo booth? This is a classic taxi cab from the streets of London that has been turned into a fantastic and high-tech photo booth for your big day. It’s loaded with a DSLR camera to capture some amazing snaps of your friends and family. You can jump in the back of the cab and make some hilarious poses. It’s a lot less formal than a professional photography, which we think is a lot more fun for guests.

If the taxi doesn’t suit your theme, you can also check out the Magic Mirror. Just like the name suggests, this looks like a mirror but it’s no ordinary one. Instead, it’s a fun talking mirror that takes photos on your 30th birthday. It allows you to take full-length selfies with your guests and print out your photos to take home on the day or night. It’s so easy to use and why not consider adding some props to have a laugh?

Don’t Forget the Cake

No birthday party is complete without a cake! For your special 30th, this calls for a big feature cake that is going to be memorable. You could go for more than one tier or choose a fun design that represents your personality. There are some fantastic cake designers out there that can make it special and unique just for you. This includes anything from shoes and designer bags to flowers and Paris themed cakes. It’s sure to be delicious and you can share a slice with everyone at your party. It also gives you the opportunity to get the perfect photo of the night as you cut the first slice!
