Birthday Ideas, and Hints for the Big 3-Zero
Turning 30 is a big deal, so the sweetest way to help a pal or loved one celebrate is by throwing a surprise event inspired by the guest of honor’s childhood. Think back on festive youthful activities like Twister, Manhunt and Girl Talk to center your party idea around. Just because we are getting another year older doesn’t mean we can’t remember about the past! These 30th birthday ideas
will make you and your guests feel like a child once more.
Whether you prefer a ready-made invitation, make one yourself or send one via e-mail, be certain to make it evident the event is a surprise and that the guest of honor should be kept in the dark! A fast way to invite a lot of friends, especially long-time friends of the guest of honor, is with an online invite. If you’d rather, send an invitation via regular mail, and be sure to give guests significant details such as their arrival time, and the arrival time of the guest of honor.
Load up the songs from back in the day, get the high school yearbook and make prints of those bad college photos mom and dad were never supposed to see! Work with the guest of honor’s dearest friends to come up with a playlist of music attached to his or her warmest and not-so-fond storages from the 80s, 90s, even the 2000s. Then, play a round of name that tune with a twist…the birthday girl or boy must guess why the song was selected. Play a game of true or false with statements from the birthday girl’s high school years. Create a video collage of the best and worst picture memories from the guest-of-honor’s college years. Then, see how many of them he or she remembers.
