30th Birthday Ideas


1.  Rebecca's Film Festival Birthday Party - A few months before the party they sent out a call for entries to all her friends asking for submissions of shorts under five minutes. Then she rented out the Victoria Theater in the Mission and hosted a film festival.
2. 30th Birthday for Lovely Lindsay - We supplied some of Lindsay's favorite snack foods + drinks, potted little plants in votives for favors, and gathered photos of Lindsay throughout the years to use in creating the large number "30" on the wall.
3.  30 and Flirty - 3o sounds so young these days so we did a grown up version of a little girls party for this 30th birthday dinner.
4.  30 Years, 30 Wishes - A 30th Balloon birthday party as life has been filled with countless blessings. So, in celebration, spreading happiness and connecting with others with the help of a little helium.On each card was a hand-written message from one of my guests to the balloon’s finder.
5.  Circa 1980?s Cassette Tape 30th Birthday - An amazing 30th birthday party for a man that will knock his socks off!
6.  80's party - The party was totally awesome and turning 30 is pretty rad!



7.  30 and Fabulous - A rustic, farmhouse style brunch for one of the loveliest ladies in town.
8.  Confetti Invitations  Template - A creative way to make an invitation.  Create the words as a confetti on a string but you could easily just do a small square piece of paper and just fold it up.

30th Birthday Party for Guys


9.  Matchstick Candle - A very big 30th birthday candle served as our fire starter, which I made by gluing matches onto a scrap piece of wood.
