Celebrate Their 20s and Look Forward
When looking to plan a 30th birthday party, it may be useful to first look back over their 20s so that you can find ways to celebrate the right way. Think about how their 20s were and what key memories stand out. For example, if they graduated from university in their 20s, then you could look to incorporate some elements from their university days.
A person’s 20s will usually consist of many memories and events, for example, they may have gone on a memorable vacation. If they had gone somewhere like Hawaii, you could look to get some Hawaii elements and vibes into the party, especially if it’s a vacation they very much enjoyed.
You can use this 30th party as a means to look forward ahead to the rest of their lives too. Depending on their sense of humor, you could look to remind them of how old they’re getting but be sure to do so sensitively, if they are a sensitive individual.
