Let’s get to planning with the best 30^th birthday themes for him that your guests will want to try out for themselves.

Birthday Party Food

Photo Booth

If there is one thing you need to have at this party, it is a photo booth/photo area.  I am telling you; your guests will have the best time with this so don’t skip it.  And you will love seeing all the pictures from this fun event as well.

You can keep it simple or get pretty crazy about it.

Some easy photo booth items that won’t break your bank but are still a lot of fun are these few items.

Back Drop

30^th Birthday Props

Other Fun Props

We do a photo booth for every party and holiday and everyone flocks to it.  So popular!

Walking Decorations

I got this idea from my aunt, she is so creative.  For my dad’s 40^th birthday party, she made shirts with various pictures of my dad on them for my siblings and me to wear.

All party long, guests were stopping all of us to check out fun pictures of my dad over the years.

She used white t-shirts and iron-on transfer paper to make them.

Birthday Pictures

Print a variety of pictures of the birthday boy throughout the years and hang them up everywhere.

Guests will have the best time looking at them all.  I am sure you will hear a few "remember when" with this one.

Dirty 30

This is about the easiest theme for his 30^th birthday party – Dirty 30.

Grab a 30^th birthday party decorations pack and add some plates and napkins – boom baby, you are all set.

Murder Mystery

If you are planning to have 10 or more people at this party, check out a murder mystery party.

You will be surprised how dressed up and into character your guests can be.

Scavenger Hunt

Divide your guests into teams and send them on a scavenger hunt around your town/neighborhood.

You can have them look for popular items, visit landmarks, and even have them buy a certain drink or snack.

You may want to set a few rules such as a time limit and photo proof with a team member in each photo.

This one is dynamite!

Karaoke

After a few drinks, anyone will do karaoke.  I have seen it😊. 

If you want to stay in, try this amazing karaoke machine.

Backyard Cookout

If the weather allows, have a backyard cookout.

Most guys love grilling up some yummy burgers, brats, hotdogs, and chicken.

What kind of grill do you have?  We have a regular gas one, nothing really special about it but it certainly gets the job done for a family of 6. 

However, I have heard so much about this Blackstone Flat Top Grill that it has me more than intrigued.  If you know about it, let me know in the comments below.

Oh yeah, don't forget about these amazing backyard games.  If you set them out then your guests will play them!

Corn Hole

Lasso Toss

Kubb

Spikeball

Axe Throwing

Destination Travel

Plan a trip for the birthday boy to somewhere he has always wanted to go.  It is the perfect time for a celebration vacation.

Wine Tasting/Brewery Tour

Book a party bus (or something like it) and go wine tasting or on a brewery tour.  The party bus lets everyone drink if they want.

This is a fantastic grownup party.

Outdoor Movie

Once again, if the weather is decent then you can set up an outdoor movie.  This movie projector and screen will do the trick for you.

Create a movie theater snack bar with a few items like popcorn, sweet treats, drinks, and any other goodies you can think of.

If it is bug season, do NOT forget to spray your yard.  Those little guys will ruin your movie before you even get it started.

Casino Night

If playing cards is something he likes, plan a casino night.

A nice set of poker chips makes for a great gift if he doesn't already have them.

Mexican Fiesta

I have yet to hear anyone say they don’t like a good Mexican fiesta and it is so easy!

A taco bar and Margaritas, bring them on!

Girl, margaritas aren’t my first drink of choice but let me tell you, the Margaritaville Margarita Machine is what you need to make the best ones.

Snag this full-sized sombrero for the birthday boy and these sombrero headbands for your guests to wear.

I also highly recommend a pinata or 2 if you have any kids coming to your party.

Camping

Whether in a tent or a camper, a camping weekend is a blast with friends and family.

We go camping with friends multiple times during the summer and everyone has the best time.

Sports

If he loves sports, set up going to a sporting event. 

Golfing

Guys and golfing seem to go hand in hand even if it isn’t their thing.  A good time seems to be had by all.

Go with some friends or drop him off with his buddies and be their ride back home later.  They will all appreciate a sober cab.

Concert

Concerts can be expensive but so much fun.  Tickets are a fantastic birthday gift.

Fancy Restaurant

Line up a cocktail party at a posh restaurant.  Everyone likes to get dressed up now and then.

Boat Dinner Cruise

Book a dinner boat cruise and let someone else take care of the whole party for you.  It is a great way for you to enjoy every second of the birthday party with him.

Bucket List Bash

Does he have a bucket list?  Let him pick something from it and you take the planning from there.

Game Night

Invite friends and family over for some board games.

Catch Phrase and Pictionary are so much for if you have a group.

Plan to have lots of appetizers, snacks, and drinks.

Color Themed Party

If your guy has a favorite color or 2, throw a color-themed party.

One of my good friends is nuts over red and black (she even themed her wedding in this) so everyone wore those colors.

Pirates

I know what you are thinking, isn’t this one for kids?  Nope, it doesn’t have to be just for them.

You can find some pirate Halloween blowups for your yard, have everyone wear costumes, and get decorations.  Lots of decorations.

Your coolers can become treasure chests.

80s Theme

Everyone loves a good 80s-themed party.  Ask everyone to dress up and then bring on the neon colors and play hair band music.

Add some fun decorations too.

80s Decorations

Party Sunglasses

Balloons

Roaring 20s

Get your flapper costume ready for this Roaring 20s costume party.  Your guy will look so dapper!

Turn your house into a speakeasy with a code word to get in and everything.

There are so many fun decorations you can choose from.

We had this party for my sister's bachelorette party and I half-dipped Double Stuffed Oreos in white melted chocolate and then sprinkled them with gold glitter.  So festive and delicious!

Disco Party

Leisure suits, Afro hair, and of course a disco ball are just the start of a fantastic disco party.

These photo booth props are amazing.

Ice Cream Social

Do you want a low-key and family-friendly birthday party for him?  Set up an ice cream social.

You can even go the extra mile and make the ice cream – so good.  This ice cream can be made ahead of time too.

Set up a toppings area with so many goodies such as sauces, candies, nuts, whipped cream, and fruit.

African Safari

This is way cooler than you are imagining it!  I know you have a little kid’s party in mind, and you are sort of right but take it to the extreme.

Decorate the inside of your house like a jungle with jungle-colored streamers, African safari balloons, and huge fake leaves.

Get animal masks for kids to wear, if they are invited.

We did this for my husband's 40^th birthday party and I am not sure who had the most fun – the kids or my husband.
