Write him a letter telling him all the wonderful things you love about him. Try to get 30 – for his big day.

Use this iron-on transfer paper.
Try to use a different picture of your birthday boy throughout the years on every shirt.

If this sounds like you right now, go with a birthday brunch.
Some fantastic adult beverages can include a Bloody Mary Bar and Mimosas. Oh, and don’t forget about the Irish Coffee.

Request that your guests bring the picture along so everyone can see the comparison. This is such a hoot!
Dress As The 1st Letter Of Your Name Costume Party
It is hilarious to see what your guests come up with.
For example, Brian – B – Bob Ross or Heather – Hot Dog.

We transformed our home into a jungle with the help of the following decorations.

The guys had a blast because we set out a bunch of Nerf guns so they could go on a safari to hunt all the “animals”, and the kids were laughing the whole time trying to get away.

30th Birthday Activities
In case you didn’t get enough with the 30th birthday party themes and are looking for some fun activities to include, girl, I have you covered.
Go Out To Eat
Want to have a budget friendly party but you don’t want to have it at your home? Easy – reserve a party room/area at a restaurant.
You don’t have to clean anything! I am all for that.
My sister in law did this and put right on the invite that they were providing only the dessert.
Guests were responsible for their food and drinks. It is a great way to keep costs down.
You know what? Everyone was cool with it!
And did I mention, you don’t have to clean anything!
Camping
Does he love spending time in the great outdoors? Ask a few close friends or family to go camping with you.
Spend your time hiking, biking, trap shooting, and hanging out by the campfire.
Cabin
You can also book a cabin. There are so many that will hold a larger group these days.
Fishing
Book a guided fishing trip.
You could also spend a few hours on the lake near you.
Bucket List Activity
Everyone has a bucket list. What is on his?
Let him pick something from it and you take care of the planning.
Extreme Sports
Skydiving, bungee jumping, and zip lining – oh my! If he is looking for a rush, this is it!
Remember, you don’t have to do it too. You can just be the supportive driver.
Helicopter Tour
Let him get a different view of a favorite city or the breathtaking great outdoors with a helicopter tour.
Hot Air Balloon Ride
A hot air balloon ride is an adventure that he will never forget and there is nothing else like it. If you have not been on one, I can’t recommend it enough.
Golfing
Let your guy hit the links with his buddies.
Be kind and offer to be the designated driver.
Sporting Event
Does your husband have a favorite sports team? Get him tickets.
Go big or go home and book a hotel too.
Supercar Track Day
My brother-in-law did a supercar track day for his 40th and he has been nuts about it ever since. If he is into cars, this should be at or near the top of the birthday activity list.
Bowling
Bowling is a fun way to do an activity, have some food and drinks, and celebrate with the birthday boy.
Go Karting
Is your guy a big kid at heart? Go Karting will be the perfect activity for him.
Comedy Night
Hire a comedian to come to your party. If you aren’t feeling that, then you can hit up a comedy club.
Karaoke
After a few drinks, anyone will sing karaoke. I have seen it😊 and I am sure you have too.
You can stay in with this fun karaoke machine.
Concert
You want to leave the singing to someone else? Go to a concert.
Concert tickets are a fantastic birthday gift and activity.
Fancy Restaurant Dinner
Set up a cocktail party at a posh restaurant. It can be for a crowd or just the 2 of you (ha cha cha).
Dinner Boat Cruise
Reserve a dinner boat cruise. It is a great way for you to enjoy every second of the birthday party with him.
Wine Tasting/ Brewery Tour
Book a party bus (or something like it) and go wine tasting or on a brewery tour. You won’t have to worry about having a designated driver.
If you don’t want to go out and about, you can do a tasting party at home.
Cooking Class
Try learning a few new recipes in a cooking class.
Murder Mystery Party
A Murder Mystery party is so much fun.
Ask your guests to dress their part, and they will be more than ready to get into the character you assign them.
Scavenger Hunt
Create a scavenger hunt that includes items to find around your home or neighborhood. You can do this by making a checklist or by making clues or items everyone needs to find.
If you are renting a party bus, plan a few stops for your scavenger hunt😊.
A few easy rules to include are: a time limit and having photo proof of the item with a team member.
Hayride
Do you know someone with a wagon? Have a relaxing hayride.
You can have food, drinks, music, and more.
Bring a blanket to sit on; otherwise, the hay will itch your legs.
Party Bus
If you aren’t into the hayride idea, no worries. Rent a party bus.
Destination Travel
Plan a trip for the birthday boy. Where has he always wanted to go?
It is the perfect time for a celebration vacation.
Escape Room
Try an escape room if solving puzzles is his thing.
