How to Plan a Pinterest-Worthy 30th Birthday Bash

Turning 30 is a major milestone—and it deserves to be celebrated in serious style. Whether you're throwing a backyard brunch or a glam girls' night out, this guide will help you plan a Pinterest-worthy 30th birthday party that your guests will talk about for years (and your Instagram will love).

1. Pick a Fun Theme That Reflects You Go beyond the usual and pick a vibe that screams YOU. Some of our favorite 30th birthday party themes include:

  • Talk Thirty to Me – Bold, cheeky, and perfect for a night out.

  • Tying Up My Twenties – Add a coquette bow and a martini, and you're golden.

  • Vintage 1995 – For that throwback, retro-glam aesthetic.

  • Death To My Twenties – If you’re feeling gothic.

These themes give you instant direction for decor, favors, and even the cake.

2. Make the Decor Pop This is your moment—go big on visuals. Choose a strong color palette (think blush + gold, Aperol orange, or classic black and white). Decor ideas that photograph beautifully:

  • Foil number balloons (3-0, obviously)

  • Retro pennant flags

  • Fringe backdrops and balloon garlands

  • Custom signage or bar menus

3. Serve Up the Sass with Custom Napkins Custom cocktail napkins are the ultimate detail that guests notice (and post). Some of our most-loved designs for 30th birthdays:

  • "Just a Spritz Older"

  • "Straight Outta My Twenties"

  • "So Happy I’m Thirty"

  • "Vintage 1995"

  • "Death To My Twenties"

Choose from a variety of napkin and foil colors to match your theme. Our 5x5 cocktail napkins are hot foil stamped and made to impress.

4. Add a Signature Drink Station Make it extra with a DIY cocktail bar or spritz station. Add custom drink tags or napkins that tie in your theme. Bonus points for an Aperol Spritz bar or espresso martini setup.

5. Don’t Forget the Birthday Sash If you're the guest of honor, you need a sash—no exceptions. Our personalized birthday sashes come in multiple colors and fonts, all shipped in a gift-ready box. Choose something glittery or match it to your outfit for the perfect photo-ready accessory.

6. Keep the Vibe Going with Party Favors Mini hangover kits, custom stickers, thank-you tags, or anything with your theme’s catchphrase will keep your party cohesive. Guests love favors they’ll actually use—or post about.
