30th birthday party ideas

Go big - If you’re feeling adventurous and want to have a party that will be talked about for years to come, then go all out! Throw an epic shindig that your friends will never forget. Hire a DJ to play your life’s playlist, organise a happy hour at the bar, and let the night surpass your 20s!

Go steady - If you're not up for a wild party, then simply go for a celebratory meal. But don’t worry, steady doesn’t mean boring! Choose a restaurant with a menu you've never tried before to have an amazing culinary experience that will mark your new decade. Or choose a place that offers in-house entertainment, such as a stand up comedian or a live band.

Go with a theme - Do you think theme parties are only for kids? Well, not anymore! If you feel like it, throw a themed party for you and your guests. Go down memory lane, and bring out your childhood heroes, like Harry Potter, or look to themes that occupy today’s pop culture, like superheroes. If your guests aren't into costumes, you can still incorporate the theme into your decorations or prepare themed food.

Go with something new - Is there something you always wanted to do but never really got around to it? Well, your 30th birthday seems like just the right time to do it. Maybe you’ve always thought about bungee jumping or dreamed of having a professional photoshoot? Now is the time to make your wish come true. You’re not getting any younger, so why not make the most of every moment?

Go loud - What better way to deal with all the birthday emotions than singing them out? A karaoke party is never a miss for any occasion, and your birthday is no exception. Prepare a list of all tunes that you love and remember from your childhood and teenage years, and sing them out with your friends during an epic night of singing, laughter and fun.

Go outside - Brisbane is known for its love for nature, and with so many beaches and parks the city boasts, we can understand why. So take advantage of what the city offers, and take your birthday party out. It can be as simple as an outdoor BBQ with some simple games or a beach party with swimming and surfing that will help you forget about your everyday worries.

Once you’ve set on how you want your birthday party to look, here are a few tips that can help you organise the best party, no matter the type:

Plan out - Unless the theme of the party is “go with the flow”, it’s always wise to at least write down how many people will come, what food will they eat, and what you will be doing. That’s enough to start a party, but the more people come and the more elaborate the celebrations, the more detailed the plan you need.

Set up a budget - We wish we could tell you not to worry about the budget. But chances are you probably will have to monitor how much you will spend on your birthday, so we suggest setting up a budget right at the beginning of your party preparations. If you’re looking for more affordable ways to throw a birthday celebration, then maybe a potluck style or minimum spend venue hire could be an option?

Invite guests - And do it as soon as possible, especially if you’re planning your party around popular days such as Christmas. If you want to be sure your guests will show up, give them a chance to mark your birthday into their calendars.

Book the venue - If you’re planning to throw your party in a hired venue, it’s important to book it in advance, especially if you have a particular spot in mind. We advise hiring a venue for your birthday party at least 3 months in advance, although most popular spaces might be booked even 6 months in advance! But if you left your venue hire to the last minute, don’t worry - Tagvenue is here to help even in the last-minute search!

And lastly… Enjoy the celebration! Whether you’re having a big night out or a birthday dinner with just your partner, this day is all about you, so go out and have fun!

Can I hire a 30th birthday party venue on a budget?

Sure, hiring a venue for your 30th birthday doesn't have to be expensive. When looking for a space for your event, look for one that offers a minimum spend option. This way, you won’t have to pay for hiring the venue, but need to agree with the venue that you and your guests will spend a minimum agreed amount on food and drinks during the event. You can also look for a venue with a BYO policy, where you do pay for hiring the space, but can bring your own food and drink which will usually come out cheaper than buying them at the venue. Also, if it’s possible, try to organise your party during off-peak dates, when hiring prices tend to be lower. You can also look for birthday party packages, as they may offer some affordable deals that will help you cut down on expenses.
