  When planning and throwing a 30th birthday party, it's important to do a lot of planning and ensure that everyone has a good time. No matter what the theme of your party is, party hosts need to make sure that a date is set, a venue has been reserved and invitations are sent out at an appropriate time. Turning 30 is a milestone and there are many themes that can help create a lasting memory.
  
  

Roaring Twenties

• A roaring twenties party can help usher an individual into his or her 30s by focusing on the decade that represents glitz, glamour and excitement. Party guests can dress in flapper dresses and gangster suits, and the guest of honor can be ushered into the party in a 1920s Ford truck. Party guests can dance to 1920s jazz music, while silent movies can be projected in the background.
  
  

Decade Party

• Throw a 30th birthday party that represents the decade in which a person was born. For example, someone who was born in the 1980s could have a party that focuses on various 1980s fads, including slap bracelets, leg warmers, mullets, acid washed jeans, high tops, shoulder pads and big hair. The group can watch John Hughes' movies, such as ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off,'' ''Sixteen Candles'' and ''The Breakfast Club.'' The party can play 1980s trivia games and listen to Madonna, Springsteen, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel and Run D.M.C.
  
  

Thirty and Flirty

• A thirty and flirty party can be a lot of fun for a guest of honor who is single. Thirty and flirty invitations and t-shirts are available for purchase at various party planning stores. The party can rent a vehicle and go from venue to venue and celebrate at different locations. This is an opportunity for the guest of honor and partygoers to meet and mingle with various people throughout an evening and experience a variety of foods, beverages and fun.
