Dirty 30’s Moodboard

So the whole idea behind our 30th birthdays was that we were going to celebrate by traveling to Europe. No big parties, no big hoopla. Yeah, I always have a hard time doing low key. It’s just not my style. 😉

After some thought, I decided I was still going to celebrate my big 3-0 after all. Although nothing out of this world, I am planning a very fun fiesta at our home. Although I don’t have a theme per say, I will be hosting a pool party “to wash away the dirty in my 30’s,” in our hopefully (at that time) renovated pool. I want a cute and kitschy vibe going – very outdoor BBQ-esque, complete with cocktails in mason jars, paper straws, bunting, great music, hula hoop competitions and a DIY photobooth. And color, color, color!

1. 30 Mylar balloon
2. Hula hoop competition
3. Photobooth mustache props
4. Anthropologie bikini
5. Confetti System
6. Personalized cake banner
7. Fun DIY headdresses
8. Polka dot bunting
9. Paper pinwheels
10. Ice cream sandwiches
11. Mason jar drinks
12. Pom cupcake toppers
13. Mini Sofia champagne – {coupon codes}

I’m hoping to tackle a lot of DIY projects for the party and really make it my own, after all, I have 6 months to plan away! I really like the whole playful, youthful theme (guess I do have a theme after all!) for my 30th birthday, as I still feel as vibrant and full of life as I did back when I turned 21. Possibly, even more. I look back at my past with nostalgia and so many happy memories, and embrace my future with open arms, full of hope and excitement.
