What to do for my 30th birthday?

I am always a big fan of throwing myself a birthday party....some past parties I have had are Mideveil (sp?) Times, horseback riding, game night, murder mystery night, etc.  I like to do something different than the usual dinner and drinks.

But I am drawing a blank for this year, and it's the big 3-0!!  Originally, my plan was to go to Disney, but since I'm pg that plan didn't work out.  Obviously I can't do anything that involves drinking, too. 

Any suggestions??  I don't know what to do!

Re: What to do for my 30th birthday?

  • What about a bowling party? Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg looks really cool, with live performances and food by Blue Ribbon. www.brooklynbowl.com There's also Lucky Strike and Bowlmor.
  • I was thinking about bowling.  I just went to two bowling parties recently though (one at Brooklyn Bowl), I wouldn't want those people to think I was copying them!

  • When is your b'day?  (I'm trying to figure out how far along you'll be.)

    edit:  tried to fix it to make more sense.

  • April 12, but since I have my big show to plan for April 17, I will probably do it the weekend after.  So, I'll be around 22 weeks.

    You definitely have to do something different than your friends! Hmmm. Will keep brainstorming.

  • You can copy what I did for mine: a spa day!  So nice.

    Spas aren't as exciting when you are pg - there are so many things you can't have done! :-(

    Oh, I didn't realize. Bummer.

  • hmmm...I wish I had some ideas for you. I always look for any excuse to go away for a weekend, so I personally would use this opportunity to do so. lol But, being preggers and all...I don't have a clue! =/ Sorry I can't help, but if I think of anything, I'll definitely chime in. =)

  • I had a hard time thinking of what to do for my 30th bday back in November! I ended up doing a princess party and ordered a party decorating kit from Oriental Trading and ordered some prince stuff for the boys. It was okay, but not as many people showed up as in past years....so i had quite a few left over party bags!!

    What about an 80's party, to celebrate the year you were born? A pottery painting party? A party at Dylan's Candy Bar, on the UES? I thought about this one too, but it's not too cheap... Serendipity?

  • Whatever you do, I know it will be fabulous! LOL

    One of my friends did an MTA party by renting a bus but I don't support the MTA anymore. LOL

  • Hmm.....good ideas, ladies, thank you.  I am going to think a little more and let you know what I decide.

    And you are all invited to whatever it is, of course! :-)

  • I dunno if the guys will like this, but what about a Painted Pot (i think that's what the place is called) party where you make some kind of ceramic thingy and paint it. Or... a cake or cookie decorating class. I know that's becoming very popular and so the prices aren't bad.

  • I do like those ideas, Linda, thanks!
