30th Birthday Suggestions
DH turns 30 in December--I have had friends throw parties for their significant others, but then others just do something low-key like dinner. I was thinking of having something for DH, but...and I am not saying this to be mean...he does not have "friends". He has a lot of work and other acquantances (sp?) but honestly none worth inviting. So I am thinking do I throw something at the house for our families--or do I just save the money and take him to a nice dinner out? WWYD?
If you would like to add things you or your SO did for milestone birthdays PLEASE let me know. I am not really good at this kind of stuff 
Re: 30th Birthday Suggestions
I threw DH a 30th Birthday party, but he knew about it. I actually needed his input, so it was nice to have. Does he like wine or beer? For my 30th we rented a party bus (had about 18 people go out with us to Linganore in Mt. Airy).
I would ask him if he wants a party or just go to a nice dinner. You could always surprise him with the dinner location. Just a thought.
Who do you spend time with socially? DH and I don't really have many friends but there are a couple of couples that we hang out with (one is my BIL and his wife though). Sometimes we go out to dinner for a double or triple date (depending on how many couples there are).
For my 30th, my friend and DH planned a dinner at a restaurant for about 8 of my friends. It got snowed out though
DH hasn't had a milestone birthday since we've been together, but he turns 40 in 2 years and I want to throw him a party whether he likes it or not, haha!
But...to answer your question, I'd probably ask your DH where he'd like to go to dinner and plan a nice date night.

Decorate This
For DH's 30th we were busy planning a wedding so he kinda lost out. I hope to have a party back in Ohio for his 40th. DH doesn't have many friends here in MD.
For my 30th, we went to the Poconos and went skiing. My BFF's bday is 4 days after mine, so a group of 6 of us went there for the weekend and had a blast.
Sounds like dinner is going to be your best bet.
You could always do a getaway too. You may be surprised at who shows up for a party though. I had a surprise party for DH for his 40th and pretty much invited everyone in his contacts - some of whom where just old coworkers, etc. Everyone had a good time adn it was nice to catch up w/ people.
