Honor The Big 3-0 With Asurprise 30th Anniversary Themed Party

Plan a surprise 30th anniversary themed party complete with decorations, party supplies, invitations and of course party games. Throwing a themed anniversary party makes a wonderful surprise for the happy couple. Since the party is a surprise, it is not possible to ask the couple what type of party theme they would prefer. Hopefully, some knowledge on their likes and dislikes is known so an appropriate theme can be chosen.

Invitations: It is important to indicate on the invitations that the 30th anniversary party is indeed a surprise party. Establish a plan by calling guests and giving details on where and when everyone should meet. Select themed party invitations related to the party theme.

Themes: A couple who has been married for thirty years may still feel young at heart. With that being said, just because the couple has been married for thirty years does not mean they want a traditional party. There are numerous party themes to consider such as Luau, decade theme, e.g., 50's, 60's, 70's, western, sci-fi, and Hollywood.

It is important to find a theme that means something to the couple. Does the couple love movies? Create a Hollywood movie theme party with movie posters, popcorn boxes, star balloons, Hollywood scene setters, and star lights.

Perhaps the couple would love to play Roy Rogers and Dale Evans at a wild west party. A western theme party is a great way to celebrate a 30th anniversary. Use various western scene setters, cowboy hats, inflatable cactus, wagon wheels, barrels, and pictures of famous cowboys and cowgirls as part of the decor. An easy party game in which all can participate is Horseshoes. Set up this game in an outdoor location with plenty of space.

"Who Was I Then?" is another popular party game. Have everyone bring a picture of themselves from their childhood or young adult years. Invite each player to try and match each picture with the identity of a party guest.

A fun trivia game, one to be enjoyed by all, involves answering trivia questions on pop culture, music, sports and other events from the year the couple married. Write down a few questions and see how well the couple, and other guests can answer simple, yet challenging questions.

A surprise 30th anniversary themed party is a great way to gather family and friends and celebrate the couples life together. Plan a slideshow of the couple with various pictures over the years, share stories and have a fun time. Remember, keep the party a secret beforehand, to ensure that the memories created during the 30th anniversary party will last a lifetime for all who attend.
