The big 3-0 is arguably more of a cause for celebration than 18 or 21. You&#8217;re a little &#8211; or a LOT &#8211; wiser, you&#8217;re better at holding your liquor than you were at 21, you have a stellar group of friends around you, and you know exactly what you want from a celebration.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; let&#8217;s do it!

Casual drinks with mates within a section of a bar? Sit-down dinner for your nearest and dearest? Lavish celebration, with exclusive use of a venue? Your event style and which friends you want to invite will determine your budget, the venue, entertainment options, and your overall event.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dave-lastovskiy-127581-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"30th birthday party planning checklist\" width=\"751\" height=\"502\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Lock in your budget, know your must-haves<\/h3>\n<p>Next, realistically hone in on your budget &#8211; how much you are willing to spend for your adult birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be providing party favors? Food and drinks? Be realistic with your budget, but don&#8217;t be afraid to splurge on the must-haves for some party fun!<\/p>\n<p>Will you be paying for everything, or will your mates be paying their own way? If it&#8217;s the latter, casual venues will take into account how much your friends spend when it comes to meeting the &#8216;minimum spend&#8217; to use a space exclusively. More about that later!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/33207248_384091965425033_3513653452834078720_n.jpg\" alt=\"welcome to bowen hills\" width=\"835\" height=\"556\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tHow much does a 30th cost?\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Calculate your event cost in under 5 minutes<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/collections\/event-price-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalculate my event cost\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>At VenueNow, we find that when it comes to 30th birthdays, the lower end of the budget scale is about $500 to $800. On the higher end &#8211; those who hire a function space exclusively, purchase a food and beverage package, and go all out with decorations &#8211; you&#8217;ll see budgets of about $2,000 to $3,000. It all comes down to how much YOU want to spend.<\/p>\n<p>Deciding on your budget will go hand in hand with deciding what your must-haves are. Basically, it&#8217;ll confirm in your mind what should come top of the list when you&#8217;re thinking about a venue or food\/booze that fits your budget.<\/p>\n<p>How many are on your guest list? Can they fit in your venue? Is it a venue near public transport? Maybe it&#8217;s a space that&#8217;s big enough for all your mates but small enough to be intimate. Perhaps it&#8217;s a type of cuisine that you NEED to enjoy on your birthday (because it&#8217;s your day, after all).<\/p>\n<h3>Decide on the guest list<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you have more than a few amazing friends, so before you commit to any of the fun stuff like the venue or food choices, it&#8217;s time to decide on your guest list.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning your own party, decide on your guest list. How many people are you inviting? How much space do they need? Will it be an intimate gathering and exclusive use of space?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re throwing a party for someone else, however, check with the person to find out who they want to celebrate with them. Throwing a\u00a0surprise party\u00a0makes things a little trickier, so consider coordinating with another friend or family member to create the guest list.<\/p>\n<h3>Think about drinks<\/h3>\n<p>This one&#8217;s easy &#8211; bar tab, beverage package, or cash bar?<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s anything other than a cash bar (woo!), consider how much of your budget you&#8217;ll be spending on booze versus food.<\/p>\n<p>Beverage packages are great value for money &#8211; as they&#8217;re an unlimited supply of a list of drinks for a specified duration &#8211; but are a little pricy. You&#8217;ll need to pay a set price per person, which can end up completely blowing the budget. In our experience, the most popular drinks plan is to put a bar tab down, then allow friends to buy their own drinks once it runs out. Check out your venues&#8217; drinks menus to see how far your bar tab will go.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/michael-discenza-199756-unsplash-987x1024.jpg\" alt=\"30th birthday party planning checklist\" width=\"524\" height=\"543\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Think about food<\/h3>\n<p>First up: Are you planning a dinner party? Will you be providing food for your friends? If the answer&#8217;s no, that makes things easier! No wading through menus for you.<\/p>\n<p>That said if you are planning a &#8216;let&#8217;s just meet here and drink!&#8217; celebration, we do recommend choosing a venue that offers easy snacks for your friends to order. Lining your pals&#8217; stomachs will ensure there aren&#8217;t any 21st-birthday party-style messy moments.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/brooke-lark-200721-unsplash-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Venuemob 30th birthday part planning checklist\" width=\"785\" height=\"588\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are going to organise food? Here are our recommendations for adult birthday parties.<\/p>\n<p>Most venues will have a\u00a0<strong>set menu<\/strong>, priced per person, for events. You&#8217;ll generally get to choose a couple of dishes from the menu, to make up the dinner for your event. Beware though, these are pricey!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canap\u00e9 packages<\/strong>\u00a0are good value if you&#8217;re organising a bit more of a formal cocktail-style event. Six canap\u00e9s per person is &#8216;entry-level&#8217;, and about eight to 12 (sometimes with a &#8216;substantial&#8217; canap\u00e9) is a &#8216;meal&#8217; equivalent. Don&#8217;t forget about your birthday cake though!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/kelly-jean-685899-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"30th birthday party planning checklist\" width=\"681\" height=\"455\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Canap\u00e9 Platters\u00a0<\/strong>are cheaper than canap\u00e9 packages. It can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out how many platters you&#8217;ll need, so it&#8217;s a good idea to use the canap\u00e9 equation above and apply it to your platter order.<\/p>\n<p>Note: many venues will require you to pre-purchase food.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact venues<\/h3>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to find and book an amazing venue with confidence, certainty and speed. If you have a few in mind, get in touch straight away!<\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t, or if you want to find a venue that&#8217;s a little surprising, unique, hidden or new? Use a service like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/venuenow.com\/au\/sydney\/venues\/30th-birthday-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>VenueNow<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0a booking platform literally filled with venues that are ideal for specific event types.
