30th Birthday Party Fiesta

A fiesta birthday party is a popular theme for any age, but it is well-suited for turning 30 because its a good balance of grown-up fun. Its also one of the easiest parties to plan and initiate.

Turning an ordinary birthday party into a memorable fiesta is super easy! You need the right food, festive decor, and some Mexican inspired accessories and wear.

Food

There are a few key items any fiesta needs on the menu. The first, of course is salsa. The classic tomato salsa is always a popular choice, or you can opt for some new flavors for your guests to dip their chips into. For a rich and hearty choice, this black bean and corn salsa is a no brainer. Or, for a more fruity and tropical taste, this mango salsa is a crowd pleaser.

Drinks

It's not a fiesta without some tequila! Stick with the traditional tequila with lime or opt for one of our tasty tequila cocktails.

Accessories

Dress the guest of honor in a poncho and sombrero. This will make for some fun and memorable photos (which will help give you a memory boost after the 10 shots of tequila).

Don't forget the pinata! Make sure the guest of honor gets first swing.

Activities

Give a toast or roast to the 30 year old and have everyone shake maracas every time the number 30 is spoken.

End the night off with a conga line! Have your guests throw their sombreros on and dance around to some salsa-worthy music. Make sure you have a video camera on hand - you'll want to record your guests shaking their maracas!
