This Half Minute to Win It 30th Birthday Party was SUCH a fun theme!
Last week my awesome friend Audrey turned 30, and we put together a little surprise party to celebrate! Audrey is fun loving, competitive, and young at heart which meant our theme of “1/2 Minute to Win It 30th Birthday Party” fit perfectly. We did a super casual brunch with just a few of Audrey’s close friends and comfort foods.
I made my grandma’s famous chocolate birthday cake which tasted delicious. I topped the cake with a “Happy Birthday Audrey” bunting made of scrapbook paper and stickers, hung on thread between two bamboo skewers. We also all just chipped in towards a spa day as a gift!
Audrey is the high school cheerleading coach, so I had a lot of fun with the “pom-pom” decor. Along with making a pom pom bunting I also used fabric strips to create more buntings. The giant A was just cut out of cardboard and spray painted!
 The “1/2 minute to win it” games were so much fun and involved a ton of laughter. Audrey was the reigning champion on shaking the ping pong balls out of the attached kleenex box. I was the proud winner of the “pencil eraser bouncing target game”.
Here’s some other blogs that feature great Minute to Win It Games:
We also made a poster of the “30 things we love about Audrey”. It was easy to come up with our 30 things and now she has it as a reminder of how much we love her! We did this on a big posterboard, but this could also be written on a picture frame mat around the picture of your friend. Another idea would be to write these things on strips of paper and make a bunting or paper chain!
 
This is so fun! I’m trying to plan my husband’s 30th party and I’m thinking this might be our theme! Thanks for the idea 🙂
It was super fun, have you thrown his party yet? Thanks for stopping by!

What kind of material did you use. Love the idea:)
For the bunting? It was a variety of types, some cotton, some tulle, and whatever I could find in the right colors! Thanks!
Hi, for the board ? Just poster sheet with paper for comments?
Oh sorry! Yes it was just a piece of foam core board with paper for the comments!
