16 30th Birthday Ideas for the Perfect Picnic Party

Jun 08, 2016

Now that the weather is *officially* cooperating with us, a picnic in the park is totally necessary. There’s really no better excuse to get with your besties, lay out a DIYed blanket and snack on some yummy food in the great outdoors than celebrating your 30th birthday. Instead of throwing an extravagant backyard barbecue for your big 3-0 this summer, switch things up with a (just as over-the-top) picnic in the park. Scroll through to find ways to up your picnic decor and DIY your fun-in-the-sun birthday party. It’ll be anything but basic.

1. DIY Picnic Blanket: What’s a picnic without a picnic blanket? Impress your pals with a DIY option like this one. Just grab a drop cloth, paint on your favorite summer fruit and let it dry. Once you’ve got the design down, it’ll be ready for some quality time in the park. (via Brit + Co)

2. Strawberry Cucumber Limeade: It’s summer, and that means you’re going to need some seriously refreshing drinks at your party. Whip up this strawberry + cucumber limeade for a punch you can sip on all afternoon. And hey, if you want to spike it, we won’t judge ;) (via Blahnik Baker)

3. DIY Picnic Basket: A place to store all of the yummy goodies you’re bringing to the picnic is a total must. Upcycle your classic basket with some elastic and super glue so you’ll have a place to keep your glasses and utensils too. (via Lovely Indeed)

4. DIY Tassel Balloon: It’s your birthday, and that definitely calls for some balloons to celebrate. DIY this option by tying on fabric tassels to a jumbo balloon to make your picnic area extra festive. (via The House That Lars Built)

5. DIY Snack Trays: Instead of using a pack of paper plates from the grocery store, go for something unique like a stack of these DIY snack trays. All you need to do is print a fun pattern on card stock, then use a bone folder, ruler and some glue to create the bowl effect. (via Studio DIY)

6. Let’s Picnic Printable Invitation: A party isn’t complete without an epic invitation. DL this printable, scribble in your party deets and send ’em off to get your friends excited for your birthday. (via Eat Drink Chic)

7. Grapefruit Popsicles: Equal parts pink lemonade + grapefruit juice + fresh grapefruit slices = the most refreshing sweet treat for your birthday picnic. Help your guests cool off by making a batch of these and sticking them in the cooler for when your peeps just can’t take the heat. (via Paper + Stitch)

8. DIY Origami Cutlery Holders: Looking for the perfect way to kick your cutlery up a notch? Spend an afternoon DIYing a set of origami utensil holders that are sure to add some oomph to your picnic vibe. (via Brit + Co)

9. DIY Giant Lawn Matching Game: A picnic in the park is the *best* excuse to DIY those lawn games you’ve been pinning on your Pinterest boards. Add a little friendly competition with this giant matching game that you can use for the rest of your summer parties. (via Studio DIY)

10. DIY Watermelon Print Napkins: Picnics can tend to get a little on the messy side. Solution: a set of adorable watermelon napkins, of course. Pick up a set of white cotton napkins and use a sponge to stamp on a fruity pattern like this one to keep your bash mess-free. (via The Sweetest Occasion)

11. Marinated Veggie Salad: This zesty Italian veggie salad is equally as delish as it is perfect for your picnic. Simply mix up some chopped veggies and mozzarella cheese, then top it off with some Italian dressing for a salad your besties won’t be able to resist. (via Lunching Daily)

12. DIY Balloon Centerpiece: Just because you’re eating on the ground doesn’t mean you can’t have a cute centerpiece to go with your epic DIY blanket. Blow up colorful balloons and use duct tape to attach them together for an easy last-minute option. (via The House That Lars Built)

13. Chalkboard Picnic Sign: Now this is how to lead your guests to the picnic in style. Snag a chalkboard sign at the craft store and add a little hand lettering to create a picnic decoration that *won’t* blow away. (via Kara’s Party Ideas)

14. DIY Clip-On Picnic Utensils: When you’re throwing a picnic party, sometimes you get worried about forgetting the little things, like utensils. Well, that is until now. Make these DIY clip-on utensils that you can add to brown bags so nobody will have to eat with their hands. (via Oh Happy Day)

15. DIY Bocce Ball Set: There’s no such thing as too many games at a birthday party. Spice up last year’s bocce ball set with a fresh coat of spray paint and some stickers to add some modern flair to your fave classic game. (via Brit + Co)

16. Balloon + Blanket Setup: Excessive amounts of balloons are a-okay when you’re turning the big 3-0. Head to the party store for a *bunch* of balloons so you can surround your picnic blanket with them, because if that’s not festive AF, then we don’t know what is. (via The House That Lars Built)

Dunkin’s “Divisive” New Donut Flavor Has Fans In A Chokehold: “Surprisingly Good”

Dunkin'just dropped a new specialty donut flavor alongside their spring menu, and it’s already got fans in a doozy. Inspired by perhaps the most sugary dessert out there, cotton candy, it’s not hard to see the treat going downhill (AKA being way too sweet). Plenty of Dunkin’ fans are still skeptical about the new flavor – making this the most divisive donut drop in a hot minute.

Read on to learn more about Dunkin’s Cotton Candy donut and the best fan reactions to the new flavor!

Dunkin’

Dunkin’ describes their all-new Cotton Candy Specialty Donut as “asweet throwback for kids and kids at heart.” It’s a filled donut full of cotton candy-flavored buttercream that’s then topped with strawberry icing and blue sprinkles.

But is it really as “whimsical and delicious” as the chain claims? Dunkin’ fans on Reddit had a lot of thoughts.

Reddit

If you’re wondering about the true flavor, one person who tried it reported that it tasted like a combo of bubblegum and cotton candy ice cream. Another person liked that it was “very balanced.”

“Not a fan of cotton candy flavored stuff but this was pretty good or at least better than expected,” one customer reported on Reddit. “The doughnut wasn't overly sweet and I liked that the cotton candy flavor was all in the cream. I also liked how soft the dough was.”

“I really liked how the filling was more fluffy and airy compared to regular donut filling!” another person said. “The cotton candy flavor was quite subtle which I think was for the best lol.”

Reddit

While plenty of people were pleasantly surprised by the Cotton Candy Specialty Donut, others could not find the strength to stomach it.

“Not appetizing to me at all but it looks cute,” someone said.

“I actually think Dunkin's R&D is run by tweens,” another commented. “Cotton candy donut, how ridiculous.”

Dunkin'

This is a treat you just have to try for yourself. No matter what you think about the Cotton Candy Specialty Donut, you can also snag some other great items from Dunkin’ this spring, including the all-new Blueberry Sprinkle MUNCHKINS and Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders. They also launched an Arctic Cherry energy drink and brought the famed Dunkalatte for sippers to enjoy!

    8 "Cringey" Sitcoms That Aged Horribly

    TV shows have the unique ability to capture the cultural pulse of their time, and sitcoms might just be the greatest example. They're packed with relevant humor and characters that are supposed to be relatable, so they quickly become staples in homes across the country.

    However, as we continue to evolve as a society, so do our standards, and plenty of shows you might've watched as a kid or teen now just seem dated or even downright offensive in hindsight. Here are some classic sitcoms that, while once iconic, haven't aged well.

    Scroll to see all the sitcoms that actually aged really badly...

    CBS

    1. How I Met Your Mother

    It's natural to have flawed characters in TV series, but one How I Met Your Mother character in particular, Barney Stinson, is especially problematic. Portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney is known for being manipulative and casually misogynistic.

    For instance, he has a "playbook" of pick-up lines, regularly lies to women just to sleep with them, and perpetuates toxic masculinity. Barney's behavior might've been able to snag some laughs back in the day, but his disrespectful actions wouldn't be so well-received by audiences in 2025.

    Warner Bros. Television

    2. Two and a Half Men

    Two and a Half Men continues to air on TV and stream across platforms, but that doesn't mean its premise isn't controversial.

    Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper, a man who routinely treats women as objects for his own pleasure and perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes. Not to mention, Charlie's behavior is showcased in front of his young nephew, Jake, who becomes privy to situations that are way too mature for a kid.

    Sure, there is humor in the tension between Charlie and his brother, Alan. Nonetheless, the line between comedy and inappropriate content is definitely blurred.

    ABC

    3. Ugly Betty

    Both the title and plot of Ugly Betty probably wouldn't hold up if it were released today. The show revolves around Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera, who is a smart, ambitious, and kind-hearted young woman. However, since she wears glasses, has braces, and doesn't follow fashion trends, she's deemed "ugly" and deals with constant ridicule after landing a job at a fashion magazine.

    It's undeniable that Ugly Betty is packed with both funny and heartfelt moments. Nonetheless, the way the show treats Betty's looks and reinforces harmful beauty standards feels super outdated in our more body-positive and inclusive era.

    20th Century Fox Television

    4. That 70's Show

    When you think of That 70's Show, you might picture the classic bell-bottom-wearing friend group sitting around, surrounded by clouds of smoke. Compared to how the character Fes, played by Wilmer Valderrama, was treated, the underage drug use seems relatively tame.

    As the "foreign exchange student," Fes is not only given a name that reduces him to being an outsider, but a lot of the humor surrounding his character also just relies on racist stereotypes. That 70's Show might've intended to be lighthearted, but it's tough to imagine a modern sitcom leaning on so many old tropes.

    CBS

    5. Everybody Loves Raymond

    Despite being a funny character, Ray Barone, played by Ray Romano, reinforces problematic gender roles in Everybody Loves Raymond.

    He comes off as a passive husband who typically sides with his mother over his wife, leaving his wife to shoulder much of the emotional labor and household chores. This old-fashioned family dynamic feels especially inappropriate today when modern sitcoms are trying to challenge these old stereotypes.

    CBS

    6. The Big Bang Theory

    The initial appeal of The Big Bang Theory centered around nerd culture being quirky and odd, but today, this kind of "otherness" just isn't considered funny anymore.

    Each character also has their own specific issues, with Raj's selective mutism being played for laughs, Penny embodying the "dumb blonde" stereotype, and Sheldon's behavior that's exaggerated for comedic effect. In 2025, this sitcom seems repetitive and shallow since it leans too heavily on stereotypes.

    Touchstone Television

    7. Home Improvement

    When it comes to Home Improvement, this show pushed a traditional narrative where men are defined by their roles as the breadwinners and having handyman skills; meanwhile, a woman's value is tied to her appearance and household duties.

    Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, is a one-dimensional character whose storyline almost totally revolves around his role as the host of "Tool Time," a fictional TV show. Not to mention, there's the "Tool Time girl," a woman whose sole purpose is to stand and look attractive while introducing Tim and his co-host. The lack of depth and outdated gender tropes make Home Improvement a tough watch today.

    CBS

    8. According to Jim

    On a similar note, the show According to Jim features a father, played by Jim Belushi, who embodies traditional gender roles. His behavior doesn't fit the mold of the typical sitcom dad, though, since Jim is always lying to his wife and sister, interrupting others, and acting just plain rude.

    In hindsight, Jim's character perpetuates misogyny and being overly macho, something that probably wouldn't fly if made today.

    51 Makeup Products to Perfect the 'Blush-Draping' Trend

    The 'blush-draping' makeup trend is taking the internet by storm, and it's easy to see why. It creates a sculpted, lifted look with minimal effort, highlighting your best features and giving you a soft, natural glow. While typical blush application focuses on the apples of the cheeks, blush draping involves applying it in an upward motion to the temples, blending it toward the forehead, and even in the jaw area. It creates a high-cheekbone effect, adding warmth and a sun-kissed element that feels natural and not overdone. Convinced? We've curated a list of our favorite products to nail the look, from jelly blushes and dewy lip-stains to foundations that provide the perfect base.
