8 Creative Pop Culture-Inspired 30th Birthday Ideas

I have to make a confession: I’m a total pop culture fiend and always have been. I know way too much about the best friendship of Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer, shared all those Drake memes before any of my friends and, if I don’t catch up on my “stories,” aka Ryan Murphy and Shondaland shows of all varieties, my week doesn’t feel complete. Don’t get me wrong — I fully embrace my silly fixation. But I’m also 29 and will be turning 30 sooner than I would like to admit. Is it time to give up on my pop culture cravings when I hit the big 3-0?

I know that going from a 20-something to 30-something makes you sound like such an adult, but honestly, sometimes I still feel like a total kid! There is definitely still some Britney on my playlist, and Molly Ringwald is the only lady (besides my mom or sister) who can really comfort me on a sick day. Why not make turning 30 all about embracing the stuff you love instead of trying to reinvent yourself? Throwing a pop culture-themed party not only celebrates your past and present faves, but it’s also a fun way to not take crossing that threshold too seriously. Here are some ideas for pop-culture lovers to start off their new decade with a bang.

1. Party Like It’s 1985/‘86: Why not use the year you were born as the theme? For almost-30-year olds, it’s a great excuse to make your party a rockin’ ‘80s riot. Ask guests to dress up as their fave icon of the era (so many Madonna options) and set up a photo booth with plenty of tacky style props — the more neon, the better. Polaroids from the night as party favors, anyone? It’ll be totally rad!

2. 13 Going on 30 Party: No, we’re not talking the Jennifer Garner movie (although we could totally go for some Razzles right now). Think back to when you were actually 13 years old — the late ‘90s/ early 2000s — and have a celebration that’s non-stop teeny bop. Make the dress code 8th grade dance-chic (think: butterfly hair clips, flared jeans and Steve Madden-style platforms) or give the bash a TRL theme and dress up as your favorite pop tart (Britney a la “…Baby One More Time” always slays). Dig up some old-school BOP magazines for an epic game of MASH — a seventh-grade lunchtime fave — or have a WB-themed trivia game and test each other’s Buffy and Dawson’s Creek knowledge.

3. Party Like Your Fave #Girlboss: So many of our fave pop culture heroes also happen to be rad chicks in their 30s, like Amy, Mindy, Reese and Lupita. This is a party that should be all about celebrating being a kickass lady (and dressing[ish] the part, like with this amazing Lena Dunham tee by now-defunct brand Clashist). Play a name-that-quote game with soundbites from your favorite gals or, since being a girlboss ain’t easy, make it a time that you and your ladies get real about your #lifegoals and show support for each other, because if we’ve learned anything from Taylor Swift, it’s that badass friendships are just as important as mega success.

4. Breakfast Club Birthday Brunch: Make it a daytime celebration in honor of an ‘80s teen flick fave. Hang a modernized version of the movie poster ($16) above a fruit sushi bar, mix up pitchers of mimosas and bellinis all the bad kids will love and get down with a midday ’80s dance off during a matinee screening.

5. Golden Girls Party: No other pop culture icons brush off getting older like Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia, who should natch be front and center on your party invites ($20 for 8). Set up a DIY brooch table with plenty of pearls and faux flowers for guests to add to their cardigans. Don’t forget dessert! Make mini key lime pies (very Miami) and cheesecake, because no Golden Girls party would be complete without cheesecake.

6. Troop Beverly Hills Party: Kim KW did it for her baby shower, why shouldn’t you have just as rad of a birthday celebration? Make it a cozy pajama party with DIY forts, a build-your-own s’mores bar and face masks, because we all deserve a little glamping treat on our big days. Don’t forget your sashes!

7. SNICK Party: Go totally ‘90s and ring in your 30s in the style of your favorite TV night as a kid. Set up a video confession area (very Clarissa Explains It All), have an Are You Afraid of the Dark? scary story time or play a game of All That-style charades. Try your hand at making some Reptar bars for a Rugrats-themed treat — no Anglicas invited. (Photo via Nickelodeon)

8. Shondaland Party: Celebrate the big 3-0 in the style of our favorite TV lady boss. Have a wine tasting that Olivia Pope would be proud of, channel Meredith Grey by paying a game of Operation and make a Shondaland-themed trivia game with an Annalise Keating-style trophy for the winner. Even better, have your shindig on a Thursday and turn it into a TGIT viewing party. (Photo via WhoSay)

Will your upcoming birthday make you 30, flirty and thriving? Let us know your pop culture party ideas in the comments!

Kate Middleton has been top of mind for a lot of people over the last year after the princess announced in March 2024 she was battling cancer. "The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown," she shared in a video update. "This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved." And in honor of Kate's 43rd birthday, Prince William posted the sweetest tribute honoring her strength and perseverance.

Here's what Prince William had to say in Kate Middleton's birthday tribute.

Prince William celebrates "incredible" Kate Middleton's "strength."

Kate Middleton turned 43 on January 9, 2025. In honor of the big day, Prince William took to Instagram to celebrate, praising his "incredible" wife.

"To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable," he says in the post. "George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W."

And well wishers flooded the comments. "Happy Birthday Catherine, wishing you a wonderful year ahead surrounded by family and loved ones," one user says, while another adds, "Happy Birthday Princess of Wales! What a gorgeous photo. Wishing you a wonderful year 😍 xx"

And the tribute comes after revealing Kate was doing "amazing" following her cancer battle.

The birthday celebration comes after the prince shared an update on Kate in early November that had us all breathing a sigh of relief. “She's doing really well thanks. And hopefully, she is watching tonight. So cheering me on," he said before the Earthshot Prize awards (via People). “She's been amazing this whole this whole year. I know she will be really keen to see tonight be a success."

"From what I understand, Catherine is doing very well," royal author Robert Jobson added in an interview withHello!that same week. "She is back training at the gym and doing all the things she wanted to do."

We're sending Kate Middleton so much birthday love! For more about your favorite members of the Royal Family, check out Meghan Markle’s New Netflix Cooking Show Will Feature Some Of Your Fave Celebs.

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.

The running joke the editorial team and I have is that millennials are tired of living during unprecedented times. From the pandemic to all the other massive moments the last few decades, I've felt like I've been living in a weird vortex for the...majority of my life.

Despite — and maybe sometimes because of — it all, it wasn't until my recent birthday that I realized I've grown a lot. I thought the things I learned in my 20s were clues I'd 'arrived' as a 30-something-year-old, but it turns out I still hadn't fully accepted that learning hard truths isn't always bad in the long run.

I do this weird thing where I tend to focus on things I feel have to be done instead of focusing on how far I've come, but that changed when I turned 33. For the first time, I didn't have a huge celebration that ended in anxiety on my birthday. I relaxed at home with a ton of comfort food, scary movies, and a list of 33 things I have to be grateful for. So, how did I get here?

Let's go back to the beginning of the year, shall we?

I Intentionally Dubbed 2024 My Personal Victory Year

Viridiana Rivera

I, like so many others, woke up on January 1st and decided it would be my year. I set intentional resolutions, goals, and even made sure to be specific about them. Similar to how I write in-depth articles, I broke them into the following sections:

  • Motherhood
  • Relationships
  • Career
  • Wellbeing
  • Spiritual

It's the first year I decided to listen to my heart's desires in order to capture a screenshot of the life I want to live. I even prayed over my resolutions and goals, asking to be guided as I accomplished things or were led to them. As February rolled around, I didn't really think twice about the impact of what I'd done because life started to fall into a familiar hum that becomes mundane after a while.

I guess I needed to be reminded of the intentional goals I'd written down because things got painfully interesting after this.

My First Adult Car Was Totaled

Gustavo Fring

Car accidents are never fun as I've been on the receiving end of one before, but this wasn't like before. This time I was emotionally hurt to learn the first car I'd assumed total responsibility for was no longer going to be mine. Though I knew I was lucky no one was seriously harmed, all I could think about is the morning I paid it off. I had every reason to spend the nice bonus I received from my last job, but I decided paying off my car mattered more in that moment.

This is the car that took me from my parents' home to living on my own, trips out of town, and days spent buckling a newborn into his carseat. For 8 years, this car and I were locked in like besties. It truly felt like we'd grown up together so to have it ripped away so suddenly was heartbreaking.

Even though the SUV I got was aligned with everything my fiancé and I were talking about, I couldn't appreciate it for a while because I all could see what was what I had.

I Took A Chance On A Full-Time Creative Career

George Milton

Once I started making peace with having a new vehicle, I started feeling the urge to leave my first adult job behind. I'd spent 10 years there, but it was becoming obvious that it was time to leave the nest. Similar to my first car, my co-workers watched me go from a wide-eyed college student to a confident adult. Though I learned so much there, I knew it wasn't where I wanted to be forever.

Deciding to leave what felt familiar was one of the scariest things I'd ever done and I spent days wondering if I'd made the right choice. It's not that writing wasn't lucrative, but I had to learn how to navigate a remote job that's been unlike any role I've had before. My imposter syndrome was in overdrive because I was waiting for the shoe to drop off my other foot.

Thoughts like "What if I'm not good enough" or "What if my co-workers hate me," plagued my mind because I couldn't believe I'd taken a chance on myself that seemed like it was working in my favor. That only happens in movies, right? In this case, wrong.

The same month I truly decided to focus on my writing career is when I interviewed Whoopi Goldberg. Since then, I've gone on to talk to different authors and even moderated my first book event in Atlanta. But, it still took a while for me to truly be grateful for the amazing things that's happened this year.

The Day I Turned 33 Put Everything Into Perspective

KoolShooters

PMS plagued me for the better part of last week, so I decided to listen to my body and not do anything for my birthday. I kept waiting for myself to feel disappointed for not getting dressed up, but the feeling never came. The sad part is I almost wanted it to because who doesn't want to celebrate their birthday?

It turns out that I did celebrate, even if it wasn't in the typical 'party and dinner' way.

Deciding to focus on feeling peaceful in my new space, I opened my journal and started writing 33 things I'm grateful for. I didn't think I could find that many things, but it got easier to start being appreciative of life instead of focusing on everything I'd even thought went wrong.

In between bites of pizza and cheesy bread, I dropped all expectations and started writing. The more I wrote, the happier I felt which makes me wonder why I didn't do this before. So, without further ado, here is everything I realized during my gratitude practice this year!

The Things I'm Most Grateful For Right Now: 

Brit + Co

"I'm grateful for quiet moments where I can hit the reset button when I need to."

Brit + Co

"I’m grateful for moments I’ve accepted accountability for my actions."

Brit + Co

"I’m grateful for having a supportive family and fiancé."

Brit + Co

"I'm grateful for forgiveness and chances to start over."

Ironically, some of the things I'm grateful for can serve as inspirational fall quotes — which is perfect since my birthday is days after the Autumn Equinox! Aside from that realization, I can genuinely say writing down what I'm grateful for made my birthday better than it's been in years.

I've been focusing on everything that can go right instead of comparing my life to other people and it's a welcomed change. Maybe this is just one of the perks of getting older. If so, sign me up for more birthdays like this!
