30th Birthday Food Ideas

With so many recipes and party food ideas out there, I’m breakin’ it down to different types to make your party planning easier!

Food Bar Ideas

Food bars at parties are ALWAYS a good idea. Guests can eat off of it as they wish, and food bars are super forgiving when it comes to different types and flavors of food for a broad variety!

Hot Dog Bar: 30 or not, he’s going to love it! Complete with the typical toppings and super fun “out-of-the-box” topping ideas to boot!

Nacho Bar: I don’t know a guest who wouldn’t love having chips, cheese and endless amounts of Mexican food favorite at their fingertips! 

Taco Bar: Now if you set up a taco bar AND a nacho bar, I’d be in heaven! Here are taco bar and topping ideas for you to make it even easier!

Coffee Bar: Looking for an early morning or lowkey celebration? Hosting a coffee bar full of different coffee flavors and pastries to go along with it may be just what he wants!

Yogurt Bar: If the man of honor is keeping things on the healthy side, setting up a yogurt bar full of healthy choices can help satisfy the birthday sweet cravings, but keeping things on track too! Add pudding to it for kids and/or those who aren’t fans of yogurt!

Dip Bar: When it comes to parties, I LOVE a good buffet full of different dips. Which gave the idea of why a dip bar is such a good idea. Set out different kinds of dips, with a variety of “dippers” and guests can munch all night!
