Scavenger Hunt

• Plan an intricate scavenger hunt that will send guests scrambling in search of 30 clues. Give the winner a bottle of 30-year-old wine.
  
  

Game night

• Sit around playing video games released in 1995 like Galactic Pinball, Kirby Super Star and Mega Man while recreating a teenager's life in the mid-1990s.
  
  

Dancing

• Pull out all the stops by playing the top music from 1995, "Boombastic" by Shaggy, "I Like It, I Love It" by Tim McGraw, "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam and you have to play the "Macarena" by Los del Ro. No party in the mid-1990s was complete without it.
  
  

Movie night

• Invite all guests to wear costumes from movies that were released in 1995 such as "Major Payne," "Die Hard: With a Vengeance," "Apollo 13," "Braveheart," "Desperado" or "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls."
  
  

Considerations

• The activities for a 30th birthday party are contingent upon the size of the group which attends. If the group is too large, all party-goers may not be able to participate. And if it is too small, there may not be enough people to make the activity worthwhile.
