- Do go for a theme party: Birthdays that are based on a theme are always a hit, it could be a teen-themed one, a friends themed birthday or anything else that you feel like enjoying on this special day.
- Do try a black dress: Thirties are the best time to flaunt black outfits, whether it’s the LBD or a long maxi dress. So if you’re in the mood for black, it’s surely one of the best colour options.
- Do match the decor with your dress: We’re all guilty of this, choosing a dress and then wanting everything around us to perfectly complement it. Your birthday is your day to shine so don’t hold back and make sure all arrangements work together to make you shine like you deserve girl!
