What are you going to do for your 30th? If it's before the wedding, are you having the dilemna of not really being able to afford to do anything?

My 30th is in May and we get married in August. There is no way we can afford to do anything grand, but I keep getting asked if I am having a party or if h2b is taking me away, and feel like I have to do something different to the normal birthday celebrations. All I think we'll be able to afford is a meal out somewhere and that's what we always do!

    I'm 30 in April and I've just done thread to help me decide what to do for my birthday. I get married in September so not much money to flash around. Im having a party at home for close friends and family, this way it feels a bit more special than a normal birthday and hopefully wont cost too much.

    I'm also 30 in May. I'm pretty much resigned to having a meal in with close family and that's it, because we're on a saving frenzy since he proposed at Christmas.

    I don't really mind, as when people have asked me what I'm doing for my 30th, I've said 'hibernating' Smiley smile

    (Oh, if it makes you feel any better, I know a whole bunch of people who were/will be pregnant for their 30th - at least you can have a drink or two!)

    My birthday is before my wedding, and I do feel as though I cant do anything too big...

    I am having my girls over for chick flicks, cocktails and cake though and kicking OH out... best of both worlds I think.

    Think I may have mentioned that I too am 30 in May!! I am also an OM now so trying to plan something for my birthday is filling the void I sometimes still get from not WP anymore.

    So many options though, I might just do all of them. My birthday is also Bank Holiday Monday so long weekend.....woohoo!!

    I'm 30 in may too....on the 4th! theres a few of us in May then!

    I get married two days before my 30th on the 2nd may so cant really expect a party or people to come back down to ours!! think we are just spending the day with my parents and then going on honeymoon a few days later.

    We were toying with the idea of a seperate city break when we get back from honeymoon to celebrate my birthday but think there wont be enough money left!!

    I'm 30 in 7 days time ☹️, another week and I will be the BIG 30!, nothing planned, obviously wedding is after my birthday and struggling to find the money to pay for that let alone do anything else.

    One of my friends made me write a note stating that I will get pissed for my 30th but at the moment that doesn't look like it's going to happen, might just try and talk her into a girlie night in with a few bottles, take away and a DVD.
