Help want to have a surprise 30th Bday party for husband?

Does he like sports? If so, I would get a bunch of themed stuff with is favorite team. Football would probably allow you the most options. You could get helmet dip holders, themed cups, etc. Have everyone wear a jersey. As for games, I would definitely skip them altogether. Just having a great party with food, friends and some time to connect with people always sounds like a party to me.

Is he a wine Connoisseur? You could get some great wine, cheese, bread, fruit & have a fancy meal. Again, no games, just great conversation, friends & a relaxing night.

Does he love cars/nascar/racing? You could do a traditional dinner, crock-pot stuff and appetizers with just some car/nascar/racing themed items.

You know him best so whatever he's into, I would run with that. good luck and have fun!!

invite friends and family over to your house and have a nice meal, maybe have them bring some dishes to help take the load off of you. Or if possible, if it's not too expensive you can have his favorite restaurant cater, so that you don't have to worry about the food prep. at all! :)

play board games, watch movies, or just sit there and talk!

Make up a slide show of him w/ family, friends, pets, and you. This is always a nice gift for him as well, and I have noticed that it generally starts conversations like 'hey! do you remember when.....'!! :)

What ever you do, I'm sure he'll have fun and enjoy the time spent with loved ones.

Good luck!

You could do a poker theme party.. Easy to decorate, easy to coordinate. Set up a table and get some chips (poker chips) and cards. It is as easy as that.

Dips - there is an easy Velveeta Cheese and chili dip - it is on the back of the box - it goes in a crock pot so it is super easy to make and keep warm! Goes great with tortilla chips - add some salsa and some finger foods and you are good to go!

How about just getting together to share a meal and maybe watch a movie? If you're looking for party games, I'd suggest skipping them.

Maybe a bit pot of chili, an assortment of toppings for people to "dress" their own bowl, and a good action movie.

or you can make a dip I always bring to parties. There's never any leftover

Take a package of Inmation crab

Shred it with your hands

Put into a mixing bowl

In another bowl put 1 package of cream cheese.

Mix it with your beaters

Until it is flexible not too stiff or too runny.

Combine the crab into the cream cheese

shape into a ball with your hands

When formed into a ball

Make a lil indent in the top of it.

Pour cocktail sauce into it

Let it run over the sides a little bit.

Put on a platter&have Ritz crackers around your platter.

Hope all this helps!! Good luck!

Make it a sexy costume party, and only invite the good looking friends. Then buy lots of alchohol and take it from there.
