While some people might not look forward to reaching the next milestone after 21, your thirties really can be the best time of your life! Being in your 20s can often mean late nights out partying and trying to figure out your path in life whereas once you turn 30 you become more self-assured and ready to take on the world. If you know someone who’s about to enter their third decade soon enough, it’s probably time to start thinking about sorting out a 30th birthday card. We know that it can be hard to think of the perfect message to include in your card. So, we’ve come up with a bunch of different 30th birthday messages ranging from kind and funny (and even shockingly rude).
