Is it odd to host my own 30th birthday?

For most of my adult life I have either gone on small trips or to events for my birthday. I usually casually invite friends if it’s something they’re also interred in. I’ve been with my, now, husband for a long time, so a lot of birthdays have been spent just him and I doing what we like to do, which has been great.

For my 30th, I’d like to change it up and would really love to have a themed house party; however I feel a bit odd about inviting people to come celebrate MY birthday.
I was thinking I could write it but have my husband send it (he’s a lovely guy but horrible planner), but it’d be super obvious I wrote it.

So is it a no to plan your own party? Or is there a certain way I should go about it?

I’m not the best with reading social things so any tips are super appreciated!

Update: Thank you all so much for your responses!! It seems like the majority think it’s normal, so that gives me confidence to move forward with planning. I certainly won’t ask anyone for anything, I’ll provide all the food and drinks. Thanks again!

If I’m paying back a gift, what do I say if I want to buy again?

Hi! So I got my down payment on my first home as a gift but I am willingly paying it back. I’m looking into selling and buying a different home. I assume a lender will ask about that transaction in account so I’m curious how how go about that without affecting anything?
