Olivia Bowen’s ‘secret’ ‘death to 20’s 30th birthday party with photobooth, custom photo album and DJ set
OLIVIA Bowen marked a huge milestone with an unusual party theme.
The former Love Island star celebrated her 30th birthday with a gothic “Death to 20s” bash.
It could have been mistaken for a Halloween party with black and dark red balloons.
A huge sign on the way into the bar read: “Welcome to Olivia’s 30th birthday,”
“Join us to mourn the passing of Olivia’s 20’s… Sunglasses to hide your tears, flip flops to ease the pain.
“Now lets raise a glass to the dirty thirty afterlife.”
Pals had a selection of fancy dress to try on to get into the party spirit.
Olivia also had a three-tier black glittery cake with huge sparklers on the top.
Hubby Alex was also on hand to spin the decks, performing a DJ set for the boozed-up revellers.
To keep memories from the evening, a photo booth was installed and Olivia had a photo album made with a skull on the front.
She promised followers that she would share more photos from the night.
“I cannot wait to share the photos from my birthday they’re just ridiculous. So sad it’s over,” she wrote with a crying emoji.
Olivia also celebrated her birthday with Alex and their son Abel at the Four Seasons in Hampshire.
“Wow I mean what a birthday. The big 3 0,” she wrote in the caption.
“I don’t think I have ever felt so exhausted & content at the same time.”
“I feel so lucky to have spent my 30th birthday laughing with the two loves of my life. It was just everything & more, I cannot wait to go back!” she added.
They made a splash in the pool, groomed ponies and had a fondue night in a tent on the grounds.
Olivia recently said that her marriage to Alex Bowen is “better than Posh and Becks” – thanks to understanding her husband’s love language.
The reality star, 29, who met her husband Alex Bowen, 32, on the 2016 series of the ITV2 show, described how loading the dishwasher means more to her than a kiss and a cuddle.
She said: “I do think that you have to learn each other’s love languages. I love the concept of love languages and how someone wants to be loved.
“I am definitely ‘acts of service’ whereas Alex is ‘physical touch’ and ‘words of affirmation’.
“If you know each other then you can respect each other and love in a way that person likes which goes such a long way.
“If I loaded the dishwasher for Alex he would be like, ‘oh cool’ – he wouldn’t be bothered.
“But if someone did that for me I would be like, ‘oh my God!’”
Olivia, who welcomed their son Abel in June last year, added: “We have had really hard times so it is definitely worth investing in your relationship and making sure you go on date nights to make sure you are putting each other first.
“You have to remember that you two were together first so you have to give each other that time.”
Olivia and Alex also made Love Island history when they became the first couple from the show to walk down the aisle in 2018.
