What kind of party do you throw for the 30th birthday of a man who had the wedding of the century just last year? For Duchess Catherine, the answer was easy -- take him to the water and throw him in.

A group of friends that included longtime pals Thomas van Straubenzee, David Jardine Paterson and Prince Harry were there to celebrate as well, indulging in a home-cooked dinner at a rented house in the evening. As Eonline.com reports, Kate did the shopping for the meal herself that day (though we're not certain about who took charge of the pots and pans).
