Clear, ubambiguous communication, clear, unambiguous communication and clear, unambiguous communication.
Playing games of reverse psychology like "I don't want you making a massive fuss for my 30th birthday" screams of immaturity and lack of self belief. For me, it's a greased fast-track to disappointment, resentfulness, and worse: because it degrades the message to men that no means no.
Only once we've got that established, can we consider to considering further needs along this path.

@zonavar68 no hard and fast rule. If birthdays are your big thing, then yes (obviously). If like many, birthdays are best kept low-key, then respect that too.
My ex clearly stated "I don't want you making a massive fuss for my 30th" which I now understand is very common ladyspeak for "I want you to make a massive fuss..." Sorry, but I'm not capable of that level of decoding and I try to treat my partners as adults, not children who don't know their own mind. Say what you mean.
