milestone birthday
Significant age marker
A milestone birthday marks a significant age, typically one ending in zero—thirty, forty, fifty—or other culturally important ages like eighteen or twenty-one.
These birthdays often prompt reflection on life stages and may be celebrated more elaborately than ordinary birthdays: We're throwing a big party for her milestone birthday.
