This birthday feels like Jersey up in here! Jersey Shore star Jenni “JWoww” Farley‘s PR team, with the help of her longtime costar and friend Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio threw the reality star a belated surprise birthday party with some castmates and friends at Martorano’s at Harrahs in Atlantic City to celebrate on March 9. An awesome after party followed at Harrah’s Pool After Dark for the first night of Pauly’s DJ residency — and the entire thing looked like a night at Karma, only better. Scroll through to see pics from JWoww’s incredible 33rd birthday bash!
Judging by Jenni’s reaction when she showed up at the restaurant, she really had no clue anyone was planning a party for her. So cute! We love birthdays too, Pauly — you did a good job with this one.

It’s so sweet to see how loved JWoww feels! The crew that came together for this dinner and dancing night seems to be her “ride or die” pals, so it was definitely a special crew. And yes, we said dancing … more on that later.

Naturally, you can’t get a bunch of Italians together for a birthday and not have a classic Italian meal. The menu for Jenni’s birthday dinner was typical of the Jersey Shore crew in attendance and definitely reminded us of that one semi-fancy spot the guys would take all their summer dates during the original six seasons.

Longtime costar and friend VinnyGuadagnino, 31, did a lot of documenting over the course of the night — who knew he was this good with the camera?
One of the main party planners himself, DJ Pauly D! The 38-year-old guido had a two-part evening in store for the birthday girl — but again, more on that later.
If y’all remember correctly, the one-time carb-eatin’ guido Vinny has hung up his pasta hat in favor of the Keto lifestyle — so he had to make a little adjustment to his plate during dinner.

But it looks like he isn’t the only Keto guido in town! Clearly Jenni thinks he’s doing something right.

The low-carb shaming is real, people, but we’re laughing our asses off at the same time.

After dinner came dessert and the now 33-year-old mom blew out the candles on an adorable purple cake.

The Jersey Shore crew took some opportunities for pics, but TBH, it did make us a little bummed to not see the whole cast partying it up together once again. Next time!
After dinner, the crew made their way to the club and the DJ made sure to get some selfie vids with the insanely huge crowd that came out to celebrate JWoww. Here’s that dancing we were talking about!

Get a load of this audience. Happy birthday, JWoww, indeed!

Naturally, the most notable absence when you’re scrolling through these pics is Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, one of Jenni’s closest BFFs. Turns out, the little meatball is just doing the pregnancy thing, as she’s expecting baby No. 3. But we love the shoutout!

They even had light up letters spelling out the birthday girl’s name! Talk about a birthday BASH, y’all.

JWoww got up on stage, and of course, the crowd went wild — which is exactly the kind of praise the birthday girl deserves.

Though all of our beloved Jersey Shore kids are in different parts of their lives, we really love when they come back together to celebrate each other. Happy birthday, Jenni!
