I have a friend here in NJ who is in a similar situation, divorce in progress... house being divided up, kids, etc. They just had a milestone anniversary too.
I'd say, celebrate if you can, Celebrate the adventure you two went on, celebrate that you made it to today.
It also gives an opportunity for a discussion about the future, and whatever that means. Do you both want to be celebrating 30 years or more? If not, what does the future hold for each of you? Certainly, when your daughter graduates from high school, that could provide an opportunity for each of you also.
Celebrating the accomplishment is important because it is a milestone to acknowledge. But that opportunity for pondering the future is important also - for both of you to become the people you want to/need to be.

Best of luck to you both!
