The Adelaide 40th Birthday Planning Checklist

A 40th often brings together family, old school friends and workmates, so Adelaide hosts tend to look for a room that feels like an occasion without being stiff. A heritage bluestone house on North Terrace, with old-world rooms and a conservatory under a glass roof, prices its functions from $52 per person, and suits a dinner that runs into dancing.

Others keep it at home or in a suburban pub room and bring in the entertainment.

Choices that shape an Adelaide 40th:

  • Sit-down dinner or cocktail party: a seated meal suits speeches and older guests, while canapés keep a large crowd moving.
  • A heritage room in the city or a suburban hotel close to where most guests live.
  • Casino tables with trained dealers, which give guests something to do besides talk and dance.
  • A mirror photo booth with an attendant, from $700, for prints and a shared gallery.
  • A backdrop with arched panels or giant light-up numbers, with hire from $100.
  • A plan for speeches, a cake moment and a clear finish time.

Lock in the date and room first, then add the extras: birthday party venues, photo booths and poker and casino hire.

City heritage room or suburban hotel

  • A North Terrace heritage venue works for a dressed-up dinner and photos in period rooms, and handles groups from small to very large.
  • Suburban pub rooms suit a relaxed night and are easier for guests with young children and babysitters to manage.
  • A house party with hired extras gives the most control over music, timing and food, but needs a plan for parking, neighbours and clean-up.
  • Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale venues are lovely for a 40th lunch, but arrange a bus or driver for guests.

Booking the extras

  • Photo booth, casino and backdrop suppliers mostly cover the metropolitan regions, so mention a Hills or Southern Vales address up front.
  • Confirm set-up times, power points and floor space with the venue before booking tables or a booth.
  • Per-person venue pricing means the guest list sets the bill, so settle numbers before choosing a package.
  • Summer and the lead-up to Christmas are busy, and outdoor parties in the heat need shade and water.
