The Byron Bay 40th Birthday Planning Checklist

A 40th in Byron Bay usually brings everyone along: old friends, family, and plenty of children running about. That shifts the plan towards an afternoon start, a long table outdoors and food that suits every age.

Wood-fired pizza does that well. It's shared, it's quick to serve, and it keeps young guests happy while adults linger.

Choosing a caterer for a 40th:

Per-person pizza from $44 per person suits a casual backyard gathering with a clear head count
A fuller wood-fired package from $3,700 covers bigger guest lists with canapés, grazing and a seated-style feast
Ask both about dessert, as a pizza oven can also turn out sweet pizzas for the kids
Check both cover your area – they work across Byron Bay & Surrounds, the hinterland, Lennox Head & Ballina and Mullumbimby & Brunswick

Round out the day with bands for live music, a marquee in case of rain and event stylists to dress the table.

Start mid-afternoon so younger kids can enjoy the party before bedtime
Set up a separate shady area with games or a craft table
Ask a teenager or two to keep an eye on the little ones in exchange for pocket money
Feed the kids first so the adult meal runs at its own pace

Styling a long-table 40th

Hire trestle tables and bench seating so everyone sits together
Use festoon lights for the evening and simple greenery for the table
Set the speeches near the oven, where people naturally gather

Weather and timing

Summer storms often roll in late afternoon, so have a marquee ready
Spring and autumn give warm days and cool evenings for an outdoor party
Book caterers early for a Saturday from October to April
