70th Birthday Parties, Step by Step

A 70th is usually a family gathering across generations, often at home, in a hired hall or at a restaurant the family loves. A caterer covering the city, the northern and southern suburbs, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast brings finger food, buffet spreads, seated meals and pizza from a wood oven to wherever you hold it.

What to plan for:

Time of day – a lunch or afternoon party often suits older guests better than a late night.
Seating – make sure every guest can sit; a buffet with tables beats a standing cocktail party.
Access – check steps, parking near the door and toilets on the same level.
Dietary needs – vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menus are available; ask guests ahead.
Speeches – a microphone and a short slideshow of photos across the decades.

For a venue rather than a home party, see birthday party venues, and for extra seating, furniture hire or a marquee.

A marquee gives cover from wind and sun; ask about sides and heaters for the evening.
Hire tables and chairs so every guest has a seat.
Give the caterer kitchen access details and the time food should be served.

Questions for the caterer

Which areas do you cover, and is there a travel fee?
Do you bring staff to serve and clear?
Can you do a mix of canapés and a sit-down meal?
What is the final date for numbers?

Making it personal

Collect photos from family for a slideshow or display board.
Ask a grandchild or old friend to give a short speech.
Order a cake that nods to the guest of honour's interests.

Yes. The caterer listed here covers the city, the suburbs, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast with finger food, a buffet, a seated meal or pizza from a wood oven.

What time should a 70th birthday start?

Lunch or mid-afternoon suits most older guests, with time for speeches before people head home.

How do we cater for dietary needs at a 70th?

Ask guests ahead and pass the list to the caterer; vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menus are available.

Do we need a marquee for a backyard 70th?

On the coast or by the bay, a marquee gives cover from wind and sun. Ask the hire company about sides and heaters.

How do we make a 70th easy for everyone?

Seat every guest, keep the party on one level and arrange lifts or transport for those who need it.
