Guests were entertained with a number of fun activities including a large jumping castle, a carnival-style food truck, personalised cookies and free-flowing champagne.
The backyard was also decorated with trendy white garden furniture, a hammock and customised balloons.
During the festivities, the South Sydney Rabbitohs star and the Bras ‘N’ Things model spent time socialising with guests including Tom’s older brother Sam, 30, and Bachelor star Jackson Garlick, 27.

Tom and Tahlia became engaged in December while they were holidaying at a farm to celebrate their three-year anniversary.
Tahlia confirmed the happy news on Instagram soon afterwards, writing: ‘And our 2019 ended just perfectly!’
‘Where it all begin in 2016. Our first holiday at the farm and three years later he’s down on one knee at the same place!’

In August last year, the pair welcomed their first child together, daughter Sophie.
It has already been a big year for the couple, who sold their Sydney penthouse apartment for $1.55 million earlier last month.
The couple made a tidy $100,000 profit.

Tom also became an Australian citizen in January.
The sportsman arrived in the country eight-years-ago, with the expectation he would only stay for one year.
Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, he said: ‘Who would’ve thought? I’d only signed a one-year deal at the time and I wanted to give it a go.
‘I couldn’t have imagined how my life would unfold.’
How time flies! Tom and Tahlia share daughter Sophie, who she gave birth to in August of last year. This year, the couple sold their penthouse and Tom became an Australian citizen
