Retirement Party Ideas
Ideas for a Retirement Party
If you're planning your boss's retirement party or maybe your
parents, here's a list of things you need to know before you
pull out that party hat.
1. Have a party theme
Think of a party theme that everyone could enjoy. One of the
most enjoyable retirement party themes is "old and useless
things". You could ask the guests to bring gifts that are
practically of no use or old. You could also have an alarm clock
smashing ceremony, where the retiree gets to smash an alarm
clock because he doesn't need to get up anymore.
2. Be aware of the retiree's interest
Take note of all the interest he has. You could, for example,
set the tables in various themes or stages of his life. The
retiree might be a baseball card collector, a volunteer
firefighter, and a Sinatra fan. You could set up a table for
each of his activity or interest. You could also set some tables
with him being depicted as a father, brother and son.
You could also scan pictures of him collected all through his
working years and as a family man. Run it in a presentation
program e.g. PowerPoint and have it run throughout the party.
This would give the guest a more complete picture of the
retiree. Burn the pictures on a CD and have it as a gift or
souvenir.
3. Put Together a Roast in Video
Roasting
the retiree is great, but it could be better if done
before hand. In that way the interviewee's can edit or redo the
roast till they're satisfied. Plus, the retiree gets to keep a
copy of the roast.
4. A Quiz Show
You can setup a 'quiz show' type program in which the friends
and family get to answer questions on the retiree. Questions
include anything and everything about the retiree. If the
gathering is mostly co-workers, you may limit the questions
pertaining to work and hobbies. If the guest is mostly friends
and relatives more personal questions would be great. Small
prizes may be given away to correct answers.
Be sure that there are a lot of questions. Make sure that most
of the questions are easy, but include a few stumpers. If the
questions are all hard, it might not be too fun. Have the
questions entertaining also. Allow the questions to reveal some
of the retiree's personality and hobbies.
