When one of your employees submits a resignation notice or retirement letter, you might want to send them off with a celebration. Farewell parties, complete with executive catering, provide an excellent way to show departing workers how much you appreciate their time and service with the company. Here are some helpful tips on how to plan one.

How to Plan an Employee Farewell Party

1. Prepare a Slideshow

Show how much you appreciate a long-time worker by displaying a commemorative slideshow at the party. Include photos of professional milestones, such as employee of the month or achievement certificates, along with snapshots from the office, break room, and corporate events. 

2. Hire Executive Catering

No event would be complete without an excellent spread of food for attendees. Get in touch with an executive catering company to provide appetizers, entrees, beverages, and cutlery for the farewell party. Make the gathering even more special by ordering a custom cake. 

3. Make Time to Share Memories

Set up a microphone or podium to allow co-workers to share their favorite memories of the honored guest. Encourage people to talk about significant contributions the person made to the company, as well as any amusing anecdotes they might have from previous years.   

4. Buy a Great Gift 

Give the guest of honor something to commemorate their time with the company, such as a framed photo with handwritten messages or a thank you plaque. Alternatively, keep it simple by putting together a basket full of their favorite snacks, fruits, and chocolates.
