Retirement is a significant event in a person’s life and a chance to honor their successes and contributions to your company. There’s no better way to say thank you than with an office party. Taking the time to organize commemorations, business catering, and other fun activities for the retiree will create a lasting memory that they’ll look fondly on as they move forward.

How to Throw the Perfect Retirement Party

1. Arrange Commemorations

A heartfelt commemoration is an excellent way to say thanks. Have an autograph book sent around the office in the weeks before the party or present a plaque, watch, or another commemorative gift. You can choose something unique like donating to their favorite charity, or a functional retirement gift, like a new golf club.

2. Share Stories & Speeches

Those that know the retiree best will likely have plenty of positive things to say, so allow them to say thank you. It can be a formal speech and toast or a relaxed story about a memorable time with them. Try creative options like roasting the retiree (if appropriate), or encouraging video interviews from those that can’t attend. You can also film attendees’ private stories and well-wishes during the party and present the video to the retiree after.

3. Hire a Business Catering Service

To bring the event together, hire a business catering service. Employees will love enjoying a delicious meal while listening to speeches, and you’ll also alleviate the stress of handling food and spirits on your own. Consider choosing the retiree’s favorite dishes or creating a retirement-themed menu.
