Farewell Party Ideas

farewell party figures

A sincere and positive farewell party is very important.
It can be elaborate or simple.
What makes a get-together into a farewell is honouring the person leaving.

The send-off can be anything, for example: farewell party food

lunch,
morning or afternoon tea,
after-work drinks,
dinner,
party,
barbeque.

Whether you are organising the party for yourself or someone else, I suggest keeping food simple, so more quality time is spent with the people that will be missed.

A buffet, pizza, takeaways, restaurant or bar are all low-fuss ideas.

If you are going out, book a table! Don't spend that last night looking for somewhere to eat.

farewell toast

As for drinks, to celebrate a new chapter in life you can have toast after toast of bubbly or shots of vodka, or mull over good times with red wine.

Keep in mind that it might be nice to actually remember the party! Or that people at the party might want to remember you nice!!

Notice that the usual going away party involves food.
If you are training for the Olympics and need to enter a lower weight class, I suggest an event that is centred on a ritual or activity, such as:

painting a mural,
throwing shoes in a tree (common at some workplaces), or
ceremonial gift-giving of items to help people remember you

Make sure the activity still allows for quality time and talking, so don't centre the entire party on a club where you will have to shout to be heard.

And of course, bring a camera...these events are about memories after all.
