Farewell Party Ideas

Farewell party ideas can require a lot of mental effort!
If you can't think of anything elaborate, just remember that the simplest and sincerest goodbye party is still highly appreciated.
.
What makes a mere get-together into a farewell is to make sure you are honouring the person leaving.
How do you do this?

The farewell can be held as a:

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

Whether you are organising the gathering for yourself or someone else, keep the 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 night out! Or that people there might want to remember you nice!!

Notice that the above going away events involve food.
If you are training for the Olympics and need to enter a lower weight class, 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 shin-dig at a club where you will have to shout to be heard.

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