Millions of baby boomers reported retirement status by the third quarter of 2020. That translates to numerous retirement parties in the coming years.
Retirement is a vital milestone marking the transition from a busy and productive lifestyle, with life on the fast lane, to a quieter and more relaxed way of life. Not many are thrilled to enter this chapter of life for one reason or another.
So why not make this transition the best one they’ve ever had and make them feel loved?
Here are a few things that a retirement party should focus on.
Speeches
Paying tributes to the retiree’s contribution to the organization is the bee’s knees of retirement parties. Nothing can replace it. And while speeches from coworkers, bosses, friends and family should be part of the action, a lighthearted host or a great orator will come in handy.
Highlight the retiree’s accomplishments and efforts to help others find their feet in the organization.
Theme
We all have that one thing that plays the tunes to our hearts. It could be a place like Kruger National Park or the Bahamas, or an activity such as opera, music performance or art.
Since it’s their day, warm the retiree’s heart and go all out to use the theme of what they love most. Have inflatable animals and animal paintings if animals and nature are their passion.
Celebrate the Retiree
You can play video interviews on how others remember the retiree’s contributions.
For a bit more enjoyment, you can initiate a roast, where people make fun of the retiree while at the same time praising their achievements. Make sure the retiree and the guest of honor have a good sense of humor before going down that road.
