“Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.” –Fred Rogers
Retirement is something that most working folks anticipate for years before the big date arrives. The idea of enjoying time with friends, loved ones, and grandchildren and doing anything you please is pretty exciting to ponder.
If you are planning a retirement party for your co-worker or partner, Seacoast has some ideas to make your event memorable and a perfect send-off into the retirement years.
Retirement parties don’t always need a theme, but for those that do have them, it’s a fun and easy way to create a cohesive party including decor, party favors, activities and more.
For instance, if your retiree loves golf or other sports, you may want to take advantage of the Seacoast Events Putt Putt On The Go package or some of our giant games that will keep guests entertained and happy for the entire event.
For those who plan to spend their retirement years in a warmer locale where golf is an integral part of their daily activity, the Putt Putt On The Go package allows guests to enjoy a mobile mini golf course in 9 and 18-hole options. Our professionally designed and well-maintained mobile mini golf course provides an elegant experience for you and your guests. Each hole comes with a fun-themed obstacle.
Seacoast provides everything you need for a successful party including putters, golf balls, scorecards, and pencils. You supply the guests and our team does all the work from delivery and set up to removal at the end of the event.
If your theme revolves around games or entertainment, Seacoast can help you with the delivery of pub games, arcade games, life-sized sports games, or giant games. The choice is yours.
To plan a truly unique retirement party, include things that are special to your honoree. For instance, choose a playlist that denotes music from their youth, teen years and 20s. Choose the honoree’s favorite foods and desserts to make it a day that is all about them.
To visually make the event all about your retiree, find old photos to display of them at different stages of their life. Ask guests to send in images for a digital display or on display throughout your venue.
For some fun entertainment, create a trivia game with questions about the retiree such as what year he began at the company or what his favorite work moment was. Make it unique to the group and the person you are celebrating.
No retirement party is complete without gifts for the retiree whether they are heartfelt or humorous. The perfect gift for the retiree may include photos from the event that they and their guests can take home with them to remember the occasion. Check out our photo booth options with a custom overlay that could say “Bob’s Retirement 2024” or whatever you choose for your theme.
