  1. Why will this person leave?Where will he go?Understanding this will help you personalize it based on the context.
  2. Invite people who you believe have a more or less intimate relationship with this person.You don't have to know the guests personally, the important thing is that you share a bond with the person who will be going.It will be the support shown towards him that will unite those present.
    • You may want to fill out the guest list on this person's Facebook account;just avoid inviting all his friends!
    • This is a great time to find volunteers to help with organization and cleaning.Make sure you ask each person you want to involve, don't assume everyone wants to help.
  3. You need to make sure you select a day and time that is flexible for the various commitments of the guests and, above all, those of the guest of honor!
    • Are you planning a surprise party?Work with the guest of honor's partner, family or employers to ensure the party doesn't get in the way of things on their agenda.
    • If the party is supposed to be a surprise, make sure all guests know right away.Don't discuss the party in front of the birthday person, don't even try to whisper ideas to another person or talk about the party in their presence!
  4. Whether it's a surprise party or the guest of honor knows about it, you need a venue with the right capacity for the total number of guests.
    • If it's not possible to have the party at your home, you could organize it at the home of the guest of honor, provided that you take responsibility for preparing everything and cleaning up.
    • Is it a farewell party for a work colleague?Make sure you have permission to celebrate in the office by talking to your boss or HR department.Also check the protocol for these occasions, if available.
    • Parks are ideal for outdoor events if the weather is good.In some cases you can rent an area for a picnic without spending too much.
  5. You can do this in numerous ways, from posting a flyer in the office break area to using social networks to more traditional methods, such as sending invitations by post or calling guests by phone.
    • If space or food is limited, make sure guests can contact you to confirm their attendance.This way you will actually know how many people will participate.
    • Don't send invitations too late, or you run the risk of no one attending.For etiquette, it's acceptable to send out last-minute invitations, but you'll want to do so at least three weeks in advance to ensure the party is a success.[1] .
  6. If you're planning on throwing a small party, you may be able to handle everything on your own.However, if there will be many guests at the farewell party dedicated to Aunt Mimi and Uncle Marco, then it would be a good idea to ask a couple of reliable friends and family members to help you.
    • If people ask you what they can do to help or what dishes they can bring to the party, don't be shy about giving instructions.Explain exactly what is needed.The party will go smoothly.You might even make new friends.
    • Delegate various tasks appropriately.If you are unsure about the trustworthiness of the guest of honor's sister, don't ask her to take care of an important task, such as the cake.
  7. No party is complete without something to eat and drink!You can opt for something simple, like chips and soda, or turn to a caterer to order platters of sandwiches.
    • Don't have a big budget?You could host a party where each guest contributes a dish.If you opt for this method, make sure guests are aware of this and that you have enough food and drinks in case some guests forget.
    • Don't forget the cake!No farewell party is complete without a cake that says “Good Luck!”.Buy one at the bakery or try your hand at making your own.Bonus points if you find out about your guest of honor's favorite flavor!
    • Parties aren't just about food and drinks.Don't forget to buy glasses, plates, utensils and decorations.You can also make them yourself with the brushes and colors you have at home, all it takes is a pinch of imagination.

  1. Depending on the decorations you plan to arrange, you can go directly to the location where the party will be held at the scheduled time or start preparing everything an hour or two before it starts.
    • If you're using a space that doesn't belong to you, like a living room or someone else's house, be sure to find out ahead of time if there are any rules regarding decorations.
    • Hide or cover valuable items that you don't want to get broken or damaged during the party.
  2. When the guest of honor arrives or the party officially begins, it's appropriate to remember the reason you're all gathered together.The speech should be short and concise.Wish this person well and let the party really begin.
  3. You definitely want to have fun, but remember that your priority is to make sure that other guests don't have any problems, especially the guest of honor!
    • Keep an eye on your food and drinks, refilling or removing empty trays when necessary.
    • If you have games planned, make sure they are introduced after everyone has had time to socialize and grab a bite to eat.
  4. Once the party is over, accept help from anyone who offers to clean up.Thank guests for attending and making the party special for the guest of honor.
    • Leave everything as you found it, whether you're using the office break room or the picnic area at the park.
    • Sometimes guests offer gifts or cards for the person who will be leaving to wish them good luck.Make sure he gets them before he leaves!

Advice

  • Stores that sell everything for one dollar can be a great source for finding cheap decorations and other party supplies.
  • Don't forget to thank the helpers!Whether they helped you serve the drinks or prepare the cake, you need to make sure you thank everyone who offered their help to make the party a success.
  • If you're throwing a surprise party, arrange for someone to accompany the guest of honor to the location so you know when they're coming.This reduces the risk of him returning early, ruining the surprise.

Warnings

  • If you don't have enough food, recruit someone to run to the nearest supermarket or restaurant and buy ready-made meals!The party host should not leave.Otherwise, divide the food you have into smaller portions.
  • Uninvited guests and people you don't like may show up.Just remember that this party is not for you.It is important that everyone who wants to greet the guest of honor has the opportunity to attend, so that he knows that he is loved by everyone.
