Invitations

  • Create unique and personal invitations with photos.
  • Send an index card and ask each guest to write down a memory or funny story about the Retiree and bring it to the party. Put out a Card Box for the memory cards, or put them all in an album with photos from the party for the retiree.

Decorations

  • Photos of the retiree make great decorations. Use them on tables with photo holders, and on walls and windows.
  • Balloons, streamers, festooning, crepe, confetti and banners will add a festive touch.
  • A Custom Banner is perfect for a Retirement Party. The retiree will feel honored seeing their name in print, and they will have a memento to keep.

Tableware

  • Use disposable tableware to make your job easier.
  • Plastic glassware is fancy looking, but affordable and disposable. Great for any party.
  • Don’t forget to order extra tablecovers for the food and gift tables. Table skirts are a nice touch too; they add a more finished and festive look.
