Creative Retirement Invitations Set Mood for Event

A retirement party should honor the past and celebrate the future. Set the mood for the festivities with creative retirement invitations.

You can print elegant, formal invitations or whimsical postcards. The type of invitations you select will tell your guests what to expect at the retirement party. You might choose a printable invitation that relates to guest of honor’s retirement plans. For someone who plans to travel, use an invitation that looks like a map or passport. Decorate with maps and travel posters. Invite retirement party guests to wear their most outlandish tourist garb.

For a more formal retirement dinner, print a picture of the honoree on the front of the invitation. Inside the invitation give details of the event along with some work history and retirement plans. Here is some sample text you might include on the invitation:

Please join us as we celebrate with
Mike Downing on his retirement.
Mike has worked in the sales division at Clock Co for 35 years.
He and his wife, Carol, plan to enjoy a life of travel and grandchildren

If the honoree is moving to a warmer climate, print informal invitations with a tropical or beach party theme. Use large sun hats, sunglasses, suntan lotion, beach towels and beach umbrellas for party decorations. Auction off the retiree’s snow shovel and winter boots for Monopoly money.

If life after retirement means a chance to work in the garden, plan a garden party. Print invitations that look like seed packets. For party favors, fill small terra cotta pots with jellybeans and plastic flowers. Use watering pots and other garden tools as party decorations.

For the retiree who plans to live a life on the links, send golf invitations. For a truly memorable invitation, order golf balls with customized printing. The golf balls can say,

"Mike’s Retirement Party, June 11, 4:00 p.m., Hillcrest Country Club." Mail the golf balls nestled in small boxes filled with Easter grass.
