Any retirement is cause for a special "create memories" party, since their retirement usually happens only once in a person's life. The guest of honor might not feel as young as he once did and, outwardly, might not welcome a retirement celebration. A great theme for any retirement party is "Good Old Days" celebration, where memorabilia from childhood through adulthood is integrated throughout the entire retirement party. A surprise retirement party is always an option, but the guest of honor might be expecting such a retirement party.

James Taylor is retiring; he's put in his time, he leaves us now with warmer plans in mind. Just "R & R" and taking life slow, at home in the garden, or perhaps Mexico!		Forget the black tie it's no formal affair Just come as you are for that casual flair, We'll drink and laugh as we all reminisce, It's a gathering for a friend that will surely be missed.
Too quickly the time has passed us by, now it's time for us to say good-bye, Please join us to wish him the very best, as he starts his long and well deserved rest.

You should purchase personalized retirement party invitations that match your retirement party theme and consider adding a photo of the retiree when he was younger, maybe even a baby picture. Your guests will enjoy the personal touch! Use old childhood pictures or newspaper headlines, photocopied in color, saying "Look who's retiring...". For example, "Nifty, Nifty, Look who’s off". Inform guests of the attire, special dress or costumes needed (if applicable) and what kind of gifts, if any, would be welcome. The personalized retirement invitations should include all the pertinent information the guests would need to know. Here are some ideas:

• Retirement Open House - "Please drop by between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m."
• Retirement Cocktail Party - "Join us for drinks and snacks from 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m."
• Retirement Potluck Dinner - "Please bring your favorite dish. We are eating at 6:00 p.m."
