Retirement Party Ideas

10 Fabulous Ideas for the Perfect 50th Birthday


 

Upcoming retirement celebration? It can be hard to know to celebrate such an event, but it definitely deserves some commencement! You’ve successfully finished your working era and are onto a new chapter in life, and that’s a really big deal! Whether you want a huge blow-out, or something super intimate and casual, you should totally celebrate your accomplishment. We’ve put together a list of some great ideas for celebrating one’s retirement! So, even if you have no idea where to start, we’ve got you covered.

A Cruise
A
cruise is a super great option for the more adventurous. There are tons of boats that are available in nearly every big city for day or night cruises that are perfect for celebrating! Cruises are great for more intimate parties, because the guest list can’t be super extravagant (unless your budge is, too). We suggest a sunset cruise with drinks and appetizers! It’s a super fun and memorable way to celebrate one’s retirement, while still keeping it fairly relaxed.

A Luncheon
A luncheon is a classic way to celebrate, so you really can’t go wrong here. Whether you are looking for a more up-scale luncheon, or something pretty casual, your guests will love celebrating you and enjoying some delicious food, too. If you have a larger guest list, this might be a good option for you since there are tons of different venue options.

Golf Course Dinner
If you’re an avid golfer, or just a lover of beautiful views, dinner at your local golf course or country club would be perfect! It’s a super classy way to celebrate the end of your working era. You can even hit a few balls beforehand!

Wine Tasting
Wine tasting is great for any occasion, so it’s no surprise that it made this list. Wineries make the loveliest backdrops for your celebration, and with great wine and food we promise you won’t be disappointed. Many wineries offer tours, as well, which would be a great addition to your retirement wine tasting party.

If you’re more of a beer person, beer tasting at a local brewery is another super great, similar, option!

Tea Party
Looking to get dressed up? Have a retirement tea party! Your guests will love the opportunity to attend such a rare event, and it’ll definitely be memorable! There will be tons of yummy indulgences, and it’ll be a blast experiencing the tea party culture! Look online for tea rooms near you.

Retirement Games / Activities
Plan a super fun retirement party around games! There are tons of retirement-specific games out there to celebrate with, so your party guests won’t be bored. This option is great for more casual, at-home, retirement parties. Smash the alarm clock, having guests create a memory bank, a roast (If the retiree has a good sense of humor), or retirement Mad Libs are all great options!

BBQ
If the weather allows for it, host a barbeque! It’s one of the more casual parties, so it’s great if you want something super laidback. It doesn’t require much prep work (unless you want it to) or planning, but still is so much fun!
