Retirement Party Invitations: Surprise, Luncheon & More
Twelve designs for the party itself: three surprise parties with the secret on the card (Shhh! It's a Surprise, Don't Tell Him!, Arrive by 6:15); a luncheon, a long dinner table under string lights and a come-and-go coffee and cake; an open house with balloons on the porch and an office farewell with a paper airplane; a backyard cookout and a patio BBQ; and two birthday-and-retirement cards for turning 65 or 70. Each back carries the line a party needs: who's paying, when to arrive, what to bring.
