Retirement is the end of a long working life and the start of a well-earned rest. The party is usually hosted by family or colleagues, and the invite should honour the person — a line about their career makes it feel personal.
What to include
- The person's name — and their role or years of service.
- A line about the career — "after 35 years with Indian Railways".
- Date, time and venue.
- Who's hosting — family, or the office team.

Tips
- Invite old colleagues — for many retirees, seeing people from early in their career is the best part.
- Speeches — if there will be speeches or a slideshow, mention it so people come on time.
- No gifts? Say "your presence is the gift", or suggest a memory book everyone writes in.
