Throwing a Going Away Party – Ideas for Great Fun

Begin the Preparation Early

Your friends need to know you’re about to throw a going away party at least a couple of weeks in advance. Just like you have a day job and things to do, so do they. Don’t just assume that since it is your goodbye party, they will be free, if you call them to attend in the last minute. Besides, if you will be throwing a theme moving party, your guests may need to prepare with a costume, or perhaps with a gift for you, too. Don’t take away from them their opportunity to show you how much they value your friendship by taking from them the time to get ready.

Pick a Location

Decide if the party going to be in your yard or inside your home – depending on the weather, the available space, the theme of your party, etc.

Keep things simples – save yourself the effort of washing dishes and get plastic dishes, cups and cutlery. Your going away party doesn’t need to be fancy – with all the boxes around and most of the things in your home being already packed, it will be difficult to create sa posh atmosphere.

Choosing the Food

Cream tea sounds nice but is it really appropriate for the occasion? You have to pick the sort of food that will match the theme of the party or the guests’ taste.

You can go for home made pies,  or buy crisps, biscuits, chocolate, etc. from the supermarket, or call the caterers – whatever works for you (and your budget).

How About a Theme?

Do you want your moving party to have a theme? It could be something fun like a Caribbean party, winter party, pajamas party, or anything else that comes to your mind. It could also be inspired by the city or country you’re moving to, the occasion of the move or anything else that you can think of. If you’re moving abroad, you can celebrate your relocation by placing around flags of your new country, preparing some of its typical food, etc. Just use your imagination.

You can also talk to the guests you have invited and discuss with them what sort of a party they feel like having. In this way they will have more fun at your moving party.

Will You Invite the Kids?

You could throw a going away party only with the adults but if you have friends with children, you could make your party earlier during the day and invite the little ones as well. Have in mind that you should prepare some food and drinks for them, and definitely some games so they could have fun.

Book the Removals in Time

Having a farewell party is great but be sure to stay focused on the moving process. You have lots of tasks related to your relocation to perform – to organise the cleaning, get quotes from removals and compare prices, pack up your home, etc. All this takes time and effort, too, and hiring a removal firm to assist you with the relocation can help. So, be sure to find a good removal and book their services before you throw a moving party – that way you will have your peace of mind that your move is in good hands and will be able to relax and enjoy your party.
