Celebrate the retiree's years of hard work with fun decorations that speak to accomplishments in and out of the workplace. These tips can help guide your decor selections:

• Assign a different theme to each table or throughout the room based on the interests, hobbies and past accomplishments of the retiree. Include a "table of the future" for a fun twist.
• Insert photos of the retiree with coworkers and friends through the years into inexpensive plastic frames.
• Purchase or make your own "retirement advice cards" and set one at each table setting with a pen so guests can write memories or provide words of wisdom for the retiree to enjoy after the party.
• Place an autograph photo mat with a metallic pen in the entryway so guests can sign their names and offer best wishes. The retiree can use this to frame a favorite group photo after the party.
• Recognize the retiree's volunteer work or club memberships by making a themed collage. Embellish the collage with photos of the retiree and friends along with handwritten notes from group members and others they've helped through volunteering.
• Print business cards with the guest of honor's updated contact information to include with party favors.
