Choosing a Theme

Consider choosing the theme for the going away party to be in line with where they are going. If the person is moving away because of their job, try planning the theme around their new home etc. Incorporate food of that region into the menu and decorate accordingly. Another fun idea is to use a play one words like calling it a “Desserting Us” party and hosting a dessert buffet. You can also consider planning the decorations and food around all their favorites from their current home; one final feast of all their hometown favorites.
Gift Ideas

The best gift you can give someone who is leaving is the knowledge that they will be missed and a way to take some great memories with them. When sending out the invitations, ask people to write a short note about how they will miss the person and other well wishes. Or, you can ask them to write about their favorite memory with this person. Ask guests to submit the note to you along with a picture of them with the guest of honor. Assemble a scrapbook or photo album page for each person and present this book to the honoree at the party. Another spin on this is to video record messages from each guest at the party and give it to the honored guest after the party.
Decorations

If you have selected a theme, then the decorations will be in line with what you have chosen. General decoration ideas include; photo collages, party banners wishing the honored guest bon voyage, balloons and flowers. Check out these great centerpiece ideas. Remember you don’t have to go overboard. A few thoughtful things will say more than a whole bunch of filler.
Party Favors

Pictures are always great party favors for a farewell party. If your budget allows, consider renting a photo booth for the evening so that the guests can take pictures with the honoree. Another great idea for party favors is to create little letter packets. Although email is generally the easiest way to communicate, a handwritten letter often feels more heartfelt. Give guests a few stylish note cards and pre stamped envelopes. Include a nice pen and the new address of the guest of honor.

When planning a farewell or going away party, keeping it simple is always better. Keep the focus on gathering up the friends and family of the person leaving. The food and decorations do not have to be extravagant, just something that the honoree will enjoy!

Think "goodbye" in different languages. For example, Adios Amigo! and have a mexican menu. Simple and most everyone likes. Great decoration/game/activity possibilities with this one. Keeps it festive rather than a sad vibe.

food is everything in the party
