Retirement party invitations should convey the significance of retirement.
Retirement marks the end of a person's working life and it's a good occasion to celebrate because he'll be free to enjoy life and do the things he previously couldn't due to work schedules. Besides the party date, time and venue, include details on the invitation to communicate the significance of the occasion.
Length of Employment
Mention the number of years that the guest of honor has worked to show how big a part her career plays in her life. For example, you can say, "Let's gather to celebrate Jane's retirement after 40 years of service." Or you can also say, "After 40 years of hard work, Jane announces her retirement and would like to invite dear friends to join the celebration."
Achievements
The guest of honor has worked hard and there is nothing wrong with letting people know what he has achieved during his career, as long as you don't turn the invitation into a long list of awards. Mentioning his proudest achievement in the invitation lets people know that he takes his job seriously and that retirement is a big step in his life. For example, you can say, "During his long career as a journalist, John has interviewed the President, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. He now says goodbye to that glamorous life as he enters retirement." You can also write something fun, for example: "As a postman, John knows all there is to know about appeasing aggressive guard dogs, an important skill he now passes on to postmen of younger generations as he retires."
Future Plans
Friends and family might be interested in how the retiree will fill her time now that she doesn't have to work. In the invitations, you can mention the retiree's plans in passing. For example, you can say, "Jane says goodbye to the office and says hello to her garden." If she plans to travel, you can say, "Join us for a retirement party before Jane leaves for a long holiday to sunny Bali."
