Retirement Party Activities & Ideas!!?
Does anyone have any unique ideas I could use for my father in-law's retirement party. We've just recently celebrated his sister's so of course we want to do something a little different in regards to the activities. The sister's retirement was very nice, family & friends and each person got up and went down memory lane from all the years they have known her and embrassing stories as well. Of course this is one of the things to do for my father in laws retirement but what else can we do to switch it up a little. I was thinking of having the grandchildren get up and state a fact about each year or decade he worked. (i.e.) in the 1970's the cost of a cadillac was 10,000 - that was a long long time ago. etc. What do you think about this idea and how can I do it and make it exciting. Also, still looking for any unique fun filled ideas out there!!! Thanks

- Think about the time he started to work- late 1950s? Play music from that era and think "Grease"- yes he was that young once- wear rolled up jeans and keds and Happy Days- go to a local thrift store and buy records- hang them from the wall. Look online for advertisements from the era- like this one: http://www.348-409.com/images/1958_chevy_ad4.jpg and also focus on what he is going to do next- gardening? get him gift cards from jacksons and perkins http://www.jacksonandperkins.com/gardening/GP/page1/page1?cid=jpp000001y&OVRAW=jackson%20perkins&OVKEY=jackson%20perkins&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=10692551011&OVKWID=71285311011 or the www.sportsmansguide.com have a good time
