Movie Buff and Oscars Retirement Party Planning

Tip! This is usually appropriate to those who start their retirement planning early, generally those who are 20 years old at the least.

The retirement party is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the graduation party. One celebrates the beginning of one’s working life while the retirement party symbolizes the end of the working life and hopefully more time to spend on ones hobbies.

The person of honor at the retirement party may enjoy movies. I once heard about a retired man who made it his hobby to see every single movie that came out in the theaters. This equaled a lot of time and money spent at the box office each week. The retiree may not be as dedicated to the movie industry but if they are still big movie fans you can throw them an Oscar themed retirement party.

Have a plastic version of the Academy Award made up with the retirees name on it and give it to them at the party. You can call it the lifetime achievement award. Other gifts can be autographed pictures of movie stars or everyone can chip in to get the retiree a gift card to the local movie theater so they can start seeing lots of movies.

You could even have the retirement party at the movies. There are plenty of movie theaters around you may be able to negotiate a private screening of a favorite movie and a little party at one.
