Question
What is the proper protocol for a retirement party?  Who gives it, the family, co-workers or friends?

Answer
Dear Melinda:

Actually, anyone can give that party...and often there are two parties--one by the co-workers and one for friends and family.  There is no right or wrong, there.

I am certain of this since having been invited to and planning both types of party.

I hope this helps in your decisions for a great celebration.

Best to you,

Anything about planning parties for weddings, showers, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations,retirements, bar/bat mitzvahs, business promotions, fund raisers, and civic events. If I cannot answer I will direct you to the answer. I am not an expert in children or teen parties. There are hundreds of sites that specialize in that information if you google "kids parties" you will find an amazing amount of bright ideas. We do have a page on our site that leads to al the different kid's party themes, however. http://www.partyplansplus.com/themes.htm Not for those seeking information about party/event planning as a career. That information is found on the internet under "event planning careers" or at our site www.partyplansplus.com/started.htm
