You can even coordinate with the magician and cherish some of your memorable days or events spent together.

Or plan out a special magical task that will be performed with your guest of honor to make them feel more special.

5. Plan out a script depicting all the significant events of their life. Another great way to celebrate the farewell party is to enact all the important events of their life, all the sweet moments you spent together, those hectic situations, or anything else that you remember.

Reliving all the past experiences will surely bring a smile to their face. Remember, this idea will require more work on your part. You need to prepare a script, practice the scenes and make all the arrangements.

However, all your hard work is worth it until you can bring a smile to their face.

6. Prepare a heart-touching speech for your guest of honor. If you do not have time to enact all those beautiful moments, then you can just prepare a beautiful speech remembering those lovely moments.

You can even ask your other coworkers and seniors to say a line or two for the guest of honor.

Cherishing those good times spent together will definitely leave everyone in tears. An amazing way to make the day memorable.
