Know a family member who is going on a long vacation, or for a good neighbor who is moving away?

They are going to be far from family and friends, so getting everyone together to wish them bon voyage is a fun way to say "We'll miss you."

A casual, relaxed party is always a good idea, along with a bon voyage or going away gift of travel supplies, a photo album, or memory scrapbook as a heartfelt farewell.

Plans for a bon voyage or going away party might include the destination, such as a Luau Party as the perfect send-off for friends venturing to Hawaii. Know someone who is venturing off to college? Think about decorating with school colors as your special theme.
