bon voyage party

Traveler's sendoff gathering

A bon voyage party is a gathering to celebrate and send off someone about to depart on a journey, typically a long trip or significant move.

The French phrase means "good journey," and the party serves as a farewell: We threw her a bon voyage party before she left for her year abroad.
