goodbye party
Sendoff for someone
A goodbye party is a social gathering held to honor someone who is leaving—moving away, changing jobs, retiring, or otherwise departing from a group.
The event gives friends or colleagues a chance to celebrate the person and wish them well: We're throwing a goodbye party for Sarah on her last day.
Also called a farewell party or going-away party.
