When sending out invitations, think about who the guest of honor would want at the party. Invite people well in advance so that most people will be free to attend. You can even make toppers that have a map of the new location on one side and the place your friend is moving from on the other. For example, if your friend is moving to another state or country, you could make cupcakes with that place's colors.

Incorporate your theme into the invitations, food, decorations, etc.

You might want to throw a party that highlights all the great work this person did at your office.
