A surprise video for our cohort — looking back on memories from the induction ceremony onward
A surprise movie made by combining lots of memorable photos and videos you’ve taken so far, along with warm messages from peers and colleagues.
It’s guaranteed to move them to tears—send them off warmly with a film they won’t be able to watch without crying! You can make it in any style you like.
Including the person’s profile, their achievements at the company, and even a few funny mishaps could add some humor.
Messages from others can be video clips or handwritten notes captured as still images in the video.
Above all, think about the person who’s leaving and create a lovely, love-filled movie just for them!
Private hire of a London bus
How about chartering a party-ready double-decker London bus for a farewell party? Hosting a party while cruising elegantly on a stylish bus will undoubtedly make unforgettable memories! Even if it’s a bit cold, the beautiful scenery and the rare experience will stay in your heart for a long time.
And don’t forget to take photos at the end!
Mosaic art
A mosaic art piece created using photos you actually took.
It can be a very painstaking process, but it becomes a heartfelt, moving gift.
You can enjoy it as a single image, and since each individual photo is filled with memories, it’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
cruising
Because it’s a special farewell party, it might be nice to hold it somewhere a little different than usual! Many people have probably never experienced a farewell party on a boat, and it’s sure to be unforgettable.
Keep the venue a secret and guide everyone from the nearest station to the boat!
victory toss
How about the ultimate farewell-party classic: a do-age toss? You don’t get many chances to do it, but this season it’s guaranteed to get everyone excited.
It’s a rare experience in life and will surely make for a memorable performance! Send them off by tossing them high into the air with a shout of “Wasshoi!” Just be careful to avoid injuries.
