Thinking About Working Together in Retirement? Here’s Some Fun Stuff You Can Do!

3. Planning Parties and Events

If you’re a couple who loves celebrations, why not make it a job? Party planning can be a fun and flexible business for retired couples, especially if you’ve got the organizational skills and creativity to match. You could specialize in anything from birthday parties to corporate events, or even weddings.

You don’t need to jump straight into a huge event; start small by offering to plan parties for family and friends. You’ll quickly learn what works and what doesn’t. As you gain experience, you can build relationships with local vendors for catering, decorations, and entertainment to make your events shine.

Be prepared for long hours, especially on weekends, and the occasional stressful moment when things don’t go as planned. But if you both enjoy bringing people together and have strong communication skills, this could be a blast.
