Dear Classmate, As we stand on the cusp of a new chapter in your remarkable journey, it fills my heart with a mix of bittersweet emotions to bid you farewell as you embark on your overseas study adventure. To celebrate the occasion and make the memories of our shared past a little sweeter, we've organized a heartfelt farewell gathering tailored just for you. **Date & Time**: Saturday, August 20th, 2023, at 4:00 PM sharp. This time allows us to gather amidst the golden hour, creating a warm and nostalgic ambiance as we reminisce about our high school days. **Venue**: The Rooftop Terrace of Oasis Cafe, located at 123 Elm Street, Downtown. The venue boasts stunning city views and a cozy atmosphere perfect for a memorable farewell. Its open-air setting ensures we can soak in the evening breeze while cherishing each other's company. **Decorations**: - **Theme**: "Journeys of the Heart & Mind." We've chosen colors that evoke a sense of wanderlust and hope: shades of blue for the vast oceans you'll cross and green for the new growth you'll experience. - **Balloons & Banners**: A cluster of helium-filled balloons in these hues will greet you upon arrival, accompanied by banners adorned with encouraging messages like "Fly High, Dream Big!" and "Miles Apart, Hearts Together." - **Photo Wall**: A custom-designed photo wall adorned with polaroid-style prints of our class trips, sports events, and other cherished moments will be the centerpiece of the evening. Each guest is encouraged to leave their own personal note or drawing alongside their favorite photo. - **Candles & Lanterns**: Soft lighting from tea lights and paper lanterns will create a warm glow, casting a gentle shadow over our faces as we share stories and laughter. **Farewell Cards**: Each guest, including myself, has been tasked with crafting a personalized farewell card for you. These cards will serve as tangible tokens of our love, support, and best wishes for your future endeavors. Expect to find messages filled with heartfelt memories, humorous anecdotes, and inspiring quotes tailored just for you. Many will also include their contact details, ensuring that even though you're physically far away, the bond we share remains strong. On this special day, let's make sure to cherish every moment, for they will be the treasures we carry in our hearts for years to come. We're all excited for your new journey and can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll achieve. See you at the farewell, friend! Warmest regards, [Your Name]
