Psychology
Farewell parties in dreams may be the mind gently accepting an ending. Being sent off suggests readiness for change; sending someone off may be tasting their absence in advance.
Folklore and history
Japanese workplaces and schools hold farewell parties with bouquets and message cards at transfers and graduations, and drinking to a traveler's safety is an old custom. The dream heralds new relationships.

This site's view
In this site's view, note who the guest of honor was. If you, a departure has already begun inside you. If a stranger, an old habit or belief that has served its purpose may be quietly leaving.
Going deeper: our reading
What tends to stay from a farewell-party dream is the short speech you are asked to give at the end. Many people wake still feeling either how easily the words came or how their mind went blank. In this site's reading, how the speech went shows how far you have sorted your feelings about your current place. If thanks flowed naturally, you are ready to leave. If you stumbled, there may be feelings left unsaid or complaints you cannot voice. Organising the party yourself suggests you are so busy attending to others that you set your own sadness aside. Failing to reach the venue, or arriving after it ended, means part of you is avoiding the farewell. This is our speculation, but if you felt the weight of the bouquet or message card in your hands, your heart has firmly received how real the bonds you built there were.
What to do on waking
Recall someone you never properly thanked and send a short message. Partings are made beautiful by gratitude.
