I had never seen the kanji for Wagamama before! Cool!

Along the same lines as 歓送会、you hve 歓迎会 kangeikai, for welcome party, and 送別会 for farewell party.

I have actually never heard people use 歓送会 before, I think that 送別会 or 別れ会 wakarekai for farewell party is more common.

Maybe the nuiance is different some how?

I think 歓送会 might means farewell party with encouragement.

「君と別れるのはとてもつらい。しかし君の将来の為に、私たちは喜んで君を送り出します」
To say good-bye to you is very tough. However,we'll send you off with pleasure for your future.

Toshiharu-san, sorry for the delayed reply. I'm very grateful for your input. It's often hard to understand the different nuances of words from dictionaries alone.
