Frequently asked questions
What should you write in a retirement card?
Strike a warm, celebratory tone — retirement is an achievement and the start of an exciting new chapter, not an ending. Thank the person for their work, contribution or the way they helped you, share a fond memory if you have one, and wish them well for what's ahead (more time for family, hobbies, travel, rest). Lighthearted lines about lie-ins and no more Monday mornings go down well alongside something sincere. If you didn't know them closely, a simple, genuine 'congratulations and best wishes for a wonderful retirement' is perfect. Collecting everyone's messages on wishes cards into a keepsake gives the retiree a lovely bundle to look back on — far more personal than a single group card squeezed with signatures.
