Frequently asked questions
What should I write in a Funny Retirement Wishes For Coworker card?
Funny cards work because they break the expected register. Lead with one specific, slightly unflattering observation about the person or the occasion — the kind only someone close enough would dare say — then land on something warm so it doesn't tip into mean. The 96 examples above keep that ratio; copy a line and swap in a detail only you and the recipient know.
Is humor always appropriate for Funny Retirement Wishes For Coworker?
It depends on how well you know the recipient and how the relationship usually sounds. Inside jokes between close friends or siblings can carry a card; corporate-distant or recently-grieving recipients almost never can. If you're unsure whether a line will land, it probably won't — switch to a sincere wish from another page in the Retirement category instead.
