Frequently asked questions

What should I write in a Retirement Wishes To A Colleague card?

Strike the register your workplace already uses. Warm but not familial, sincere but not effusive, brief because everyone's busy. The 32 examples above are written for that middle voice — pick one and lightly personalise with a project, a department, or a shared moment from the year.

How formal should a Retirement Wishes To A Colleague message be?

Match the formality your team uses in writing, not in conversation. If your office runs on first-name Slack messages, a warm-but-brief card matches. If it runs on 'Dear Mr.' emails, dial up the formality and shorten the personal detail. The wishes above sit in the warm-professional middle and adjust easily either way.

Can I personalise these Retirement Wishes To A Colleague with the recipient's name?

Yes — that's the recommended way to use them. Most wishes here are written generically on purpose so you can replace one phrase with a specific name, date, place, or memory. Our AI generator will also rewrite a chosen wish around personal details you provide.
