When writing a retirement card, its important to emphasize the positives and make the recipient feel good about both their past and future. Here are some ideas for what to write in a retirement card:
-
Congratulations: A simple "Congratulations on your retirement!" is always a good place to start.
-
Thank You: Thank the retiree for their contributions and hard work. For example, "Thank you for your years of service and dedication to the company".
-
Best Wishes: Wish the retiree well in their future endeavors. For example, "Wishing you a happy and fulfilling retirement".
-
Career Retrospective: If the retiree has been with the company for a significant amount of time, it's appropriate to honor their career and contributions. For example, "Honoring your many years of service and the impact you've had on our company".
-
Humor: If you and the retiree are close and you know they'd appreciate a touch of humor, feel free to share a laugh along with your warm wishes. For example, "Are you sure you're old enough to retire? I'm not quite buying it".
Remember to keep your message personal and heartfelt, and to tailor it to your relationship with the retiree.
