A leaving card the whole team signs.
The office card that goes round in a drawer reaches half the team and comes back full of "Good luck!". One link instead: everyone writes properly, remote colleagues included, and it's ready on their last day.
The quick answer
Start a group card, share one invite link in the team chat, and let everyone add their own message before the last day. Nobody needs an account, it's free, and you can attach a gift the team chips in on.
Start it the week before, set a deadline the day before their last day, and send it on the morning of their leaving do.
How to run a group leaving card
- 1
Start it a week out
Create the card, pick a design and write the first message yourself — it sets the tone for everyone after you.
- 2
Share one link
Post the invite link in Slack, Teams, email or WhatsApp. Include the deadline and what the card is for — "sign for Sam's last day" gets better messages than "please sign".
- 3
Let everyone write their line
Each person adds their name and a message in a minute — no app, no login. Remote colleagues and people who left the team last year can sign too.
- 4
Send it on the day
When the day comes, send the finished card — by email, or share the link at the leaving do. Every message appears as they open it.
What to write when the whole team signs
After ten "Good luck!"s, a specific line stands out. A few that work in a group card:
The Monday stand-ups won't be the same without your weekend reviews. Good luck, Sam!
Thank you for answering every "quick question" that was never quick. They're lucky to have you.
Six years of you making the hard bits look easy. We'll miss you more than we'll admit in writing.
Whoever takes your desk has a lot to live up to — and the good mug is staying with me.
You taught me half of what I know about this job. Go and teach the next lot.
Congratulations on the new role. Keep in touch — and keep sending the terrible memes.
We're sad to lose you and so happy for you. Both at once. Good luck!
Thanks for being the calm one on the worst days. Wherever you go next, they'll notice.
One true, specific thing beats a longer general wish — and stops the card reading like twelve versions of the same sentence.
Leaving-card tips from organisers
- Invite everyone who worked with them, not only the current team — ex-colleagues often write the best lines.
- Set the deadline a day before the last day, so you're not chasing signatures at the leaving do.
- Write the first message yourself; people copy the length and tone of what's already there.
- Keep it one card: a single link beats a card going round the office plus a separate collection.
