Questions

What do you write in a congratulations card for a colleague?

A congratulations card for a colleague should be warm and professional — acknowledge the achievement and the graft behind it. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.

How long should a congratulations message be?

One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
