Questions
What do you write in a retirement card for a friend?
A friend hitting retirement is great news — celebrate it warmly and look forward to all the free time you can now spend together. 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 retirement 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.
