It is sad to be saying goodbye to a workmate. If they are leaving to take up another job, retire, or abroad, it is pleasant to send them off with a welcoming home card of thanks for the work and service.
If you are not sure what or how to wear your card or have ideas stuck, relax! We've some smart, thoughtful, and even humorous suggestions that will kick you off for composing a personal message.
1. Make It Personal
A handwritten message brings a personal touch that an inked-out message cannot. Personalize your goodbye cards note to reflect your unique connection with your coworker. Here are some ideas:
For a coworker: "It's been wonderful working with you! I will miss my coffee breaks and thinking breaks with you. Best of luck on your next adventure!"
To a supervisor or a mentor: "Thank you for your leadership and guidance. I would also like to thank you for everything you've done; encouragement and advice are much appreciated."
To a best friend: "The office was a more enjoyable place to be due to your enthusiasm and energy. I wish you all the best with everything.".
2. Add a Pinch of Humor
In case you both had laughs and fun times together, add a pinch of humor to lighten the mood:
"Good luck with your new job! Now who am I supposed to go have lunch with?"
"Wishing you good luck in your new adventure — but who's going to fix the office printer now?"
"Good luck on your vacation! Kidding. we're going to miss you so much."
3. Inspire with a Motivational Quote
Adding a motivational quote will provide your co-worker with a lasting injection of inspiration. Here are some words to say like:
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." – Henry David Thoreau
"Any new start is a result of some other start's end." – Seneca
"May your next chapter be as meaningful as your time here."
4. Share Special Memories
Use your goodbye message to add a personal touch by remembering the special times or fun jokes you shared:
"I'll never forget our late-night work sessions and snack breaks. Good luck, and don't forget us!"
"From day-one newbies to the dream team — I’ll always treasure those memories."
5. Get the Whole Team Involved
A group card is where everyone can add their good wishes. Some websites, such as Theecards.com, have group eCards, so remote colleagues are not left out of the sendoff celebrations. The more, the merrier. er, the more well-wishes the card will be!

End your message with a warm and friendly closing statement, such as:
Best wishes for the future
Wishing to hear all about your next adventure
Take care and stay in touch
