About retirement invitations
A retirement invitation is usually sent by colleagues or by children, and it carries something a party invitation does not: a career. The designs here are built around a photographic journey — early years, the middle, now — because that is the material families and offices actually have and want to show.
Two things belong on the card that people routinely leave off. The first is the span: the years of service, or the organisation and the role, stated plainly. The second is the tone of the evening — whether there will be speeches, and therefore whether guests should be prepared to say something.
Where the evening is a surprise, the invitation needs to say so unmistakably, and it is worth sending it only to the list that can keep it.
What to put on the invitation
- The years
- "35 years of service" or the dates themselves — the headline.
- Organisation and role
- Colleagues reading the card want to place the person.
- Photographs
- A journey across the years works better than one recent portrait.
- Speeches
- Say whether there will be any, so people can prepare.
In your language
The headings are set in the language, not transliterated — so the film reads as a card rather than as an English layout with translated text dropped in.
Retirement invitation questions
- Who usually sends a retirement invitation?
- Either the colleagues organising the farewell or the family hosting a dinner at home. Both are common, and the host line on the card should make clear which it is.
- Can I include photographs from across their career?
- Yes — several retirement designs are built as a photographic journey with three or four framed photographs, which suits a long career better than a single portrait.
- Is there a design for a surprise party?
- Any of the designs can carry the wording. The important thing is a clear line — "this is a surprise, please do not mention it" — near the top, where it will be read before the date.
