Retirement is something that should be celebrated, especially when it comes to family. It should come as no surprise that it is actually pretty common to throw retirement parties on behalf of those who are retiring, kicking off the fresh new start to the rest of their lives.
Give a Retirement Card
Receiving a card from someone always makes us feel special. When it comes in the mail, it’s a nice change from those pesky bills and junk mail that usually clutter the mailbox. Card-giving seems to becoming less and less common amongst the younger generations due to the presence of the new digital age. Nevertheless, cards continue to make people feel good and should still be given on special occasions!
Retirement is one of the biggest milestones that anyone can accomplish in their life. It’s the beginning of a life of peace and enjoyment after so many years of hard work! Not everyone has the ability to retire, so when it happens to a family member, you’d better be there cheering them on!
Retirement Card Messages
Retirement card messages can be nice sentiments to your family or all-out humorous messages, depending on the tastes and personality of the retiree. Since the card is for a family member, it’s likely that you are pretty familiar with their personality and personal boundaries, which is so very important when writing retirement card messages! It can be a very touchy time in a person’s life, so make it a happy one!
Whether you plan on making your own card by hand or buying a blank to write a personal message in, here’s a few examples of what you might want to write!
