How to make a leaving card more personal
The best leaving card messages usually include something specific about the person: a shared memory, a project you worked on together, or something you appreciated about their personality.
For a close colleague, a little humour can work well too. Just make sure the tone matches your relationship.
07
Paper leaving card or online leaving card?
A paper leaving card is a familiar choice when everyone works in the same office. An online leaving card is more convenient when colleagues work remotely or across different locations: the organiser shares a link and collects messages without passing a card from desk to desk.
Some online services focus on written messages, while others let contributors share photos, videos, or voice recordings. The right choice depends on the team and the kind of farewell you want to organise.
08
An alternative to a traditional leaving card: everyone’s voices
To make a colleague’s farewell feel more personal, consider collecting messages in everyone’s voices. With Voice Bouquet, colleagues record their own messages and they come together as one group gift, so the person leaving can hear the people they worked with rather than only read their words.
For teams spread across offices or countries, voice messages can make the goodbye feel a little closer.
