How to make a group retirement card online
- 1
Create the card
Choose Retirement, add your colleague's name and a title. It takes a couple of minutes.
- 2
Share one link
Send the signing link to everyone who worked with them, by email or in your team chat. Each person adds a message, photo or GIF in their own time, without creating an account.
- 3
Send it
When everyone has signed, send the card free by email. With Premium you can schedule it for their last day instead.
Why an online card suits a retirement
A retirement usually means people from many years, teams and offices want to say thank you. Some have moved departments, some work different shifts, and some are in other cities. A paper card can't reach all of them. A digital group retirement card can: everyone signs from the same link, whenever suits them.
It also leaves room for a whole career. Colleagues can add a photo from a team event years ago, a GIF that sums up an inside joke, or a few lines about what working together meant, all on one card.

This is a live sample with fictional messages, not a screenshot. Scroll through the board, open a message's menu to try editing it, or tap Share Invite Link to see how you'd invite the team. Nothing you change here is saved.
Happy Retirement!
What to ask people to write
A short prompt in your invite gets better messages than a blank card. Paste one or two of these into the message you send with the link, along with the date you'd like everyone to sign by.
- “Share one memory of working with [name].”
- “One thing you'll miss about [name].”
- “What you hope [name] enjoys most in retirement.”
- “Add a photo from a team event or project if you have one.”

Retirement card questions
- What should I write in a retirement card for a coworker?
- Thank them for something specific, share a memory from working together and wish them well for what comes next. Keep it warm and about the person rather than the job. A light line about no more alarms or Monday meetings usually goes down well, and the message ideas on this page are a good place to start.
- Can people sign without an account?
- Yes. Anyone with the signing link can add their message without creating an account. Only the organiser verifies an email to create the card.
- How do I collect signatures from remote coworkers?
- Share the same signing link by email or in your team chat. Colleagues in other offices, on other shifts or working remotely can add their message in their own time.
- Can I add photos and GIFs?
- Yes. Every signer can add a photo or a GIF with their message, so the card can include pictures from across their career.
- Can I schedule delivery for the retirement day?
- Yes, with Premium ($2.49 per card) you can pick the date and time the card is emailed. On the free plan, you send it yourself when you're ready.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Creating the card, collecting messages and sending it are free. Premium is optional at $2.49 per card and adds scheduled delivery, a high-resolution JPG download, a print-ready PDF booklet, premium covers, backgrounds and effects, and hides Signed Together branding.
- How many people can sign?
- There is no signer limit, on the free plan or Premium.
