Group farewell cards for a coworker leaving
In an office a leaving card half-organizes itself — it sits on a desk and circulates. Remote teams do not get that, so someone has to start it deliberately, usually whoever reads the announcement first. Set the delivery for their last day and let people write across the week.

How it works
- 1
Pick a design and write the first message
No account needed to start — you compose first and only give an email when you save the card.
- 2
Invite the team by email
Everyone gets their own private invite link. Nothing to forward around Slack, and you can see who has signed.
- 3
It delivers itself on the day
Sealed until the delivery date, then it opens in the timezone you set for them — not yours.
What to write
- Good luck with what's next. Do stay in touch — I mean it.
- It won't be the same without you. Go and be brilliant somewhere else.
- Thanks for everything you taught me, most of it without meaning to.
- Sad to see you go, glad for what comes next. Keep me posted.
- Good luck! Whoever gets you next has no idea how lucky they are.
Set the delivery for their last day
Not the day after, when the accounts are already closed — send it to a personal address if you are cutting it close.
Read the exit before you pick a tone
A promotion elsewhere and a layoff need different cards. Jokes land badly on a departure that was not the person’s choice; sincerity always works.
Cast the net wider than the immediate team
Departures are the one occasion where a message from someone two teams over genuinely lands — they were part of the person’s working life too.

Why teams use TeamRally Cards
- Free to make, sign and send. Invite up to 100 people, with no per-signer fee, premium designs or charge to deliver. A copy to keep — a PDF to print, a vertical video to post — is an optional $12 extra afterwards.
- Personal email invites. Every signer gets their own link, so there is no shared URL for the recipient to stumble across.
- Sealed until the day. The recipient's link refuses to open before delivery, so a leaked link doesn't spoil the surprise.
- No accounts for signers. They click their invite and write. No sign-up, no password, no app.

Questions
- How do you organize a farewell card for a remote coworker?
- Start it as soon as the departure is announced, invite the team by email so nobody has to babysit a shared link, and schedule delivery for their last working day. The card stays sealed until then, so it can circulate for a week without spoiling.
- What do you write in a leaving card for a colleague?
- One specific memory or thank-you, then a genuine good wish. Avoid inside jokes that exclude most readers, and avoid anything that reads as relief that they are going.
- What if the person was laid off rather than leaving by choice?
- Keep it to appreciation and concrete offers of help — a referral, an introduction, a reference. Celebration framing lands badly on a day that was not their choice.
