FAQ

Common Questions

How do I send a retirement eCard from the whole team?

Create a branded retirement eCard in eCardWidget, upload your team directory as a CSV, and send the same card to every teammate so they each get it in their inbox. For a shared send-off, leaders can collect written tributes ahead of time and compile them into the card's message field, or attach a team-filmed video message.

Can I include photos in the retirement card?

Yes. Upload photos from their career, team gatherings, or memorable moments to make the card more personal.

When should I send the retirement eCard?

Schedule it for their last day at work, during their retirement party, or a few days before so they have time to read and save the message.

Can the retiree save the card?

Absolutely. Recipients can view their card online anytime, and you can download a printable version for them to keep.

What do you write in a retirement eCard?

A meaningful retirement eCard message names a specific contribution or legacy, shares a short personal memory or inside reference, and wishes them well on what's next. Example: "After 27 years and the launch of three platforms that still run this place, thank you for teaching every one of us how patience and rigor add up. Enjoy the garden, the grandkids, and the silence you earned." Short and specific lands harder than effusive and generic.

What is the difference between a retirement eCard and a paper retirement card?

A retirement eCard arrives instantly on the exact day, can include photo slideshows, video tributes, and audio messages from distant colleagues, and lives permanently in the retiree's inbox for re-watching. Paper retirement cards offer a physical keepsake but cost 10-20x more, don't scale to remote or distributed teams, and can only carry a short handwritten line. Many teams send both — the eCard for the tribute and a printed card for the desk.
