Farewell party invitations
Somebody is leaving, the date is usually not negotiable, and the invitation almost always needs to move quickly.
$65
Your details set by hand, usually back the same day. $145 to rebuild it in your own colours.
Farewell parties get organised in a hurry. A job starts on a date, a lease ends, a move is booked, and suddenly there are ten days to gather everyone who matters. That compressed timeline is the defining feature of this occasion and the reason same-day collection designs exist.
Tone is the thing to get right. These are genuinely bittersweet, and an invitation that leans too hard into sadness makes the party feel like a wake. Warm, celebratory, forward-looking works far better. It is a send-off, not a mourning.
A lot of these carry a collection: a card everyone signs, a group gift, a book of messages. If so, that needs a name, a deadline and one point of contact on the invitation, or it will not happen.
What changes for this one
Warm and forward-looking rather than melancholy. If there is a collection or a group gift, it needs its own line with a deadline and one named contact.
When to send
One to three weeks, and short notice is the norm. This is a same-day collection design more often than any other occasion.
Colours that work
Warm and optimistic. Ochre, terracotta, deep blue. Nothing grey.
Questions people ask about farewell invitations
How fast can you turn one around?
A collection design personalised with your details is usually same day. Farewell parties are almost always short notice and I have built for it.
We are collecting for a group gift. How do we mention it?
Its own line, with a deadline and one named person to send to. Group gifts collapse when there are three ways to contribute and no cut-off date.
Should it be sad?
No. Warm and celebratory works much better, and it is what the person leaving actually wants. A send-off, not a wake.
