Intent: thank without clichés, include everyone

Messages for a colleague farewell party

What people actually want

Beyond “good luck”, teammates want to show concrete impact, build a shared keepsake, and avoid generic lines that feel hollow.

Checklist before you write

  1. Mention a specific project or human trait (not only “nice”).
  2. Match tone (formal/casual) to your team culture.
  3. If hybrid, avoid references that only make sense in the office kitchen.
  4. Offer a starter line for shy contributors (“one word about…”).
  5. Plan a shared guestbook for text, photos, and GIFs.

Common pitfalls

Very short Slack chains, risky jokes, or forgetting remote teammates. One guestbook link reduces those biases.
