A co-worker’s farewell is not the time to be sappy. But whatever the reason—new job, retirement, looking for greener pastures—a genuine farewell card will not be forgotten by them. But for goodness’ sake—no saccharine sweeties. You have to be truthful but not sappy, humorous but not ridiculous and remembered but not embarrassing.

Don’t worry! Side-splitting goodbye messages that call a spade a spade are at your fingertips. And, thanks to Sendwishonline.com, make Farewell cards a little more special by signing a group card for co-workers to sign off on.
