How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the honoree's name with their title (Mrs., Pastor, Captain, Dr.) and the years in the badge; the back has room for the place, the time and a line for the people they worked with, such as former students welcome or stop by between shifts.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the retirement invitation wording ideas and the retirement party etiquette guide.
