Two police retirement invitations with no department marks: Police Badge, a generic star badge with a service cap and a radio, worded Honoring the service of and badged 25 Years on the Force; and Off Duty for Good, an unmarked patrol car on a road under a pale sky, badged Thank You for Your Service. Police Badge opens in Silver & Navy and Off Duty for Good in Red, White & Blue.

Planning tip
Officers often want the night to be about the people they served with. The samples say Dinner and a slideshow of the early years, and Dinner, toasts and stories from the beat; ask the honoree's partners from the early years to bring photos.
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.

Frequently asked questions

Do these show a real department badge?
No. The badge is a generic star with no department name or number, so the card works for any city, county or state agency. Type the department in the details if you like.
Can I use them for a sheriff or detective?
Yes. Off Duty for Good's sample honors Detective Karen Walsh; every rank and title is live text.
What should a police retirement invitation say?
Rank and name, years on the force, the date, place and RSVP, and one line about the evening. The wording page has a first-responder group.
