We'll miss you at the office, but great things are ahead. Go make it count.

An example board, yours fills up with real messages.

When someone leaves a job, a team, or a city, there's usually a flurry of goodbyes packed into one final day, which means most of what people actually want to say gets rushed or forgotten. A farewell board removes the time pressure: people can add their message whenever it comes to them, over days rather than one afternoon.

Set it up as soon as you know someone's leaving, share the link with the team or friend group, and let it fill up before their last day. It becomes something they can actually sit down and read properly, rather than a stack of hastily signed cards.

What to write

Name something specific you'll miss, a habit, a joke, a way they worked.
It's fine to be a little sentimental here; farewells are one of the places it's earned.
If you have a photo together, add it, these boards become keepsakes.
Wish them well specifically for what's next, if you know what that is.
