Set the Tone Before the Party Even Starts
Guests hold the invitation before they see the venue, so the stock and the wording tell everyone whether to expect a backyard barbecue or a dinner with speeches. Keep the guest of honor's name the biggest line, and put the RSVP name and number at the bottom. Folded and save-the-date cards are on invitation printing.
Fifty cards cost $25.27, so doubling a list of 25 for family and coworkers adds about five and a half dollars. The tiers below show each set total.
Retirement Party Invitation Wording Examples
- A formal office send off: "After 32 years of service, please join us in honoring James R. Carter on the occasion of his retirement. Friday, the fourteenth of March, six o'clock in the evening. Dinner and remarks to follow."
- A casual backyard party: "He is finally off the clock. Come celebrate Dave's retirement, Saturday, June 8, from 3pm. Burgers, cold drinks and no alarm clocks."
- A surprise party: "Shhh, it is a surprise! Help us send Maria into retirement in style. Please arrive by 6:30pm; Maria arrives at 7:00pm."
- An open house: "Open house for Linda's retirement, Sunday, April 20, drop in any time between 1pm and 5pm. Coffee and cake provided. No gifts please, cards welcome."
Which Size and Which Envelope
The 4.25" x 5.5" is the compact A2 card, enough for name, date, time, place and RSVP, and the cheapest per piece on a long staff list. The 5" x 7" is the A7 card, the one for a formal evening or a photo of the honoree. The 6" x 6" square stands out in a stack of rectangles but needs a square envelope, so add the matching white wove envelopes rather than assuming a stationer's stock will fit. The panel below lists the stock, ink, finish, corner, envelope and bundling choices.
Four Stocks That Set the Tone
14pt Gloss Cover keeps a photo card bright. 16pt Uncoated with Soft Touch has an almost suede surface for a formal send off. 18pt Kraft Uncoated Cover, made from 100% post-consumer waste, suits a backyard or workshop party, and 14pt White Linen pairs with formal wording in a serif face. A High Gloss UV coat deepens dark colors but will not take pen ink, so skip it if guests write on the card. Rounded corners at 1/8" or 3/8" keep the corners from bending in the mail.
Design it without a designer
Start from a layout in our free design templates, type in the retiree's name and the party details, and change the colors in the online editor. For your own file, grab a blank invitation template with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin drawn in.

Retirement Party Invitations: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a catchy invitation phrase?
The line that works is about the retiree, not the party. Set it as the second biggest line after the guest of honor's name, and let the date, the venue and the RSVP sit in plain type underneath.
