When to start
Open the card about a week before the anniversary
A week gives close teammates time to write something considered without letting the milestone drift too far away. Start earlier when several offices or former teammates should be included.
- Confirm the anniversary date and how many years the person is marking.
- Choose one prompt that invites examples rather than generic praise.
- Set a clear contribution deadline in the note that carries the signing link.
Common questions
Who should sign a work anniversary card?
Include current teammates, close cross-functional partners, managers, direct reports, and former coworkers when they still know the person well.

No. Anyone with the private signing link can add a message or photo without creating an account.
What should a work anniversary message say?
Name a contribution, shared moment, or quality you have seen in action. Add what changed because of it, then end with a sincere wish for the year ahead.

Yes. One private link can travel across offices and time zones, and each person can contribute when it suits them.
