Retirement Party Invitations
A retirement invitation is a career's closing credits. Name the years, name the place they gave them to, and give colleagues a way to contribute a story — the toasts are the party.

Wording & etiquette
How far in advance should I send invitations?As a rule: casual get-togethers go out 2–3 weeks ahead, dinner parties and birthdays 3–4 weeks, formal or milestone events 4–6 weeks, and weddings 6–8 weeks — with save-the-dates 6–12 months out. Add time whenever guests have to travel, book time off, or arrange childcare.What is proper RSVP etiquette?RSVP as soon as you know your answer, and always by the date on the invitation — 'RSVP' means a reply is expected either way, yes or no, not only if you're coming. Use the method the host asked for, respond only for the people actually named, and once you've accepted, treat it as a commitment.
Good to know
How do I collect stories or memories for a retirement party?
Add a custom RSVP question — 'share your favorite Marcus moment' — and every reply lands on the host dashboard, ready to be read as toasts.
Who hosts a retirement party invitation?
The team, the department, or the family — whoever hosts leads the wording ('The partners of Calloway & Finch invite you…'). The retiree is the honoree.
