How to write it
A new job congratulations message is short and upbeat, and these examples help you cheer them on. People rarely get a card when they start a job, which is why one stands out. It tells them someone noticed the leap they took, not just the paycheck. Even a short note can calm first-week nerves, and it is one they can pin up at a new desk.
Say what you believe about them and why. If they worked hard to get the offer, mention that. If they are leaving your team, you can be both sad and glad. Keep the tone upbeat and personal, and skip jokes about the boss or the old company. We print it in a handwriting-style font and mail it to their home.
- Mention something that made them right for the role, like how they handle pressure or how quickly they learn.
- If they are leaving your workplace, say you will miss them in one sentence, then turn to the good news.
- Include a small wish for the first week, such as finding the good coffee or knowing where the bathrooms are.
- Keep humor light and about the strange first-day feeling, never about the old job or the new one.
- Offer a real next step, like lunch after their first month, only if you intend to follow up.

Questions people ask
Is a card too much for a new job?
Not at all. A short card feels thoughtful, especially because most people expect nothing. A 4x6 postcard is from $2 a card with postage included, and your message prints on the back.
Can I send it to their home?
Yes, and that is often the right call, since it arrives when they can enjoy it. We print the address and postage for you. A card usually arrives within 8 business days of mailing, and you preview the front and back before you pay.
