Certificate is the one most work anniversary envelopes go in: engraved border, an embossed crest, ribbon tails. Pick the one that’s them. Their name goes on the front, they tap the seal, and the flap lifts.

What to write in a work anniversary or promotion card

For ten years, twenty-five, a promotion, and the boss who finally got the title.

  • Ten years. You were here before the coffee machine, and you are still the only one it likes.
  • Nobody deserved the promotion more, and nobody will say so less. So we are saying it for you.
  • Thank you for every new starter you showed the ropes. Most of us were one of them.
  • Congratulations on the new title. We expect the same biscuits, a bigger office and no change in you.
  • Twenty-five years. Half the team learned the job from you, and the other half from them.
  • You made the hard days easier and the good days better. Here’s to the next ten.
  • It’s about time someone noticed what the rest of us have known for ages.
  • The new job comes with more meetings. We are sorry. We are also very proud.

Dear Sam,

Ten years. You were here before the coffee machine, and you are still the only one it likes.

Thank you for every new starter you showed the ropes, most of us included, and for every time you sorted something quietly and let someone else take the credit.

The place is better for you being in it, and we don’t say that often enough. So we are saying it now, all of us at once.

Here’s to the next ten.

With thanks,
Your name

When to send it

Set it to open at nine on the anniversary, or on the first morning in the new role, so it is the first thing they read with the coffee. Or put it on the screen at the team lunch; everyone with the link sees the same countdown.

Start a week before, so there is time to collect a line from everyone, the ones who moved teams included. The people who trained them are the ones they most want to hear from.

Opens on their morning · their time zone
Seal it. Set the day.

Their name goes on the front. The day goes on the seal.

Send it tonight, or keep it sealed until their morning, in their time zone, with a countdown until then.

Work anniversary and promotion questions

Can it open on the anniversary?

Yes. Set it to open at nine on the day, or on the first morning in the new role, with a countdown until then.

What should I write in a work anniversary card?

One thing they did that the place would be lost without, a thank you for something specific, and a toast to the next few years. The lines above cover ten years, twenty-five, promotions and bosses.

Does it work for a promotion?

Yes. It is the same envelope from the other side: what they did to get there, and what the team expects of them now. Keep the jokes about the bigger office.

Will they keep it if they change jobs?

Yes. It is a link of their own, not something in the work inbox, so it stays wherever the career goes next.

What does it cost?

$3.99 for the letter and photos; $6.49 with the video from the team. Paid once.

What is a work anniversary envelope?

A work anniversary gets an email from HR and a cake in the kitchen. A promotion gets a reply-all. This is a letter from the team about what they have built and who they have helped, the first-day photo next to this year’s, and a video of the people they work with, saying it properly. Set it to open on the morning of the anniversary, or the first day in the new role, and it is theirs to keep, whatever the job title says next. From $3.99, paid once.

It’s one link that opens like an envelope on their phone, with a letter of any length, your photos as postcards, a video straight off your phone, and the gift card you bought them, wrapped. No app and no account, for you or for them.
