How to invite people for Retirement
A great way to invite people to a retirement is a note that says whose work you are honoring and what time to arrive. A company hall, a family lunch, and drinks with speeches set different expectations.
Send it three to four weeks ahead, longer if colleagues are traveling. Say whether a gift is welcome.
What should the invite include?
The person's name, the date, the time, the place, and whether it is a meal or a toast.
