Send a navy retirement invitation for fishermen

A heartfelt seaside gathering

For the guests, an online farewell invitation is the place where everything comes together: the story, the date, the route and the chance to reply. When they open this one, they first see the old fisherman smiling on his boat in the harbor, wide across the screen, followed by the words “After fifty years at sea” in golden letters on dark blue. For people who sailed with him, bought his fish or grew up on the same quay, it is an invitation they will want to answer.

Many of them will have a story about him: the storm he still made it home through, the catch nobody believed, the coffee in the wheelhouse. In the online guestbook they can write those memories down before or after the party, so he has them to read long after the last song at the pier hall.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can guests receive the invitation?

As soon as you have changed the name, date and venue, which usually takes a few minutes. Share the link via WhatsApp, email or text message, and guests can open it straight away.

What can guests do on the invitation page?

They let you know whether they will come, find the pier hall on the map, save the date in their calendar and write in the guestbook. Guests who cannot make it can still leave a message there.

Does the long example text suit every farewell?

It is written for someone who leaves after a long career, which makes it ideal for a retirement. For a shorter farewell, such as a move or a new job, you can cut it to two lines or use the white version of this design, which already has a shorter message.

Can I use a drawing instead of a photo?

Yes. If you have no suitable photo of your colleague, you can choose an illustration. Read how to use an illustration instead of a photo. Text and colors are fully editable too.

What does an online invitation cost?

It is usually more affordable than printed cards and postage, and you can still change details on the same link after sharing. See the pricing page for the options.
