Send a white fisherman’s harbor farewell

A plain, coastal retirement party

With an online farewell invitation, guests get everything about the party on their phone: when it starts, where to go and how to reply. Here the first thing they see is a smiling fisherman in yellow overalls, standing on his boat among nets and ropes, beside a short white card with an ochre heading. It is a design for the people who shared the harbor with him and want to say goodbye in person.

Farewells like this are full of stories. Guests can leave them in the online guestbook, so the man of the day keeps a collection of memories from fellow fishermen, family and familiar faces at the auction. On the day itself, they open the route to the pier hall straight from the invitation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make it at the last minute?

Yes. Because the layout and example text are ready, it takes little time to make the invitation your own. Even a week before the party you can still send it and collect replies.

What can guests do besides replying?

They add the date to their calendar, look up the harbor on the map and write in the guestbook. Many guests use it to share a memory or to thank him for all those years of fresh catches.

How is this version different from the dark one?

This is the white, calm version with the portrait photo on the left of the text and a short message. The sea-blue version has light text on a dark card, a wide harbor photo at the top and a longer story about fifty years at sea.

Can I write my own text?

Of course. Replace Joe’s lines with your own words, a nickname or a line only the crew will understand. Our guide to replacing the example text explains how.

Can I remind people who haven’t replied?

Yes. Your dashboard shows who hasn’t answered yet, and you can send those guests a friendly reminder so the list is complete well before the reply date.
