Keep it celebratory not bitter. Retirement humor should feel joyful and liberating not cynical about work. The goal is to make them feel lucky, not jaded.
End with a genuine warm note. Even the funniest card benefits from a sincere line of love or congratulations at the end.
Tailor to the person. The funniest retirement messages are specific to the retiree. Reference their quirks, habits, or the things they complained about most for maximum laughs.
