How to write new job congratulations messages

Starting a new job is exciting and a little nerve-wracking, so the perfect message mixes congratulations with encouragement. Celebrate the win, remind them they earned it, and wish them a great first week. A small joke about the new commute or the office coffee keeps it light.

If they're leaving your team, it's a chance to thank them for their work and say you'll miss them. If it's a friend or partner, offer to celebrate. A scheduled card that opens on their first morning is a lovely surprise.
