Retirement party invitations
Retirement party invitations
that get a real headcount.
A retirement party brings together people who rarely share a guest list - coworkers from three decades, old friends and family. Send your retirement party invitations straight to each guest's phone with Yes, No and Not sure yet buttons. No account to create, no app to download: one tap and the reply lands in your list, so you can book the room and the catering with confidence.
Free to start - no credit card required.
This is how the invitation arrives on the phone.
Your invitation goes out as a real WhatsApp message with your design and reply buttons. Every guest gets their own copy with their name, and each answer goes straight into your list.
Linda's Retirement Party
via Eventi
Cheers to Linda!
Friday, May 15 - 6 PM
Hi Mark! After 32 years at Riverside Elementary, Linda is retiring and we're throwing her a send-off at The Oak Room. Can you make it?
From invitation to send-off in four steps.
A few minutes, even for a guest list spanning a whole career.
1. Add your invitation
Upload a design from Canva or anywhere else, link to an external page, or start from a free template.
2. Add your guests
Type names in or import an Excel or CSV list of coworkers, friends and family, with a preview first.
3. Send it
Each guest gets the invitation with buttons to reply Yes, No or Not sure yet in one tap.
4. Track the replies
Answers appear on your live dashboard, guest by guest, so you always know the count.
Made for
a well-earned send-off.
Former colleagues change numbers, busy coworkers forget to reply and the venue wants a final count. Eventi handles the follow-up.
Reminders only to those who haven't answered
Up to three automatic reminder rounds, only to guests without a final answer, and never at night.
Plus-ones counted properly
When an invite includes a spouse or family, Eventi asks how many are coming. You can also ask about meal choices.
Gifts and thank-yous
Keep track of gifts in one place, then send a thank-you message to every guest after the party.
Tips for retirement party invitations.
Small details that make a big send-off run smoothly.
- 1
Send invitations three to four weeks ahead
Retirement parties often include former colleagues and out-of-town friends. Three to four weeks gives them time to plan; six if travel is involved.
- 2
Check whether it's a surprise
If the party is a surprise, say so clearly in the message and double-check the retiree is not on the guest list.
- 3
Say who is hosting
Make it clear whether the company, the team or the family is hosting. It helps guests know whether the event is formal and whether spouses are invited.
- 4
Mention the format
Speeches, a dinner, an open house or drinks after work? A line about the format helps guests decide what to wear and how long to stay.
- 5
Organize the group gift up front
If you are collecting for a gift, mention it in the invitation so guests know before the day.
- 6
Give the venue a confirmed number
Wait for the last reminder round, check the total including plus-ones, then confirm with the restaurant or caterer.
