Going Away Card wording rarely gets more playful than this. The line “Fuck you for leaving us” is crossed out with a single black stroke, and the sincere words “We will miss you so much” sit beneath it, so the joke and the heartfelt note arrive in the same breath.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
What is printed on it
The card is cream, with black block lettering that stacks across four lines. The first two lines are struck through, which turns the opening into a joke about what the sender is not really saying. Below them the words stand clean and upright, carrying the real message. A small red heart sits centered at the bottom and is the only color on the page.
The lettering is simple and sturdy, so it reads quickly even from a distance. The strike-through does most of the work: it signals irony without any further explanation. The heart keeps the message from feeling cold, and it hints that the cheekiness is affectionate.
Made for these people
You will likely spot the right recipient quickly. This card suits a coworker who is heading to a new job, a teammate who is retiring, or a friend who has been your partner in office crime for years. People with a dry, teasing sense of humor tend to enjoy this kind of Going Away Card the most.
It works in the real moments of leaving: the signed card passed around on the last afternoon, or the note tucked into a desk drawer for the person who will soon be gone. It lets you tease a little while still saying exactly how much you will miss them.
A gift idea that fits
Pair this card with a small treat from the team, such as a coffee gift card or a favorite snack. Write a few personal lines under the printed message, mentioning one shared memory. For a farewell party, place it on the gift table so the crossed-out joke starts conversations before the speeches begin.
- What does the crossed-out wording mean?
- The struck-through opening reads as a joke, suggesting the sender is annoyed that someone is leaving. Beneath it, the uncrossed line We will miss you so much delivers the real feeling. The contrast is the point: it lets you tease a departing colleague or friend while still showing genuine affection.
- Who is this card best suited for?
- It suits people with a dry, teasing sense of humor. A coworker moving to a new job, a retiring teammate, or a friend who has been a partner in office crime for years will likely appreciate the bluntness. Anyone who prefers gentle sentiment alone may find the opening a bit too sharp.
- When is the right moment to give it?
- Give it on the last day in the office, at a farewell lunch or during a goodbye party. It also works well when a friend is moving away. Passing it around for coworkers to sign builds a group message, and the crossed-out line often gets a laugh before anyone reads the rest.
