A retirement party is great gift to a friend, colleague, or loved one crossing the important milestone. And there’s no party without a cake, which is where retirement cake sayings come in. A lovely saying adds a personal touch and lets the retiree know you cherish them.
We’re all about making your life easier, which is why we have organized the most popular retirement cake sayings into different categories.
To personalize your retirement cake saying, consider the person’s career, passions, dreams, or hobbies. Pick something that works for their personality and you’ll be sure to create a memorable and emotional moment. For example, if the retiree is a nurse, you can have a cake decorated with a nurse’s cape, medicine, and injections and add the saying, “you saved many loves.” This will add a unique touch to the celebration.
It’s also important to consider the size of the cake when choosing a retirement saying. For example, a big, rectangular cake needs a retirement saying with more words. And don’t pick a lengthy retirement cake saying if you have a small cake. The words should be visible from a small distance.
