Maternity Leave Cards from the Team

Congratulate them on the new arrival, let them know they will be missed at work, and wish them a restful leave. Keep it warm and genuine. Acknowledging both the professional goodbye and the personal excitement shows you care about the whole person, not just the colleague.

A maternity leave card specifically acknowledges a coworker's departure from the workplace and wishes them well on their leave. It combines congratulations on the baby with a workplace farewell. With GreetPool, the whole team can sign one card and include personal messages, making the send-off feel truly collective. Baby shower cards focus purely on celebrating the upcoming arrival.

Give it on the coworker's last day before leave or at a small farewell gathering. With GreetPool, create the group card a week or two in advance and share the signing link so the entire team has time to contribute their messages before the send-off day.

Yes, that is exactly what GreetPool group cards are built for. One person creates the card, shares the link, and every team member signs from their own device. No chasing people down the hallway or waiting for the card to circulate. Remote employees can sign too.

Either works, and the best group cards have both. Some teammates will write something heartfelt, while others will joke about surviving without the coworker. Each person signs in their own style, and the natural mix of tones makes the card feel authentic.

Yes. The same idea applies regardless of which parent is taking leave. Adjust the wording to match the situation. Many teams now send group cards for any form of parental leave, recognizing that all new parents deserve a warm send-off from their colleagues. Once the baby arrives, you can also send a newborn baby card to welcome the little one.

GreetPool group cards start at $4.99 per card with unlimited signers and pages. You can create the card and collect messages for free — you only pay when you are ready to deliver. There is no per-signer fee, so whether 5 people sign or 50, the price stays the same.
