What to write in a congratulations card

Congratulate them on the specific thing, then acknowledge the work behind it. "Congratulations on the promotion" is nice; "you earned every bit of it" is what they want to hear.

For work

Three things that make a congratulations card land

  1. Name the achievement: the job, the degree, the keys to the new place.
  2. Credit the effort. Most people remember the work more than the win.
  3. For a colleague who is leaving, say what you will miss.
