Uplifting
Wishing you all the best as you step into this new chapter! ✨ I have no doubt you're going to absolutely shine. You've got this, and I'm cheering for you every step of the way.
Thoughtful
Whatever comes next for you, I believe in you completely. I hope it turns out to be everything you've been hoping for. Rooting for you, always. ✨
Professional
Wishing you all the very best in this exciting new endeavour. Your talent and dedication are sure to take you far. I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful things ahead.
"All the best" is what we say when we do not know what else to say. It is polite, it is instantly forgotten, and it is the default on every farewell card in every office in India. A message that says what you are wishing for, and why you think they will manage it, takes thirty extra seconds and lasts considerably longer.
How do you make a best wishes message specific?
To make a best wishes message specific, narrow the wish down to what this person is actually walking into. Good wishes go wrong by being too large. "Wishing you all the success and happiness in the future" covers everything and therefore says nothing.
Leaving for a job abroad: wish them one good friend in the first month, because that is the thing that decides whether the year works.
Starting a business: wish them a boring second year, because the first one will not be.
Sitting an exam: wish them a clear head on the morning, not "success", which they cannot control.
Moving to a new city: wish them a neighbourhood they like walking in.
The narrower the wish, the more it sounds like it came from someone who knows them.
What to write, by what comes next
| What they are starting | A wish worth making | What to leave out |
|---|---|---|
| A new job | One good colleague, and a manager who notices work | "Don't forget us", which puts you in the message |
| Their first job | Permission to not know things yet | Advice about corporate life |
| Moving cities or countries | A neighbourhood that feels like theirs, and a soft landing | Warnings about the weather, the rent, or the people |
| Exams: boards, JEE, NEET, UPSC, CA | A clear head on the day, and sleep the night before | The word "results" |
| Starting a business | Steadiness, and customers who pay on time | Anything that sounds like doubt |
| Going back to work after a break | Confidence, and colleagues who make room | "Hope you can manage both" |
| Retirement | Mornings with nowhere to be, and work that is theirs to choose | Jokes about being idle |
| A new home | A house that gets noisy quickly | The loan |
| Leaving your team | One honest line about what they did here | A group-signed card with nothing personal in it |
Best wishes messages you can send
All the best for Monday! ✨ You're walking in better prepared than you feel. Wishing you one good colleague in the first fortnight, because that's the part that makes or breaks a new place. Tell me how it goes.
Four years and you never once let a bad week show on the team. Whoever gets you next has no idea what's arriving. Best wishes, and don't disappear.
All the best for tomorrow. You've done the work, so tonight's job is sleep, not one more revision. Clear head in the morning. That's all I'm wishing for you.
Best wishes for the big move! 🌏 Wishing you a flat with good light, a shop that knows your order, and people who make the new city feel less new. Come back with stories.
Congratulations and all the best. 🚀 Starting is the hard part and you've done it. Wishing you a very boring second year after a very exciting first one.
Best wishes for the first week back. You haven't forgotten how to do this, it just feels that way for about ten days. Go easy on yourself, and call me after.
All the best for day one! Nobody expects you to know anything for the first three months, so ask everything. Wishing you a team that's generous with its time.
Best wishes for everything that's coming. 💫 You'll do well, and I'll be here either way.
How do you sign a group farewell card?
Sign a group farewell card with two lines: one thing they did that you noticed, then the wish. Otherwise the card goes round the office, everyone writes "All the best 😊", and the person takes home a page of handwriting that tells them nothing.
The two lines look like this:
- Name one thing they did that you noticed. "Thank you for rewriting the onboarding doc. I still send it to every new joiner."
- Then the wish. "Best wishes for the new role."
If you did not work closely with them, say that honestly and be warm anyway: "We barely overlapped, but every meeting you ran actually finished on time, which is more than most. Best wishes."
Do
- Name the specific thing you are wishing for, not "success".
- Add one line about what they were good at.
- Say what stays: "This doesn't change anything, I'm still messaging you about football."
- Send exam wishes the evening before, not on the morning. Nobody needs a phone full of notifications an hour before a paper.
Avoid
- Don't wish someone luck for something they have controlled by working hard. Wish them calm instead.
- Don't turn a farewell into a message about how much you will suffer without them.
- Don't write "hope it works out" to someone starting a business.
- Don't promise to stay in touch unless you plan to send the first message.
Plenty of these moments have a page of their own: a new job, a farewell, graduation, retirement, or a housewarming. If the news has already landed and you are celebrating rather than sending someone off, congratulations messages is the better page.

Frequently asked questions
What should I write instead of "all the best"?
Name what you are actually wishing for. "Wishing you one good colleague in the first month" or "wishing you a clear head on the morning of the exam" sounds like it came from someone who knows the person, which "all the best" never does.
What do I write in a farewell card for a colleague?
Two lines: one specific thing they did that you noticed, then the wish for what comes next. A page full of "All the best 😊" tells the person nothing, and one concrete sentence is what they will reread.
What is a good message before an exam?
Wish them calm rather than luck, and send it the evening before rather than on the morning. "You've done the work, tonight's job is sleep" is more useful than anything about results.
What should I write to someone moving to another country?
Wish them something small and practical: light in the flat, a local shop that knows their order, one friend early on. Skip warnings about the weather, the cost of living, or how much you will miss them.
How do I wish someone well when I don't know them very well?
Say so lightly and stay warm. "We barely overlapped, but every meeting you ran finished on time, which is rarer than it should be. Best wishes." Honesty reads better than invented closeness.
What do you say to someone starting a business?
Acknowledge the nerve it took to start, and wish them something realistic such as customers who pay on time or a calmer second year. Avoid "hope it works out", which sounds like doubt even when it is not meant that way.
Is "best wishes" too formal for a friend?
It can sound formal on its own, so use it as the closing line after something personal rather than as the whole message. Between friends, one specific sentence followed by "best wishes" reads perfectly naturally.
What is a Kehdoo best wishes card?
It's a short animated greeting page for "Best Wishes". Write or pick a message, add a photo if you want, and Kehdoo turns it into a shareable card at a single link.
Is it free to create and share a best wishes card?
Yes. Creating and sharing a card on Kehdoo is free, and you don't need an account to do it.
Can I add a photo to my best wishes card?
Yes. You can add a photo during creation, and it's resized and stripped of metadata before it's stored.
How do I share the card once it's ready?
Share the link directly via WhatsApp or your device's native share sheet, copy the link, or download the card as a PNG.
Don't let the words sit inside.
