A welcome to the team card the whole team signs

First days are a blur of logins and names. A card from the team, waiting in their inbox on the first morning, makes the names friendly before they have met anyone. Share one link, everyone adds a hello and a tip for the first week, and the card opens with a doorbell chime and a cat holding a sign that says hi.

what to write

What to write in a welcome to the team card

A hello, one useful tip, and an open door. That is the whole formula.

Welcome to the team! Ask me anything about the codebase, and ask Sam anything about where the good snacks are.

So glad you said yes. We talked about your interview for a week afterwards, in a good way.

Welcome! Nobody expects you to know anything in week one. Week two is also fine. We are happy you are here.

A tip from me: the 10 AM standup is at 10:05. Everyone knows. Nobody fixes it. Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the team. I sit two desks down, and I have a spare charger for every device ever made.

Your first lunch is on the team, that is the rule. Welcome, and bring your questions.

Welcome! Mute is on the bottom left, the printer never works, and we are glad to have you.

Hello and welcome. If anyone sends you a "quick sync" invite, come find me first.

three tips

Three tips for organizing a welcome card

TIP 1

Start the card when the offer is accepted

You usually have a week or two before the start date. Create the card early and share the link with the team, their manager and anyone they interviewed with.

TIP 2

Ask for one tip each

Give people a prompt: one useful thing you wish someone had told you in your first week. It makes the card practical, not just polite.

TIP 3

Open it on the first morning

Schedule the card for 9 AM on their start date and send the recipient link in the welcome email. It is a kind first thing to open.

how it works

How a welcome card works here

STEP 1

Start the welcome card

Pick Welcome, add the new teammate's name and start date, and choose when the card should open.

STEP 2

The team says hello

Share one link with everyone they will work with. People add a greeting, a first-week tip, a sticker or a doodle.

STEP 3

It opens on their first morning

They tap the envelope, a doorbell chimes, and every hello arrives one at a time.

questions

Welcome card questions

How do we send the card before they have a work email?

The card is a web link, so you can send it to their personal email or put it in the welcome email that goes out on day one. They open it in any browser; no account is needed.

Can their manager and interviewers sign too?

Yes. Anyone with the signing link can add a message. Share it with everyone they will work with, including people on other teams.

What if a teammate is out and signs later?

The signing link keeps working after the card opens. Their message arrives stamped LATE, so the new hire still gets the hello.

Can we add a doodle or a map to the snacks?

Each message has a 24 by 24 doodle pad, so you can draw a small map, a welcome sign or something less helpful. Pixel stickers are included too.

Is the card free?

Yes. It is free while we launch, and any card started during the launch stays free to send. Signers never need an account.
