Team occasions
A company anniversary.
From the people in it.
Company anniversary ideas for a small business or a growing team. Mark the year with colleagues’ memories, a shared occasion and a card for the people who built it.
AI checks. Human review. Your own words. ↓Company anniversary ideas
Five ways to mark the year.
A company anniversary and a person’s work anniversary are different occasions. Choose which one you are marking so the thanks has a clear recipient.
- 01
A card for the founding team
Invite colleagues who worked with the founders. Let people contribute their own memories without inventing quotes or turning the card into a company history document.
- 02
An afternoon of real stories
Ask volunteers to share a photograph or a moment they remember. Check permission before displaying customer work, names or images of former colleagues.
- 03
Include the newest colleagues
A milestone should not belong only to people who were there at the start. Give newer staff a role in the occasion and explain any company references they would not know.
- 04
Thank a long-serving supplier
If a person or partner helped the company grow, gather a card from the team who worked with them. Keep the thank you separate from renewing a contract or negotiating a price.
- 05
Make different offices part of it
Arrange a shared opening time or let teams read the card in their own workday. A single celebration at headquarters should not be the only way to participate.
The organiser’s list
Choose what the date marks.
Confirm the milestone year, the recipient and the people you will invite. Keep gifts optional and check permission before publishing memories.
- Verify the founding or milestone date.
- Choose a person or named team for the card.
- Invite colleagues across locations.
- Check permission for any photographs.
- Keep personal work anniversaries on their own dates.
AI safety checks
People write.
AI checks.
The check looks for threats, abuse, sexual content, spam and exposed private details. Flagged notes are kept off the card for a person to review.
How the checks work ↗A person can correct it
Company cards have a spam folder for managers and admins. On a card bought without an account, the creator reviews set aside notes through their manage link.
The limits are clear
AI can miss a note or flag one wrongly. If the check is unavailable, writing still works.
Check the data policy
Notes are sent to TypeSafe for the check. Names and card access codes are left out of that request.
Read the privacy notice ↗From an occasion to a card
Give them
everyone’s words.
- 01
Create the card
Pick a cover, name the recipient and choose when it opens. You can buy one card without a company account.
- 02
Share the writing link
Colleagues contribute in a browser. Each person writes and signs their own message.
- 03
They open it on the day
The messages arrive together in one card. The recipient reads it on their phone.
For repeated birthdays, work anniversaries, welcomes and leaving days, use a company account with Slack and BambooHR.

How is a company anniversary different from a work anniversary?
A company anniversary marks the organisation’s age. A work anniversary marks how long one person has worked there. They need different recipients and dates.
Can we thank a team rather than one person?
Yes. Name the team as the recipient and invite the people who want to contribute.
Do we need to publish the card?
No. Share the reading link with its intended recipient or team.
Mark the year with the people in it.
