Retirement Guest Book

Guest book pages for a retirement party: guests sign in and write a favourite memory, advice and wishes, for a keepsake the retiree keeps.

What’s inside

  • A cover with name and date lines
  • Sign-in pages, 4 guests a page
  • Best memory of working with you
  • Advice for retirement
  • Wishes for what’s next
  • Bucket-list suggestions
  • Photo pages
  • Gifts and thank-yous

Opening your download

Your files arrive as a ZIP. Download it from Etsy in a web browser (on a computer is easiest), then unzip it: on most computers, double-click it; on a phone or tablet, open it in your files app and tap it. Open the PDFs from the unzipped folder, not from inside the ZIP.

Can’t find the download? On Etsy, go to Your account → Purchases and reviews, and use the Download files button on the order.

Printing

  • Print at 100% — “actual size” — not “fit to page”, so everything comes out the size it was drawn.
  • Use the file that matches your paper: A4 or US Letter.
  • Ordinary printer paper is fine; heavier paper (120–160 gsm, about 32–43 lb) makes cards and covers sturdier.
  • Print only the pages you need, as often as you like, for your own household, party or classroom.

Colour or ink-saver

Every page comes twice: in colour, and in an ink-saver version that prints in black on white. The pages are otherwise the same.

Making your guest book

  • Print the pages at 100% on heavier paper if you can (120–160 gsm).
  • Put a pen or two beside the book at the party, with the cover on top.
  • Afterwards, punch the pages for a ring binder, or take them to a print shop to be bound.
  • Print extra sign-in or message pages if you expect a big crowd.
