FAQs
How to pick a quote that feels genuine?
Look for one that mirrors the specific shared moment or feeling you and your work friend have — inside jokes, project struggles, or laughter breaks. If it triggers a memory, it’s genuine.
When is best to send these quotes?
Use them during moments of stress, farewell days, celebrations, or just random midweek notes. They shine when least expected.
Can I personalize these quotes?
Absolutely. You can add names, specific experiences, or tweak a few words. The emotion matters more than perfect form.
Should I share publicly (social, card) or privately (message)?
That depends on your relationship. A public post honors them openly; a private note often feels more intimate and meaningful.
Is it okay to mix funny and heartfelt quotes?
Yes — combining humor with depth often hits right. It reflects real friendship: laughter and sincerity side by side.
