Which date should I pick?

Two good options: their last day of work, or the first day of retirement (the "freedom" day). Use the city where they worked, or where they will retire β€” whichever tells the story better.

And the time?

The hour is not important here; use noon or the evening. The day is the milestone.

Suggested style: Golden or Cosmic β€” celebratory and timeless.

The text underneath
