Wanted Cards: Congratulations for an Ex.

August 20, 2026


Some relationships end, but that doesn’t always mean we stop cheering each other on. This week we’re looking at three particularly underrepresented Congratulations categories:

Occasions > Congratulations > Ex Boyfriend
Occasions > Congratulations > Ex Girlfriend
Occasions > Congratulations > Ex Partner

Whether it’s congratulating an ex on a new job, graduation, new home, personal achievement, retirement, or another exciting milestone, there are plenty of occasions when someone might want to say, “We may not be together anymore, but I’m still happy for you.”

These categories could range from warm and sincere to friendly, mature, gently nostalgic, or wonderfully awkward and funny. After all, navigating life after a relationship can take many forms, and our card collection should reflect that too.

So let’s give these forgotten exes a little attention and create cards for those moments when “Congratulations!” survives the breakup.

And if you’re wondering what on earth to say on a congratulations card for an ex, keep an eye out for this week’s Wanted Cards Extra, where we’ll explore text ideas, humor, occasions, and different approaches to these surprisingly versatile categories.
