A closure notice people won't miss.
- 01
Dates, not "the holidays"
"Closed December 24 through January 1, back January 4" leaves nothing to guess. Say the day you reopen.
- 02
Who to call if it can't wait
One name or one address for emergencies. If nobody's on call, say when you'll reply instead.
- 03
Put it everywhere at once
Email your clients, pin it in the team channel, add it to your out-of-office and the website banner, and mark it on the team calendar.
For team leads
Your message says “see you in January”. Who's around until then?
The weeks around the holidays are when half the team is out and nobody knows which half. Forgot puts everyone's time off, public holidays in every country and your release dates on one calendar, so you know who's covering before you log off.

Questions
How do I write an office closed for holiday message?
Say that the office is closed, the exact dates, which holiday it's for, the day you reopen, and who to contact for anything urgent. End with a short holiday wish.
When should I send a holiday closure notice?
One to two weeks before the closure to clients, with a reminder a day or two before. Post it to the team as soon as the dates are decided, so people plan around it.
What do I say for a one-day closure, like Memorial Day?
Keep it plain: "Our office will be closed on Monday, May 31 in observance of Memorial Day. We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, June 1." Skip the cheerful sign-off for days of remembrance.
What should my out-of-office say while the office is closed?
That the whole office is closed, until when, and who to contact if something is urgent. Our out-of-office generator writes it with the dates filled in.
