Creative Vacation Responder for Email at work

[NHBelle]

Help....I really want to put something clever for my vacation responder email at work. I was thinking something like....

Thanks for your email, but I'm off to the happiest place on earth visiting my favorite mouse or I am currently vacationing at the happiest places on earth where dreams come true and will answer your email as soon as I return.

What do you guys think? Does anyone have any other creative/funny ideas????

I'm off work doing what I like best:
A whole lotta nothing and a little bit of something!

I think both of your ideas are cute although I think I like your second one better. For me, I stick to professional away messages but if you work in a place where this would be appropriate then go for it! Enjoy your trip.

That seems a little un-professional to me for a work related out of office, but to each his own.

Vacation responder = out of office?

I agree that it seems unprofessional. I would stick with a classic out of office message. No need to make it clever.

For your personal e-mail, cute; your work e-mail, unprofessional.

I guess I will keep it professional, but I did add a small Disney balloon because that shows at least a little of my personality...sometimes I just can't contain my excitement LOL

We were required to make them professional and we even told what we had to put on them. Since it's a business I would keep it professional.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

We have to make ours professional so i couldn’t do either of those.

Along with people posting their vacation plans on Facebook, it just seems to me that you are saying: "IF YOU WANT TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE AND STEAL EVERYTHING I OWN, THIS IS WHEN I WILL BE AWAY"

Most companies require you to leave a voicemail message stating you will be out and when you'll return.

That doesn't mean that you are out of town.

So, you prefer to email someone and not know that they won't respond to you in a week? Um, no. And like dish rag said, many people are out of the office for a variety of reasons other than the whole family being out of town.

 

[anniemae]

we could never do that, would be considered too unprofessional.

We have to do the standard, "I will be out of the office from Monday Feb 1 to Friday Feb 5. Please contact Susan Smith in my absence. Otherwise, all messages will be answered when I return on Monday Feb 8.

The OP in their example was saying where they were out of town. That is my objection. Nothing wrong with saying you are out of the office until a specific date.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

That doesn't mean that you are out of town.

Or that your family is.

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I love the idea and if I were emailing you, I would smile as be happy for you! But my workplace requires something more formal which is a bummer.

That seems a little un-professional to me for a work related out of office, but to each his own.

And it also occurs to me that not everybody has any clue where the "happiest place on earth" is.

 

[Poohforyou]

This ranks up their with parents writing an excuse for missing school by professing WDW is educational.

We don’t do ‘Out of office’ replies. All in our department belongs to one or more listservs and have work smartphones. If we get an email while out, we either respond or forward to someone else in th department.
