Open-when letter ideas

An open-when letter is a note for a moment that hasn't happened yet. Seal it now, and it opens on their phone on the day you pick.

For a partner

• Open on our anniversary.
• Open when you've had a long week.
• Open on the first day of the new job.
• Open the morning of the big exam.

For long distance

• Open when you land.
• Open halfway to the day we see each other.
• Open on the night before I arrive.
• Open on your birthday, if I can't be there.

For a best friend

• Open on graduation day.
• Open one year after you moved away.
• Open on New Year's Eve, and tell me if I was right.

How to send them

Seal one capsule for each moment and give each its own opening date, from 1 hour to 5 years away. Your friend sees a countdown and can lock in a guess about what it says, and on the day it opens with a reveal.

Questions

What is an open-when letter?

A short note to open at a specific moment, like "open when you miss me" or "open when you get the job". With Tellater each one is sealed until a date you pick, then it opens on their phone.

Can I send several at once?

Yes. Seal one capsule per moment and give each its own date, so they arrive one by one.

Will they know it's from me?

Yes. Tellater isn't anonymous: your name is on the envelope with a tick and the last 4 digits of your verified number.
