An anniversary letter with room to say what the years were.
A year, or forty. Say what the years were. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
Anniversary envelope: what goes inside
A letter
What the years were actually like: the flat with the damp, the year it was hard, the thing that still makes you both laugh.
Dear Ruth, Forty years, and you still hide the good biscuits.
A postcard
A photo from each decade, a postcard each. Ten pieces is room for a lot of years.
1989. The perm was your idea.
A film
The children, the grandchildren, the neighbour who was at the wedding, one after another.

How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Anniversary envelope questions
Can the whole family be in it?
One person makes the envelope, but everyone can be in it: collect their clips for the film and their lines for the letter, then send one link.
Can I write one for my own anniversary?
Of course. Write it to them, set it to open on the morning, and send the link the night before.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
