A bon voyage envelope for the departure lounge.
For the airport. Open at the gate. 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.
Bon voyage envelope: what goes inside
A letter
Advice they won’t take, reminders they won’t need, and how much you’ll miss them.
Dear Sol, Passport. Charger. Call your mother. In that order.
A postcard
A photo of home to take with them: the street, the dog, the kitchen.
For when you’re homesick. We’ll be here.
A film
Everyone waving them off, including the ones who couldn’t make the airport.
0:55 · Bon voyage, from the doorstep
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.
Bon voyage envelope questions
Can it open at the airport?
Set it to open at boarding time and send the link before they leave. They’ll need a signal to open it, so the gate is better than the plane.
Can I send it to a group travelling together?
Yes. One link works for all of them.
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.
