A pregnancy announcement, told your way, with the scan inside.

The news, told your way, with the scan if you like. 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.

Pregnancy envelope: what goes inside

A letter

The news, how you found out, and whatever else you’d like them to know. Due date optional.

Dear Mum, Sit down. Actually, you’re probably sitting. Good.

A postcard

The scan, on a postcard of its own. Caption it however you like.

Twelve weeks. Already has your nose.

A film

Tell them yourselves, to camera. It’s the next best thing to being in the room.

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.

Pregnancy envelope questions

Can I keep it private?

Only people with the link can open it, and it never appears in search results. Add a passphrase if you want to be extra sure.

Can I tell everyone at the same time?

Set the moment it opens and send the link to everyone beforehand. They all see a countdown, then the news at once.

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.
