The question, in your own words, sealed until the moment.
The question, in your own words, opened when they’re ready. 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.
Proposal envelope: what goes inside
A letter
Everything that led here, in order, ending with the question. Take the whole page; you’ll only do this once.
Dear Lena, I’ve started this nine times. Here’s the tenth.
A postcard
The place it started, and a line about where you’d like it to go.
The bench where you said no to a second drink. And then yes.
A film
Ask it out loud as well. They’ll want to watch it again later, and they will.

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.
Proposal envelope questions
Should I propose with a link?
Probably not on its own. It works best alongside the real thing: a letter they open at the table just before you ask, or one for the morning after with everything you didn’t manage to say.
Can I stop it being opened too early?
Set the moment it opens, down to the minute, and add a passphrase only they would know. Until then they see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
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.
