The part that arrives later

Sealed at the party. Opened when it matters.

A wooden box in a garage depends on somebody remembering it exists. This doesn't. Your guests fill it in while they RSVP, it seals, and on the day it opens we email it to you to pass on — a first anniversary, a child's eighteenth, ten years after a graduation party.

One for each occasion

Four capsules, four different horizons.

  1. Letters to the baby

    Guests write to the person that baby will become, and the letters open on their 18th birthday — or a date you pick. Nobody writes "congrats" to someone who isn't here yet, which is exactly why the letters come out extraordinary.

  2. A letter for year one

    At a bridal shower, guests write to the couple, and the letters open a year after the wedding date you enter. Paper is the traditional first-anniversary gift.

  3. Capsules that get graded

    At a graduation, guests call where the grad will be living and what they'll be doing; at a retirement, how the first year will go. When it opens, the guest of honor says what actually happened and everybody finds out who called it.

Setting one up

You confirm a date. You rarely type one.

Every capsule already shows the day it will open, worked out from something you've told us — the party date, the wedding date you entered for the shower, the baby's real birth date once it exists. Your job is to read it and agree. A date that has already gone is refused rather than opening the second you press the button.

  • One button: Schedule it
  • Change the date if you want a different milestone
  • Cancel whenever you like — it stops immediately

Written on the day it all happened. Opened on the day it means the most.

What we can and can't promise

Honest about an eighteen-year promise.

Sealed means sealed

Nobody reads a sealed note before it opens. Not the other guests, not you, and not even the person who wrote it. You see how many are waiting; that is all there is to see.

It doesn't depend on the party

The capsule is complete the moment your guests write it. It doesn't need the invitation, the event page, or you logging in again — and the private link inside never changes.

It lands in your inbox

The reveal is emailed to the account that owns the event, and the link can be forwarded — so you pass the graduate their own capsule when the day comes.

The one thing that can fail

We keep the recipient's email that whole time, and an email address can stop working without us knowing. For an eighteen-year horizon, use an address you expect to keep.

Opened years from now

Sealed today, delivered later.

Letters and predictions your guests seal at the party, arriving on the anniversary, the birthday or the decade you choose.

Common questions

Good to know.

Where does the capsule get delivered?

To the email address on the account that owns the event, and the link inside can be forwarded — it never changes. The one exception: when the baby arrives and you enter the real stats, the guests with the closest predictions are emailed that they won.

Can I read a sealed note early?

No. Sealed notes are held server-side and there is no screen — host, guest or author — that shows one before the day it opens.

What does "graded" mean?

The graduation and retirement capsules ask structured questions — which city, what job, married, kids. When it opens, the guest of honor types what actually happened and every guess is scored against it. No login required a decade later; the link is the key.

What if nobody writes anything?

It still opens, and says so plainly, rather than arriving as a confusing empty page.

Can I change my mind?

Cancel a scheduled capsule at any time and it stops immediately. Delete the event and it goes with it — nothing is delivered afterwards.

Which events can use it?

Four occasions, each with the capsule that fits: Letters to the baby, A letter for year one at a bridal shower, The 10-year capsule at a graduation and The one-year capsule at a retirement. Birthdays don't have a capsule.

Ready when you are

Build it free, send when it's ready.

Seal it at the party. Let it turn up on the day it will mean the most.
