Example Open When Letters
Here's what to write inside three of the most popular ones
"Hey you. I know this distance is hard, and right now you're probably wishing I was there. Close your eyes. Think about the last time we laughed so hard we couldn't breathe. That feeling? That's us. And no amount of distance can take that away. I'm counting down the days too. You're worth every single one of them."
"Remember when you tried to cook dinner and set off every smoke alarm in the apartment? Or when you confidently gave directions and got us completely lost for two hours? I'm laughing right now just writing this. You're the funniest person I know, even when you don't mean to be. Especially when you don't mean to be."
"Today is rough. I get it. But here's what I need you to remember: bad days don't make a bad life. You've gotten through every hard day before this one, and you'll get through this one too. You're stronger than you think. And when today is over, I'll still be here, still loving you, still proud of you. Now go drink some water and take a deep breath."
Do's and Don'ts
Tips for creating the best open when letter set
Do This
- Write each letter with a specific scenario in mind
- Include inside jokes and personal references
- Vary the tone - some funny, some romantic, some supportive
- Add small extras like photos, doodles, or mementos
- Number them or keep a list so you remember what's inside each
Avoid This
- ✕Don't write all of them in one sitting - spread it out
- ✕Don't make every letter heavy or serious
- ✕Don't include anything that could be misread out of context
- ✕Don't write too many - 10-15 thoughtful ones beats 50 shallow ones
- ✕Don't forget to include a fun or silly one to balance the emotional ones
