Good luck, sent the night before.

Three cards, already made

Tap an envelope to open it. Nothing here is sent to anybody — these are samples, and the links below them open the write page with that note in the message box, which is as far as any of it goes. We never ask for the other person’s number: you get a link at the end and you send it yourself.

1. For a friend · Sage, casual hand

   Tap the envelope

   All the best for tomorrow. You've put months into this and the only bit left is the easy part, which is turning up and being yourself. Eat something first, get there early, and tell me how it went whenever you're up to it.

   Write this one for a friend

2. For your sister · Lilac, formal script

   Tap the envelope

   All the best, behen. You've been the smart one in this family since we were small, and I've never once seen you walk into something unprepared. Tomorrow won't be the exception. Get some sleep, and go in without the panic.

   Write this one for your sister

3. For your brother · Marigold, the default hand

   Tap the envelope

   All the best. You're considerably better at this than you ever tell people you are, and I've watched you put months into it without making a fuss. Go in calm, and whatever you do, don't talk yourself down in the room.

   Write this one for your brother

The names on these three are made up. The words are the suggestions we wrote, which is exactly what you get in the box — and then you change whatever is only yours.

What you are buying

₹49 is the card itself: up to 400 characters in your own words, the envelope, the wax seal, and the paper unfolding when they open the link on their phone — which is what the three above are doing. You see the finished thing, working, before you pay for it.

₹99 adds a photo, or a voice note of up to a minute in your own voice — one or the other, not both — and lets you seal the card so it will not open before a time you choose, anywhere from fifteen minutes to thirty days ahead, Indian time. Either card stays readable for ninety days, counted from when you send it or from when a sealed one unlocks.

The paper, the envelope colour, the wax and the handwriting are all yours to change while you write — the three above are three of the combinations, not three fixed designs. There is no account to make and nothing recurring. We do not know when a card is opened, and we do not tell you.
