I've been seeing these "Open When..." cards all over Pinterest and I think they are the cutest and sweetest idea ever! My husband is the romantic type so I knew he would love this.
For the people who have never heard of this; you basically create a bunch of different letters for the recipient to open at different times. You can also fill the envelopes with momentos, memes, candy, anything! I also made my own envelops just to make them more fun looking then plain old white ones.
As I was starting this project I realized that my printer was out of ink so I was going to have to create everything by hand. I was going to fill them with a billion memes and cute animal pictures, so this was a HUGE bummer! But I guess in the end it made it more personal anyway.
I thought I would share what I filled some of my envelopes with to give you an idea on how to start your own. Above each picture I will tell you the "topic" of the envelope, and below I will share what I put in mine and give you a few more ideas!
