Spice up your open when letters

With open when letters, you really want to take a step further and be creative as possible. Some ideas you can do are; putting cute eco-confetti by stamping interesting patterns with leaves lying around your house. Not only is this eco-friendly, but gives it a cool, earthy feel – symbolic of your natural relationship.

Take it a step further and make it amazingly thoughtful by including small gifts that have sentiment. You can include a mixtape of your favourite songs, attach a photos of you two together, spray your favourite perfume or cologne the letter. Use your imagination with this, but most of all make sure it really resonates with you and your partner.
