Deployment Open When Letters, 24 Printable Envelopes and Writing Prompts

24 printable Open When letters for a deployment, with envelopes that come already titled, a prompt card for every letter, and a way to send any of them digitally too.

Calls drop. Mail call comes up empty. A stack of letters written before they leave is the one thing you can promise will arrive. These cover the first night away, the halfway point, the holiday they miss and the week before they come home.

THE 24 LETTERS
Open on your first night away
Open when you miss home
Open when you've had a bad day
Open when you can't sleep
Open when you miss me
Open when you need something stupid
Open when you haven't heard from me in a while
Open when mail call comes up empty
Open when you feel far from everything
Open on your birthday
Open on our anniversary
Open on a holiday away from home
Open when you need to laugh
Open when you're worried about us at home
Open when you're exhausted
Open when you've done something you're proud of
Open when the halfway point arrives
Open when you need courage
Open when you feel forgotten
Open when the calls keep dropping
Open when you're counting the days
Open when you want news from home
Open the week before you come home
Open when you're finally home

SEND ONE DIGITALLY, TOO
Paper is lovely when you can hand it over. When you can't, write the letter at openwhen.cards and it arrives sealed on their phone. They tap the wax seal to open it. Your order includes a year of OpenWhen premium for free: your own song, photos, voice notes and handwriting fonts. Go to openwhen.cards/redeem/etsy and enter your Etsy order number. The steps are in the PDF too.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Download the PDF after checkout.
2. Print at 100% (Actual size). Light cardstock works best for envelopes, regular paper for letters and cards.
3. Cut on the solid lines, fold on the dashed ones.
4. Write, seal, stack.
