Dear future me,

Write it down. We'll keep it safe.

Sit down at our table, write a letter, and choose the day we mail it. We seal it, keep it safe, and post it when that day comes. A year from now, or any date you like.

Enclosed, With Love envelope with a wax heart seal

Letters for later

How it works

Four steps, and a year of waiting.

One

Write

Sit down, take a sheet, take your time. Nobody reads it but the person you address it to.

Two

Seal

We close it with real wax at the table, and it stays closed until the day it arrives.

Three

Choose the date

Pick the day we mail it: a year from today, or two weeks before a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation. We write it on the envelope.

Four

Receive

We keep it safe and post it on the day you chose. It arrives 7 to 10 days later anywhere in the continental US: a small envelope from the past, and you remember who you were when you wrote it.

What you get

One letter, sealed and delivered.

Everything you need is on the table when you sit down. Take as long as you like; the stall is not in a hurry and neither is the letter.

Sealed until the date you chose.

$15for one letter, or two for $25
  • Lined stationery for your letter

  • Mailed on the date you choose

Cards only at the stall.

Who to write to

Most people write to themselves. You can write to anyone.

To yourself

A year from today. What you hope for, what you are worried about, what you want to remember. Future you is easy to write to.

To someone you love

A parent, a child, a friend, a partner. Pick a mailing date a couple of weeks before the day that matters to them, and it arrives in time.

To the couple

At a wedding, every guest writes one. We mail the whole bundle in time for the first anniversary. Weddings and events

Where to find us

Kansas City markets, cafes, and events. Dates coming soon.

We pop up on both sides of the state line: farmers markets on Saturdays, partner cafes, and holiday markets this winter. The first dates are being confirmed now, and every confirmed one is on the dates page.

One email when we announce a date. Nothing else.

Where this came from

A cafe in Paris, two letters, and a year of waiting.

Enclosed, With Love started at a cafe table in Paris, where Katie and her mom each wrote a letter to themselves and agreed to open them a year later. The letters arrived; the year had changed them both. The idea was too good to keep. Read the story
