Published July 2, 2025
Turn your anniversary into a storytelling tradition. These prompts help you capture the highlights of each year and dream ahead together—all inside a digital capsule that unlocks on the next milestone.
Prompts by milestone
Year One
- Record a joint voice note recapping your favorite date nights.
- Upload screenshots of texts that still make you laugh.
- Add a letter about what surprised you most about married life.
Year Five
- Film a short interview asking each other where you imagine life in five more years.
- Add photos from trips and projects you completed together.
- List the rituals you never want to lose even when schedules get busy.
Year Fifteen & Beyond
- Invite kids or close friends to contribute gratitude notes.
- Scan keepsakes—ticket stubs, postcards, or recipes you perfected together.
- Write down the dreams you still want to chase side by side.
Make it a ritual
- Schedule the capsule to unlock during a candlelit dinner and play the audio messages together.
- Pair the digital reveal with a printed booklet of vows and highlights from the year.
- Create a new capsule after each anniversary to keep the tradition going.
Set the reveal for your next celebration
Once you close the capsule, choose the unlock date for your next anniversary. Pair the reveal email with a QR code printed on the dinner menu, a framed photo, or a keepsake box to spark instant nostalgia.
