A Christmas card in a bottle

Written now, sent digitally. They watch it sail in and it opens on Christmas morning. Or a party invitation that sails to every guest and comes back with their replies

Your first Christmas bottle is free, then $1.99 each. A party invitation $15.

A Christmas card with Santa walking through the snow, with a letter to Helen written on it. A clear glass bottle, its cork sealed in green wax with holly, the letter sealed in burgundy wax with a Christmas tree

How BottleSend works

A Christmas letter that travels by sea.

Everything happens online: no app, nothing to post.

  1. Step 1

    Design your bottle

    Choose the glass and a wax seal with a tree, Santa or a reindeer. The cork comes in green wax with holly.

  2. Step 2

    Write it on a Christmas card

    Pick a card, from snowy villages to gingerbread, and write your message. They keep it as a PDF too.

  3. Step 3

    Send it off for the day

    Choose Christmas morning and share the link. They watch it drift in, and nobody can open it early.

On the way

It sails past a snowy island.

What they watch while it drifts in: snow falling on the sea, Santa waving from the shore and his sleigh flying overhead.

27 cards, from cosy to sparkling

A few of the 27 Christmas designs, for a letter or an invitation. The rest wait for you when you write.

In a bottle: your letter

For a party: your invitation

You light the tree. We'll send the invitations.

Your invitation sails in on a Christmas card and washes ashore for every guest at the same moment, the one you choose. One tap to reply, one more to put it in their calendar.

  • Know who’s coming: how many grown-ups, how many little elves, and who can’t eat what
  • One link for the group chat, or your own guest list, typed in or pasted from Excel
  • Every guest gets their own link, by email, WhatsApp, Viber or Messenger
  • Print it on the same card, for the fridge door
