Open When Letters are a fun and thoughtful way to let your long-distance loved one know that you are missing them.

There are TONS of different topics, ideas, and ways to customize the letters on Pinterest.

For me, the best part of making open when letters is designing and decorating the envelopes. I had the most fun decorating the envelopes for my husband’s open when letters when he was on a hardship tour in Central America.

So, I scoured the internet and put together this list of open when letter ideas that are sure to inspire you to make some of your own!
