The surprise trip reveal on a phone reading Special delivery for Emma & James, with a sealed cream envelope and the note We've been keeping a little secret. Open the envelope to find out where we're going!

This is the real thing, filled with sample details.

what they see

How the reveal plays out

The best part of a surprise trip is the second they find out. This stretches that second into a few happy steps, and you can film their face the whole way.

A sealed envelope

Their name sits on the front in gold, with your note underneath. They tap the wax seal to open it.

Their boarding pass

Out slides a ticket with their names, the date, the time, the gate and the seat. Only the destination is hidden, under a gold heart.

Scratch the heart

They scratch the foil with a fingertip. It only clears once they've really scratched it, so nothing gives the secret away early.

You're going to...

A little plane crosses the heart and the screen dives into the reveal: the destination in big gold letters, your message and a shower of confetti.

Questions people ask

Does it work for any destination?

Yes. Type in anywhere: a weekend a few hours away, a beach week, a theme park trip or a honeymoon overseas.

Is the trip included?

No. You book the trip yourself. This is the fun way to tell them about it.

What if I don't want to show the date or the gate?

Every boarding pass detail is optional. Leave off anything you don't want to share, and rename any label you like.

Can they peek at the destination?

No. It stays hidden under the gold heart until they scratch it away.

Can I change it after I make my link?

A link can't be edited once it's made, but you can make a new one anytime.

Is anything mailed to me?

No. It's a digital download, so nothing ships. Make it and send it the same day.
