Prompts for heartfelt updates
Share a favorite memory that still makes you smile and why it feels different this year.
Record a short gratitude note for the people who continue to show up.
Invite others to describe how they keep the person's traditions alive.
Add a photo of a place, recipe, or object that instantly brings them to mind.
Plan a day-long cadence
Morning reflection
Schedule a gentle sunrise unlock with a voice note reminding everyone to take the day slowly.
Midday check-in
Open a second capsule at noon with a collaborative prompt so friends can add updates from wherever they are.
Evening gathering
Close the day with a slideshow or playlist paired with a group call, dinner, or quiet moment at home.
Keep participation easy
Share the capsule link a week before the anniversary with clear guidance. Let people know a sentence, a photo, or a thirty-second voice note is enough.
Give the tradition staying power
After the anniversary passes, keep the capsule open for late additions. When everyone feels complete, lock it and schedule next year's unlock so support continues.
