No. 01 only opens these slots first.

Candle Letterpress is editable in five small places and nowhere else. The launch page protects the gift feeling first, then gives the user only the fields that can survive inside that composition.

No. 01

Candle Letterpress

Wax seal / candle letter

Letter body

For the person who deserves a slower, warmer entrance.

Cream paper grain, candle-gold edges, and a wax seal that makes the whole card feel wrapped before the first sentence lands.

Sealed in wax, left warm at the edges.

Visual guardrails

The headline must stay within two lines and remain the first thing seen on a 390px screen.
The photo pocket is optional; when empty, it should still look like a tucked keepsake rather than a missing upload.
The closing strip is for one sentence only. If the user needs a paragraph, the slot design has already failed.

Boundary summary

The page should still read like a wax-sealed letter even when the photo is empty. Text is allowed to personalize the card, not to turn it into a blank canvas.

This page defines the editing contract before persistence, login merge, and payment arrive.

Every field needs a stable empty state so the template still feels finished before a user types anything.

The first implementation only needs to prove boundaries and hierarchy, not real-time WYSIWYG editing.

Opening fold

These fields control the first emotional entrance. They should stay short, precise, and gift-like.

The first sentence visible when the letter opens. It should read like a gift line, not like a generic birthday slogan.

Headline

Slot anchor: Top-left letter headline
Character limit: 26
When empty: Falls back to the template opening line and keeps the same two-line rhythm.
Guardrail: Do not let it exceed two lines or compete with the wax seal and photo pocket.

A short, softer line that sits under the headline and adds one personal detail.

Memory line

Slot anchor: Below the headline, above the main body
Character limit: 42
When empty: The space collapses cleanly with no visible hole.
Guardrail: Treat it like a margin note, not a second paragraph.

Letter body

This is the only place allowed to hold paragraph-length warmth. Everything else should support this block, not compete with it.

The only paragraph-sized field in the template. It should hold warmth, not biography.

Main note

Slot anchor: Center-left message block
Character limit: 140
Recommended rows: 5
When empty: Falls back to the launch template copy so the card still reads as complete.
Guardrail: Keep it to one warm paragraph; once it turns into scrolling prose, the composition is broken.

The last line resting near the wax seal. Best for one name or one compact sign-off.

Closing signature

Slot anchor: Bottom closing strip
Character limit: 24
When empty: Keeps the template closing line so the wax-sealed ending still resolves cleanly.
Guardrail: One sentence only. No stacked signatures, dates, or emoji clusters.

Keepsake layer

The photo pocket is optional, but its empty state still has to feel intentional and complete.

Optional upload slot designed to behave like a tucked print under soft tape.

Shows a soft placeholder frame that still feels intentional and gift-like.

Photo pocket

Slot anchor: Top-right keepsake pocket
When empty: Shows a soft placeholder frame that still feels intentional and gift-like.
Guardrail: Crop for a close keepsake feel. Avoid wide landscapes, screenshots, or anything that visually outweighs the letter.
