Tips for writing a love letter

Respond to this Article

   One of the best ways to say exactly how you feel about someone is through words. Finding the perfect way to say what you mean - when in love - can be challenging for anyone. Here are some helpful tips.

Tips for writing your own love letter

Make it very personal. If you’re going to say it - mean it! Express your thanks for that extra special person in your life.

  • Include special nicknames that the two of you share.
  • Be specific. What are the things that he/she does to make you mushy.
  • Include memories of specific times you spent together (Include photos if you have them) Let him/her know what they meant to you and why.
  • Always hand write your letters. This ads a personal touch which is what you are trying to say. Typed letters are lame. Don’t even think about e-mail.

Creative Expressions

Think a letter is too boring? Here are 10 alternate ideas.

  1. Write your message in magnetic letters on the refrigerator.
  1. Create a Letter Hunt. Give a Clue to Clue to Clue. Make your lover search for the prize.
  1. Send your love roses according to how many letters he/she has in their name. On each flower, attach a note that uses the letters of their name, as the first letter of the message. For example: "Scott." The first rose could say, "Sometimes I get starry-eyed when I look at you."
  1. Great Memories (Why I Love You). Put together a scrap book of all the great times you have had together.
  1. An audio/video message. A message with your voice/image on it is an unexpected surprise.
  1. Letter a day. Leave these in places he/she will find.
  1. Write your loved one in a different language. Getting it translated will make their investment in the letter special. (However, this is a lot of work-They better be real special)
  1. Write a ransom note. Ransom an object of your lover saying you’ll return it only after a romantic evening together or whatever terms you would like to set.
  1. Run a bath for your loved one. Use your imagination here.
  1. Hidden notes. Hide little love notes all over the place for him/her to find. This always puts a smile on their face.
