How to Write Love Letters

Who doesn’t love receiving a love letter from someone they care about? Whether it’s a note of gratitude for a small favor or a good morning love letter that kicks off a feel-good day, it’s easy to read a love note and feel cherished and appreciated. What’s not so easy is coming up with love letter ideas and actually putting pen to paper.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “What do I write in a romantic love letter to my wife or partner?,” “What’s the secret sauce in the love letters of great men?,” or “What should I write in a letter to my boyfriend on his birthday?” Try some of the tips and tricks below.

1. Don’t Stress

If you are wondering how to make love letters by hand or how to write love letters, remember that it truly is the thought that counts (really!). It doesn’t matter if your message is reminiscent of famous letters written by poets or if you prefer to write and send your love letters online; what matters is that you have taken time out of your day to tell someone they are special to you.

2. Find a Balance

The best love letters are both a little sweet and a little salty. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable by writing something heartfelt, and don’t shy away from a silly inside joke. This simple combination will help you write a love letter that will prompt a smile, laugh, or happy tear.

3. Sign it with love

Once you have finished writing your message and it’s time to sign it, don’t forget to sign it with love. If you are sending love letters long distance, a simple “I can’t wait to see you soon” reminds your special someone that you miss them. When in doubt, “I love you so much” never seems to go out of style.

The most important part of a love letter is the part when you actually send it. So send it! Life is short and taking the time to communicate your love for someone is always the right move.
