one of the best ways to convey exactly how you feel about someone is through written words. finding the perfect way to say what you mean — when it comes to love — can be a challenging task for anyone. so, we’ve gathered some helpful tips. go ahead; spill your heart onto a piece of paper. whether through a one-line sentiment, a poem, or some prose — let them know how you feel!
tips for writing your own love letters
make it personal. writing a love letter is a dying art. so if you’re going to say it — mean it! express your gratitude for the person being in your life.
include any special nicknames that the two of you share.
be specific. what are the things that he/she does to make you starry-eyed? is it the way he gets a little teary at a sad movie? is it the way she can’t wake up without her green tea?
include memories of specific times you spent together. let him/her know what they meant to you and why.
whether you’re sending it by mail or delivering it to them personally, hand-write it. typed letters are sterile. if you’re even thinking about e-mail, then do something creative like designing a personalized “home page” love letter. you can get free templates at colleges.com.
