Does the idea of expressing your love to someone leave you speechless and nervous? Do you get tongue-tied whenever you are about to tell the love of your life how you really feel? If so, you might want to consider writing a love letter.
Love letters allow you to express your romantic feelings toward someone effectively. It is how you tell a person that you care for her and love her, and that you appreciate her presence in your life, using words that would fill her heart with warmth and joy. It is how you can say things that you are afraid to speak.
Whether the love letter will be a love confession expressed for the first time, a present for a special occasion, or if you simply want to make a sweet gesture out of the blue, learning about ways on how to make it extra special will greatly benefit you.
Here are some ways to give your love letter an extra boost.
Personalize your love letter
Add a touch of YOU to the letter. Make her miss you and think about you more whenever she reads your letter. Spray a bit of perfume onto the paper. Whenever she thinks of you and you are far away, she'll smell it and be engulfed in the precious moments you two have shared.
Add the element of surprise
Hide your love letter somewhere that is involved in her day-to-day activities. You can place it on her desk, inside her bag, under her pillow, on the bedside table, in her closet, or even inside the fridge, wrapped in a Ziploc bag! The crazier the location is, the more surprised she will be.
Daily mail
Write her letters every day, especially if you're in a long-distance relationship. Since you can't do much when you are miles apart, go the extra mile by sending her romantic letters daily. Write a letter every night and send them in the morning. It takes only little effort, but it goes a long way. She will surely appreciate this sweet gesture.
Use your voice
Speaking of long distance, you can make her feel the warmth of your presence by sending her an audio letter. Say your piece and record it in a CD. Mail it to her and she can listen to it whenever she misses you.
However, this option is not limited to those who are in long-distance relationships. You can still do this even if you live next door, or if you live together. It's the though that counts.
Get inspiration from love songs
A great way to put a smile on your partner's face, and maybe a few giggles too, is to include lyrics of songs into your letter. This way, whenever she hears these songs, she'll be reminded of you.
You can also use lyrics of songs that have deep meaning to the both of you, like the song that was being played when you first met, or the song you danced to on your anniversary. Be creative!
Ditch the paper
Yes, you can write a love letter without the use of paper! How? Well, you can surprise her with a sweet note written on the bathroom mirror using a temporary marker. You can order her favorite pizza and tell the baker to write a sweet note on top using ketchup. You can even give her a mixtape that contains all the songs that relate to your relationship or how you feel about her. There are so many possibilities!
Let's bring back love letters. They shouldn't just be things of the past because love letters are definitely more romantic than text messages with a bunch of emojis. So, begin writing love letters from the heart and let your feelings flow through.
It does not have to be perfectly written, however. If you are able to get the right message across, that's already good enough. Don't dwell on whether she'll like it or not. Someone would be crazy to not like the idea of receiving a love letter!
