LOVE IS IN THE AIR

And, hopefully, on paper. Dozens of the finest roses and boxes of the most decadent chocolate can’t top a beautifully crafted love letter. 

Here’s how to create an loving note that’ll capture her heart forever.....

Be Sincere
It may seem obvious, but don’t write a love letter unless you’re, oh, in love. If you’re not in that point in your relationship yet, don’t force it!

Keats, Wordsworth, Shakespeare.   Poetry of the amorous kind should be left for the experts.   Unless you’re intentionally attempting to be cheeky, there’s no need to struggle with finding a word that rhymes with “mon cheri.”


A love letter shouldn’t read like a chapter in a romance novel. There is a time and a place for content rated for Mature Audiences, but Valentine's Day is about love, not lust. That said, you’re not in junior high school. Hence, a love letter shouldn’t read like a chapter of an adult novel either.
Many a lovely sonnet, movie quote, song lyric and novel has been written about love. But those are their words, not yours. If words from any of the former sources have special meaning to you and your special someone — first date, where you met, etc. — then by all means, incorporate them into your love letter in a subtle way. But if they’re just words you happened to have found while searching love quotes on the Internet, skip them and include something straight from the heart instead.

If you’re writing a love letter, you’ve hopefully made many cherished memories together. A love letter should be a reminder as to why you love the recipient so. You don’t have to recount your entire first date, but rather the smaller moments - the way he opens the car door for you or the way she laughs with silliness during movies.


So, you’ve taken the time to craft the perfect love letter, NOW don't skimp on the paper and presentation. Make it a note she’ll want to tuck in her drawer and keep forever.

If a full blown love letter is just too much for you, than consider a valentine's day card from our selection such as Elum and Sugar Paper!
