The best idea is to write a letter that sounds like fairytale. Begin with the typical, "once upon a time…" and write the incidents that are memorable. Make a fantasy tale out of these sweet memories of yours and place it in a location where you are sure your beloved will find it. Do not forget to spray her favorite perfume on it.


  • Another idea is to write the story of a movie that is a favorite of both of you. Instead of the actors, write your and your beloved's name.
  • Close your eyes. Take deep breaths. Visualize your beloved. The first time you met. The first time you hung out together. The first time he/she held you close. The first time he/she cried in front of you. Now relax. Write down what you feel about him/her after being close for a good amount of time. This love letter is emotional, heartfelt and most importantly, genuine.
  • You can write a love letter based on your lover's prime interests. Is he a techie guy? Is she into fine arts? Write accordingly. You can even give nicknames associated with that interest. If the guy is into sports say basketball, he wouldn't mind being called Michael Jordan! Similarly if the girl is a die-hard dancing fanatic, you can name her Shakira! Write what is it that attracts you to him/her. The way he gives a stolen glance even during the most nail biting slam-dunk during his favorite game or the way she winks at you while practicing her moves.
  • If you still cant write one and have problems expressing your love on paper, no problems. You can always give an audio love letter. Record your voice and make it sound as though you are drunk on love. It may sound a bit exaggerated, but this is how true feelings come out. Give soft background music. You can do it yourself or get help from professionals or friends who know about sound mixing.
  • Humor breaks all barriers. Believe it or not, the same can be applied to love. Yes, write a humorous love letter. But remember, there is a difference between sarcasm and humor. Keep that in mind and you can definitely write a funny love letter.
  • Write a love letter that looks like a things-to-do list. Begin with a sentence like "10 reasons why I love you" and write down your reasons in points. Don't forget to make small hearts in the corners just to make it look a bit different from a real things-to-do list! Stick it on the fridge or some place where your beloved is sure to find it.
  • Write some of the mushiest dialogues from famous movies. The movies may be classics (Casablanca, Gone with the Wind) and the more modern ones (Jerry Maguire).
  • Write a famous love song and dedicate it to your beloved. You can find lyrics of some romantic songs in our section of romantic songs, or you can write his/her favorite song.
  • Last and the most important. Do not email or sms your love letter. It is the most emotionless thing to do. Write it in your handwriting on a perfumed sheet of paper. Use your creativity to make it look nice and romantic. Your beloved will love you even more for this.
