“Love is in the air”… That means Love Letters are in the Air!
Jewelry, chocolate and candy are Valentine staples for your honey. -Perhaps a stuffed animal, too. But, they aren’t complete without a romantic card that exclaims your profound, undying love! Fortunately there are many written ways you can express your love and you can break the boundaries of cliché Valentine cards. (Not that there is anything wrong with the classic card).
The most important part of a gift, card or letter on this particular holiday is the genuineness of it. Printing a sweet, tailored card is wonderful by itself. Being original and different on the delivery is just an easy way to gain some bonus brownie points.
One creative form of a love letter is to create a love note puzzle by gluing a love letter to a thin piece of cardboard and cutting it out into individual puzzle pieces, according to the Reader’s Digest article, “40+ Creative Romantic Ideas.” Mail your special someone the puzzle to put together or create suspense by mailing one piece at a time.
A second creative way is to print a custom certificate, award or ribbon for your significant other. Congratulate your wife for things such as being “The Best Wife Ever” and gal for “Best Kisser.” Acknowledge your man’s patience and understanding when you’re cranky sometimes.
Since a love letter is not something you write and send all the time, you may consider nixing the plain paper in favor of decorative stationary or paper in that person’s favorite color. Don’t forget to buy an envelope, too. Ladies, sealing the envelope with a kiss in your favorite lipstick is a great finishing touch (S.W.A.K.).
Writing these letters and cards by hand is the most personal way. If you must type it, choose a romantic font. Nobody wants a love letter in Comic Sans or boring New Times Roman.
Keep in mind that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for you lovers. Tell other special people in your life how much you love them. Do you have a younger sister who adores you? An older brother that always watches your back? A best friend who knows everything about you? The best mom and/or dad ever? Send them your love.
