Do you have to be Shakespeare to write perfectly? Certainly not! Here are some tips and tricks to get you started composing your very own letters. Once you get the hang of it, your sweetie will be wrapped around your finger!
THE PREPARATION
First, be mindful of presentation. Use some beautiful stationary such as a neutral, soft color, and use a simple dark (black) ink. Psychologically, this lends a sense of importance to the document.
Create ambiance: Go to a secluded place and put on some soft, romantic music. A quiet room would be nice. Dim the lights. Get in a romantic mood.
Keep in mind that this letter is intended as a keepsake, so be sure to date your letter with the month, day, and year. Above all, this is a letter that will be kept and remembered.
THE INTRODUCTION
Beginning and Introduction: Choose a greeting, usually an endearing salutation. Don’t be formal, use your love’s first name. Start your letter by telling your beloved your reasons for writing.
THE BODY
Body: The body of the love letter contains reasons for your love, such as recalling when you fell for your sweetie, how your life changed for the better when you met them, how you miss your sweetie when you are apart, how you can’t imagine life without them, list things you have in common, how he or she makes you feel, recall special moments you've shared together, mention times you've noticed your sweetie from afar, and list all the positive qualities that separate your love from everyone else.
Avoid being erotically explicit or glib. Above all, a love letter is a letter of respect that coveys deep, difficult-to-express feelings. Don’t discount the impact of poetry in place of or in addition to your words. You can use borrowed lines or do your best. Does your honey have a favorite author or poet? Reference them!
THE CONCLUSION
An effective closing: End on a positive note with a memorable phrase. Hit 'em with your best shot and leave 'em wanting more! Don't use simple endings such as "Love, Michael" - spice it up a little.
Extras: You can include nice touches by gluing on flower petals, glitter, star stickers, etc.
The most important tip, however, is this: There are no rules. Be creative. After all, you know your sweetie best. You're only limited by your own imagination! Good luck, and share with us your best methods and examples!
