How to start a love letter\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

We know, starting a love letter can feel a little bit daunting. But if your mind\u2019s gone blank and you\u2019re suffering with a case of writer\u2019s block, the best place to start is at the very beginning. Open with a sweet yet simple greeting like \u2018Dear Darling\u2019 or \u2018To My Love.\u2019 And if you\u2019re wanting to keep it casual and avoid sappiness, start by using their nickname.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got your initial greeting sorted, we\u2019d suggest using your first paragraph to mention why you\u2019re writing the letter. You could explain that you\u2019ve been meaning to express your thoughts for a while now, or that it\u2019s simply because they\u2019re so deserving of one!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Things to write in a love letter\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s time to get down to the nitty-gritty of it. From reminiscing on your favourite memories to writing a paragraph filled with all the things you love about them, the possibilities are endless. And while you know your relationship best, here\u2019s some love letter inspiration to kick things off:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a01. Detail your favourite memory\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

From romantic holidays to those little everyday moments, we love the idea of using one of your favourite memories as the main subject. You\u2019ll need to be specific, picking a moment that really stands out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than saying, \u2018I love our holidays together\u2019, dig deep and describe a specific memorable time (maybe one that had you both in stitches?). Once you\u2019ve written about it in detail, circle things back to your other half\u2014perhaps saying that this is just one of the thousands of instances when you realised you loved them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, instead of focusing on the grander details, pick out one of life\u2019s more mundane moments, letting them know that they make the everyday that little bit brighter (we\u2019re really good at this, we know).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a02. List your favourite things about them\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than crafting a memory-based letter, you could jot down all the things you love about them instead. Again, you\u2019ll need to be detailed with your examples, making sure your letter feels super personal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get specific: how they hum as they make their morning coffee or how they always save you the last slice of pizza. Once you\u2019re all done, you\u2019ll have yourself a clever list that says \u2018I love you\u2019 without even mentioning those little three words. Spare ten minutes to get writing, and you\u2019ll be surprised by how quickly the ideas pile up (hopefully that is, if not, we might have a little problem on our hands).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve got your list, leave it as it is or get to work on popping your ideas into a paragraph. Look at you! A little love letter writing extraordinaire in the making.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to sign off a love letter\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

So, you\u2019ve poured your heart out on the page, and it\u2019s now time to come up with your love letter sign off. You could end with a simple \u2018I love you\u2019, or if you\u2019re looking to jazz things up, here are a few alternative ideas:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
