The modern age is dominated by instant text messages, shadowing the art of writing love letters. So, find someone—or be that someone who takes the time to write their heart out through love letters.
Love letters are timeless treasures, capable of capturing emotions and preserving them for your loved one to cherish forever. Saying “I love you, babe” is the bare minimum and doesn’t express feelings for the love of your life. Express your feelings this Valentine’s by writing a personalized love letter that describes your special moments.
We know staring down at a blank paper may not be exciting when you have so many feelings trapped inside of you that cannot be expressed in words. Don’t worry! We’ve covered you with this step-by-step guide to writing the most romantic love letter.
- Don’t be afraid to get mushy. A love letter isn’t just words; it captures beautiful memories, feelings, and all the special moments you shared.
Start the love letter with a cute nickname that describes your sweetheart’s personality. You can start with “Dear munchkin,” “To my love,” or anything personalized like:
“To my radiant diamond, you shine brighter than any gemstone in my life.”
A touch like this immediately adds a romantic connection to the timeless beauty of jewelry.
Jewelry Tip: Why not include a piece of jewelry that echoes your words? Diamonds are a universal symbol of unbreakable love. Gifting a diamond pendant or bracelet alongside your letter can beautifully emphasize how precious your partner is to you.
- Begin recalling your most cherished memories together, like your very first date.
For example:
“As I sit down to write this letter, I can’t help but think of the first time we met. Your laughter filled the room, and I knew my life would never be the same at that moment.”
Everyone loves a person who remembers little details about them. Make sure to mention this in the letter. For example, you could write, ‘The pink top you wore that day made you look like a princess who stole my heart away.’
- Take the time to express what makes you love them—their smile, how they treat you, how they make you feel special, and how they make you think. Mention your special moments together and also include the funny ones. This is not a time to hold back your feelings—be romantic with a capital ‘R.’
For instance:
“Your love is like a string of pure, elegant, timeless pearls. As pearls take years to form their beauty, our love has become extraordinary over time.”
Jewelry Insight: Pearls symbolize purity and sincerity, making them a perfect Valentine’s gift. Consider gifting a pearl necklace or earrings to reflect your deep and genuine love.
- Add humor and playfulness to the letter. You don’t necessarily have to take a love letter too seriously; funny memories or a lighthearted moment can make the letter even better.
For example,
“I will never forget how you once burned dinner; however, every bite was very delicious because it was made full of love.” A dash of humor shows shared moments of joy while balancing the mushiness of the letter.
- While your words are a beautiful gift, combining them with jewelry creates a lasting impression. Each type of jewelry carries its symbolism:
- Diamonds represent eternal love and strength. A diamond pendant or bracelet can echo the unbreakable bond you share.
- Pearls symbolize purity, making them a heartfelt gift for your partner who brings sincerity into your life.
Gold represents wealth and warmth, perfect for expressing gratitude for the richness your partner brings into your life.
For example, if you want to express how your partner has been a constant source of strength, you might write,
“Here’s a diamond bracelet that symbolizes our unbreakable bond. Just like a diamond, our love is strong, resilient, and dazzling in every way.”
- After pouring your heart out, conclude the letter with a heartfelt statement. Reaffirm your love and express your excitement for the future.
For example:
“You are my always and forever, and I can’t wait to create a lifetime of memories with you. I love you, my gem.”
Seal your love letter with a kiss—literally! For a sensory touch that makes it even more memorable, spritz it with a hint of your cologne or perfume.
