Many people think they can't write love letters, that they suck at poetry, that they're not Shakespeare....but writing love notes is actually really easy...and fun! It takes some imagination and feeling, but once you have a winning formula, you just apply it over and over again.
Here are some romantic tips:
1. Use those Post-It notes from 3M, they're great! And you can draw stick figures and smilies on them. Use them to say stuff like...""I miss you so much, hurry back", or "I feel so sad when you're not around.
" See, easy, isn't it? Just one or two lines, you don't have to write a whole sonnet!
2. Food, this is the fun part! If you have time, go to the supermarket and buy some cake icing, the type that comes in a tube with the spout so you can write words with. Buy some large cookies, and draw little hearts on them. Total time will be less than half an hour, and you can pick up the cookies and icing next time you're shopping. Now, put the cookies in a nice tupperware and you can both share these "love" cookies together!
3. Use some whiteboard markers, get then in a variety of colours, and you can make your own balloon notes with them! Blow up some balloons and write words like Love, Honey, Hugs, and whatever else you want to write on them. To make it more fun, you can put small candy bars in some of the balloons and then scatter the balloons all over her house.
4. I saw this in a movie the other day, and I thought it was a great idea! Draw little faces on eggs in the fridge with a marker. Or to expand on that idea, you can spell out the words I Love You on the eggs, so every morning, she'll remember it!
5. You know those old Christmas cards that have been piling up the past few years? Put them to use! Cut out the relevant pictures, get some wire and thread and you can make a mobile to hang from the ceiling with. Of course, behind every picture you would scribble something romantic so she'll keep it!
6. Get an old beer bottle or soft drink bottle. Write a short love note on a nice piece of paper. Something like, "Without you, I would be a lonely island. I Love you" Then use a lighter and burn the edges of the paper so it looks like an old parchement. Roll it up and tie it with a ribbon, or at least a rubber band. Get a needle and poke some thread through the paper, insert the paper into the bottle with the string hanging out, so she can pull the paper out. Viola, your letter in a bottle is ready! Just for fun, try putting it into the fridge and see when she notices it!
I've given you a head start on getting your imagination going, the sky is the limit when it comes to expressing your love! If you have any ideas that have worked in the past, so let us know by writing in to us!
