EASIER SAID THAN DONE!

I know sweetie, hence these writing guides.

Writing is a skill after all, perhaps an art even. If done right, written words can evoke emotions that even spoken words cannot.

But it can be daunting nonetheless. Hence, we have prepared these guides for you in order to assist you in whatever it is you want to pen down; love letter, apology letter, congratulatory note etc.

REMEMBER THOUGH!

Nothing beats genuine words spoken from the heart. Therefore we highly recommend that you speak from the heart instead of following a certain format. The aim, after all, is to deepen the connection, so anything shallow, copied, ingenuine is strictly not allowed.

Like the name suggests, these guides are just a mere guidance nothing more. To encourage straight-from -the- heart messages we've kept these guides as concise and brief as possible.

THE ART OF WRITING A

In an age dominated by digital communication, the simplicity and sincerity of a handwritten letter can carry a profound emotional weight.

Whether it's a long time crush, or your husband of 10 years, your sister or bestie- below are 6 key factors that will help you craft a heart throbbing love letter to your person:

1. Understand the Purpose

Before you begin writing, reflect on why you want to write this letter. Is it to confess your feelings, celebrate a relationship milestone, or rekindle a romance? Knowing the purpose will guide your tone and content.

2. Start with a Warm Greeting

Open your letter with a thoughtful and affectionate greeting. This sets a loving tone from the start. You might use:

  • "My Dearest [Name],"

  • "To my beloved [Name],"

  • "Sweetheart,"

3. Express Your Feelings

( the 'meat' of the love letter)

Be honest and open about your emotions. Here are some ideas to help you share your feelings:

  • Describe your love: What do you love about them? Mention specific traits, such as their kindness, humor, or how they make you feel.

  • Share personal anecdotes: Recall special memories you've shared together and explain why they are meaningful to you.

  • Communicate how they impact your life: Describe how being with them has changed you or your perspective.

4. Be Specific and Sincere

Detailing your feelings makes your letter more powerful. Avoid vague statements. Instead of saying "I love being with you," you might say, "I love how your laughter fills a room and how our conversations flow effortlessly."

5. Include a personal touch

Add personal touches, like an inside joke, a shared song, or whatever it is only the two of you resonate with. This makes the letter uniquely yours and emphasizes your bond.

7. Presentation

You know me, I choose handwriting everyday, all day. It adds a personal touch, and using nice stationery can make it feel more special. (Visit the shop page to look for nice love letter template pages) in order to take your love letter to a serious level. I mean, you can tear a page from one of your old notebooks if you want, but a beautifully decorated paper and envelope elevates it to a whole new level.

AND Finally ,What to Avoid...

  • Negativity: By all means possible, avoid any complaints or criticisms. A love letter is not a proper forum for that.

  • Generic Statements: Make it personal—don’t rely on clichés.

  • Overly Dramatic Language: Stay genuine; overly flowery language can feel insincere or forced.

  • Pressure: Don’t put pressure on the recipient to respond in a certain way. Focus on sharing your feelings.
