Steps
How to Write a Love Letter to Your Girlfriend
-
1Start with a personal salutation like “my darling” or “my love.” Open the letter with a simple greeting to your wife or girlfriend—and don’t be afraid to get mushy! Use a classic term of endearment like “To my love,” “Dear ____,” or “Baby.” You can also use a personal nickname that you have for your partner to make your letter cuter and more personal. Here are some other example openings for a love letter: [25] X Research source
- My love,
- Hi, babe
- Hi, baby
- My darling,
- My dearest,
- To my forever,
- Dear sunshine,
- My sweetheart,
- Hello, gorgeous,
- To my everything,
-
2Tell your girlfriend why you’re writing her a letter . After your salutation, let your girlfriend know why you decided to sit down and write her a letter. Maybe you’re writing a letter for a special occasion, like Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or an anniversary. Or, maybe you just feel so full of love and emotion that you need to put it down into words—that’s a very swoon worthy reason to write your girlfriend a romantic letter! Whatever your reason, jot down a sentence that describes your reasoning for writing your heartfelt letter. [26] X Research source

3Write about special memories together or things you love about her. For the main content of your letter, Beck recommends “writing what you love about your partner, like all the reasons why you love them…You want to describe the qualities that make them special to you and the qualities that actually touch your heart about them. You can name quirky, cute things about them. There can be tender things about them,” and you could even title the letter as “ reasons why I love you .”
- Alternatively, continues Beck, “you can share one of your favorite memories with them. Or maybe a simple moment that really touched your heart but that you never told them about.”
- Ultimately, just be sure to “tell them what they mean to you,” advises Beck. “Write about how their love has changed your life for the better. That’s a great love letter, saying that their love has altered your existence, you can’t live without them, things you appreciate about them.”
-
4Be authentic and personalize your letter to your girlfriend. While it’s more than okay to get inspiration from example love letters you read online, be sure to customize at least a few parts of your letter to really fit your girlfriend and your relationship together. Write your genuine feelings in your natural voice (your gf will be able to tell the difference!), rather than trying to use fancy academic words or academic language that doesn’t come naturally to you. Then, be sure to add in at least a couple of private jokes, specific memories, and other inside bits of knowledge that will make your letter feel extra special and personal.
-
5Involve multiple senses for a more dynamic and engaging letter. You can easily heighten your girlfriend’s experience of reading your words by going beyond the pen and paper—that’s right, we’re talking a three- (or four!) dimensional love letter. Lightly apply her favorite scent in the form of a perfume or essential oil to the paper. Add a tactile element she can hold, like a pressed version of her favorite flower, a small memento of your relationship, or a printed photo of the two of you.
- While the letter is already visual, you can still elevate the visual presentation by using beautiful stationery , writing in a legible script, or adding stickers and other decorative elements to show the effort you’re putting into this romantic gesture.
-
6End with a romantic closing like “I love you” or “Yours always.” Finish with a closing that sums up the feelings expressed throughout your letter. You could go with a classic option like “Forever and always,” “Eternally yours,” “Yours always,” “With all my love,” or “Thinking of you always.” McCurley also recommends some specific love letter closings , including:
- You are always in my heart.
- I love you now and forever.
- I am yours forever.
