Love Notes: The Perfect Presentation


Ideas on how to create unique love letters and notes along with special ways to present them to your love.

*No ordinary paper*
  • Antiqued paper can be made by presoaking your letter paper in coffee.
  • Scented paper made with your perfume, cologne, or fruity sprays.
  • On hearts, big ones on a giant card or little ones on a mobile or made to look like conversation candies.
  • Post-Its are quick and easy priceless little reminders.
  • Paper roses, cut out paper petals, write sweet nothings on them and them push a pipe cleaner through the middle as a stem and arrange the petals.
  • Tissue paper love notes are time consuming, but sweet surprises. A couple of words written on the corner of tissues and then folded back into the box.
  • Use candy to make sweet and silly poetry. Replace words like "Starburst," "Sugar Daddy," and "Whatchamacalit" in your poem with the actual candies.
  • Dry erase markers work great on any glassy surface for drawings and notes. On the bedding, if you dare, surprise your lover with love notes on the giant canvas of your bed.
*Multi-Media*
  • Text messaging is a virtually effortless way to bring a smile to your love's face anytime, anywhere.
  • PowerPoint is a brilliant way to express your love. Set up a picture slide show and add your voice, animation, and love notes to sweep them off their feet.
  • Writable media allows you to record yourself reading your love letter over music, video, or pictures.
  • Email your love and while thinking ahead, print and save some of your favorite emails to build another sentimental gift!
  • Computer Love -- Set your love's computer to have a personalized screen saver or customized desktop.
*Package your letter*
  • Memory boxes can hold your letters, notes, and be used to collect memorabilia of your moments together.
  • Scrapbook making allows you to write love notes as captions to pictures, anecdotes to memorabilia, and use words as décor to your pages.
  • Message in a bottle -- Roll your letter up like a scroll and put it in a jar with a cork. You could also add in bits of confetti or glitter, or themed items like sand and shells.
  • Balloons can also hold rolled up messages and any other small items you can fit through the opening before inflation.
*Surprise Deliveries*
  • In their lunch is a great place to hide a love note, word of encouragement, or even apology!
  • On the pillow is the perfect place to say "good morning," "I love you," or "you light up my life."
  • In their breakfast is a great way to start the day. Surprise them with a love note in their box of cereal or pasted to the side of the orange juice.
  • On the mirror, you can write with dry erase markers or stick a note to let your love know you are thinking of them.
  • Stuck anywhere, love notes are great on the refrigerator, in his shoe, in her make-up case, anywhere and everywhere.
  • In the bath, you can hide a message in a bottle, personalized soaps, or for the child in them, notes on rubber duckies or boats.
  • On their car, you can leave love letters and notes on paper, written with soap or dry erase markers, or fill their car with love note balloons.
  • Glow-in-the-dark pens or chalks can be used on the mirror, bedding, or ceiling if you dare, so that when your love drifts to sleep, you will be on their mind.
