How to Write a Romantic Valentine

Love is in the air (and everywhere else) when you follow these tips for creating a romantic and personalized Valentine's Day greeting.

Instructions

STEP 1: Meditate upon the subject of your valentine. Make a list of your sweetheart's unique attributes, and focus on them in your note.

STEP 2: Choose a writing

STEP 3: Choose words that are positive, complimentary, romantic and deeply personal. Now is not the time to be shy.

STEP 4: Suggest a romantic interlude, or reminisce about a past encounter with your valentine. You can be discreet and seductive by weaving meaning into your words and asking your valentine to read between the lines.

STEP 5: Compare your valentine to a phenomenon that you find almost as stunning as him or her: a sunset, a rose, a waterfall.

STEP 6: Write with scented and colored pens


Tips & Warnings

The method of delivery can be as romantic as the card itself. Place your love note under a pillow or tucked between items on a breakfast-in-bed tray.
