Valentine's Day Letter

The card aisle has already said everything in the most forgettable way possible. A Valentine's letter works because it does the one thing a bought card structurally cannot: it sounds like you.

You have permission to be sincere on this day specifically. Use it. Say the thing you would normally soften with a joke.

What to say in a valentine's day letter

  • 1What you would miss most about them if they were gone for a month.
  • 2The most attractive thing about them that has nothing to do with how they look.
  • 3A time they were kind to you when you did not deserve it.
  • 4What you want more of this year — together.

One thing to skip: Avoid quoting a famous love poem in place of your own words. Borrow a line if you must, then immediately follow it with something only you could say.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a Valentine's letter?

One honest observation, one memory, one wish for the year ahead. That structure is short enough to finish and specific enough to matter.

Can I send a Valentine's letter anonymously?

Yes. You can write without an account, and a secret admirer letter is one of the few cases where leaving the sender name a mystery genuinely works.
