Gerald Swank and Gerard Butler star in the new movie PS I Love You which suggest a number of different ways that you can express your love and it just shows that love letters don't need to be written on paper either! Have you ever thought of making a celebration cake and sending it with a message on a tape recorder?



Think about how many love letters carefully written on parchment with pen and ink still exist today many centuries later. That love letter was treasured by the recipient (and people today are still hanging on those written letters as keepsakes sometimes long after the loving relationship has gone). If you have visited my website LoveLettersCentral.com you will see love letters written by just some of the people who spent hours writing long and romantic expressions of love in letters with a very basic pen dipped in a bottle of ink. Nowadays it is often just pressing a few keys on the computer or mobile cell phone. Although we do encourage our people to write their letters of love using pen and paper if possible as they tend to mean more to the recipient.

Which romantic gesture would you think would make the biggest impression on your loved one? The words PS I Love You, a box of chocolates and flowers or a full blown romantic love letter which would be likely treasured for many years long after the chocolates were eaten and the flowers dead? I know which I would prefer to receive.

The LoveLettersCentral.com website has around 125 romantic letters of various lengths some very short others much longer. They are designed where possible to enable visitors to understand the background of why the letter was written and to whom.

Did you know that one of my readers took a love letter straight off the site rewrote parts of it to include the color of her boyfriend's eyes, his warm cuddly and muscular arms etc and then wrote it out with one sentence on each of 10 sheets of paper. She then put them into separate envelopes with dates on them and handed them to her husband just as he was about to leave on a 10 day business trip with instructions to open each envelope only on the day marked on the outside. You can guess how much pleasure her husband had in getting that love letter each day and piecing it all together just before travelling back home to her.

I suspect that just building up her love letter each day he was away that he might have been in a bit of a rush to get home to her particularly if she made the last couple of them just a bit more passionate and explicit then the beginning of the week.

Can you think of any other way you can use a love letter? It need not be written down it could be taped (audio or video) but it should be expressing deep loving romantic feelings from you to someone else. I will set up a special prize for the person who sends me the most novel, the most interesting and/or the most romantic way of saying I love you.

There will be an extra special prize for the person who puts up the best romantic love letter on YouTube with a link back to our LoveLettersCentral.com website. When you have uploaded it write and give us the link so we can see it. Make sure you let your loved one know as well as all of his or her friends!

We obviously want to use the very best entries received on our website and by entering you show you are giving permission to do so.
