Our useful tips for writing love letters will help you make a good impression on your loved one. There is hardly anything more romantic than a love letter.

The classic love letter

The love letter is a bit outdated and still a beautiful and romantic gift idea. Once you have found the courage to write a love letter, you face the problem: Which words are the right ones? How can you express yourself so that the letter arrives well? There are a few tips to keep in mind:

1) Stay authentic

A tip not to be underestimated: be yourself! A love letter that does not suit the writer does not go down well. A figurative and Romanesque word choice is beautiful and fits in a love letter – if it suits you. With a more matter-of-fact type, flowery words are out of place and would ridicule the letter or make it unbelievable. Write as you speak in everyday life.

2) A love letter is individual

A love letter is written for a specific person and in a specific situation. You want to make the recipient happy and express your feelings. Therefore, do not copy phrases from other love letters! Don’t use old-fashioned phrases like “I always dream of you.” This makes a letter seem impersonal and cliche.

Instead, think about what you love and value about the person, what you’re grateful for, or what you find attractive about them. This makes your letter unique and the recipient can identify with it.

3) Think before you write

This tip for writing love letters also seems to be self-evident. However, in the rush of emotion, there are times when you start writing without thinking about the message first. The recipient also notices this.

Therefore, take your time to think about what you want to say to the recipient. Do you want to win back your lost love or inspire a long relationship? Or is it, for example, about the first confession of your love, or do you want to say thank you for a wonderful time with your partner? Once you’ve got the message clear, think about what you want to do with the content of the letter. Do you want to address specific situations, events that brought you together, and shared memories? Would you like to express your hope for the future together? Both can also be combined in a meaningful way. It is important that you know the content of the love letter before you start writing it.

4) See the relationship from the recipient’s point of view

When you write a love letter, you want the recipient to feel spoken to and flattered. Therefore, before writing, you should put yourself in the shoes of this person. What wishes does she have for the relationship or for you? What is her view of the relationship in general? You can incorporate the insights you gain from this into the letter.

5) Appearance matters

When it comes to a love letter, it’s not just the message that’s important, but how you deliver it. In times of SMS and Co, this tip is particularly important. Your letter should be something special, for someone special to you!

A love letter should be handwritten and legible. This gives the whole thing a personal touch and shows that you took the time for the letter and thus for the person. You should also use nice stationary and an envelope. A high-quality paper signals appreciation. A simple computer printout, on the other hand, is not well received.

6) Get inspired

The fact that the love letter should be individual and tailored to the recipient does not mean that you should not get any suggestions. Inspiration is everywhere: in poetry, in music, in scents. Sources of inspiration put you in the right mood to write the love letter. You can also start with a short quote if that’s appropriate for you and the recipient. Thus, a love letter can be a great idea and the basis for long-term relationships.

We have the best recipes and tricks on how to make secret ink. We will also show you how you can make secret writing visible. With these tips, you can compete with Sherlock Holmes!

There are different forms of secret ink that you can easily make yourself. Here we would like to show you two natural formulas with simple home remedies such as lemons, onions, and milk. We also have a chemical version of making secret ink ready for you.

A popular game among children

With a look at Room Escapes, the Sherlock Holmes series, and the boom in detective games on the German board game market, it becomes clear that the age of detective joy among children and adults is far from over. A detective or secret agent party is also ideal for a theme party for children’s birthday parties. Then how cool would it be to write the invitation with a cipher as the first puzzle? You can easily do it yourself with home remedies. As? We’ll show you here.

1) Lemon or onion juice as a secret ink

You can write invisibly with lemon juice or onion juice. You can make the onion juice secret ink by peeling and grating the onion and then squeezing it through a cloth. The text and the secret writing become visible again when the paper is heated. This can be done either by ironing with a warm, not hot iron, by holding the paper to a light bulb or by placing it on the heater, by blow-drying it briefly, or by holding it briefly over a tealight. However, children should never do this unsupervised.

2) milk for cryptography

A second option is to use milk as a secret ink. You can easily take standard cow’s milk and apply it with a brush or a wooden skewer. The invisible milky writing becomes visible through the application of cigarette ash or the powdered graphite of a pencil from a pencil sharpener.

3) Make Nitrate of Cobalt Oxide for Secret Ink

Chemically you can get nitrate of cobalt oxide in the pharmacy, which you can dissolve in water to get an invisible secret ink. When heated, this secret ink appears red and when it cools down, the writing automatically becomes invisible again. In principle, the production of this secret ink works in a similar way to the home remedies lemon or onion juice.
