Sweep Her Off Her Feet With These 19 Love Letter Examples For Your Girlfriend

So, you want to write your girlfriend a love letter.

Bravo to you!

She’s going to love it.

What woman doesn’t want to read words of love from her favorite guy?

But finding the perfect phrase or word to describe our feelings can prove elusive. 

Words often fail when tasked with expressing gratitude, happiness, or unending love. 

How can four or five little letters convey a heart's message?

But simple words can recreate the magic of love with a little effort. 

A love letter becomes a thoughtful expression that can be silly, sappy, or deeply romantic. 

Fortunately, there is no right or wrong way to say, “I love you.”

What Should I Write in a Love Letter to My Girlfriend? 

A love letter is a record of your love. It's also a living history of your time together.

Many view a love letter as the perfect opportunity to remind your girlfriend how and when you first met and fell in love.

And it’s an ideal time to remind you both why you are still together.

Love letters are tangible proof of your deepest feelings.

They can be written anytime from a short note, before a trip, holiday weekend, or on a special family occasion.

One of the most romantic things about a love letter is that it can be read repeatedly and carried throughout a lifetime.

Some of the best times to write a love letter to your girlfriend include:

  • A birthday or anniversary
  • A special holiday
  • A wedding day – yours or a child's
  • A child's birth
  • A career milestone
  • No reason at all – just to surprise her!

How to Write a Love Letter to Your Girlfriend

Even the best writers may have trouble writing a love letter because these emotion-laden missives are so personal.

You are not writing your memoirs, but remember this special letter must also be authentic. 

Be honest and speak from your heart. List each of the cheesy things that make her irreplaceable in your life. Be honest because she'll know if the words aren't yours.

If you still need help with this monumental task, here are some basics to get you started.

1. Be specific.

A great love letter is detailed. Instead of a list of traits or bullet points, choose one or two of her qualities. Tell her about her smile and how it brightens your day, or mention her thoughtfulness. Once focused, the words should flow. 

2. Get personal.

While there is no doubt Lord Byron and William Shakespeare cornered the market on great love poems and sonnets, writing a captivating love letter is more about being personal than flowery language. 

For inspiration, think about when you met, the first time in a rain storm, or your first time apart. Sometimes, it's the simplest truths that are the most romantic.

3. Remember the details.

Don't hold back when writing a love letter to your girlfriend. The more specific, the more romantic. Give examples. It lets her know you were in the moment and still remember the little things. 

For example, instead of listing her sense of humor, remind her of the time she told a joke that made you fall off your chair laughing. 

4. Embrace listicles.

Another way to write a short love letter is a listicle. Send a note that lists the top “10 things she does on the weekends to make you laugh.” Or the “5 things I love about you.” 

These are quick and quirky ways to let her know you are in her thoughts. While not just bullet points, this is a great way to have fun without being overly mushy.

5. Write what you know.

Successful writers write about what they know. And when penning a love letter to this remarkable woman, you are the expert.

So give yourself a break and just let her know how you feel. She will love the effort and that you gave it your all.
