Creative Ways to Deliver Your Letter

Writing the letter is only half the fun; delivering it is where you can really make a memory. Instead of just handing over an envelope, try one of these unique delivery methods to surprise your partner:

• The Scavenger Hunt: Leave a note on the coffee pot that leads to the bathroom mirror, which leads to the fridge, and finally to your letter hidden under their pillow.
• The “Post” Mail: Even if you live together, mail the letter a few days early so it arrives with the regular bills. It’s a wonderful surprise to find love among the junk mail.
• The Book Mark: If your partner is a reader, slip the letter inside the book they are currently reading.
• The Lunchbox Surprise: Hide the note in their lunch bag or laptop case so they find it during their workday.
• The Steering Wheel: Tape the envelope to the steering wheel of their car so it’s the first thing they see when they leave the house.
• The Balloon Pop: Put the note inside a balloon, inflate it, and write “Pop Me” on the outside. Or better, put one balloon on a DIY balloon arch and make it part scavenger hunt / part balloon pop.

There are so many approaches to writing the perfect Valentine’s Day card or love letter. In the end, it’s a deeply personal expression of your love for your special someone.
