Have you seen "PS I Love You" yet?
PS I love you! Probably the most common words found in letters between lovers whether married or not. However, I would not say that qualified the letter to be a romantic love letter, would you?
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?
Looking back over the centuries we know huge numbers of people have spent their time carefully crafting letters of love to their special partner. Have a look at my website LoveLettersCentral.com and see over 125 lovingly romantic letters written by famous and not so famous people. If you consider that letters only a few years would have needed to be written using a quill or feather dipped in ink to scratch the words on to parchment paper. Mistakes would have had to be carefully erased or starting the whole letter all over again. Nowadays we are more likely just to press the delete button on the keyboard. Yet huge numbers of those love letters of yesterday still exist today kept by the recipient possibly tied up in ribbon and carefully saved in a box or draw.
Are you doing something spectacular to show your loved one that you want them? Or is writing that simple phrase PS I Love You as an afterthought at the end of a letter or love note enough for you? Would you like to know how to make the most of your romantic thoughts to really impress your loved one and know they will treasure it?
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.
For example one visitor to the website took one short letter splitting it into 12 parts and rewrote them to reflect her husband's appearance e.g. his height, the shade and style of his hair, his smile etc. Each part was then placed in consecutively dated envelopes, one for each day of his forthcoming business trip and sealed with a bright red lipstick kiss. His instructions were to look through them each morning and open the appropriately dated one. Over the ten days he would have been building a romantic loving letter from his wife telling him how much she thought of him building up to the final day when he would be returning home to her.
Can you imagine his thoughts about her all the time away from her but with these strongly worded letters of passion being opened each day he was away. Do you think he would have been in more of a hurry to get home to her?

The concept of setting up this competition for the most romantic love letter sent in a unusual or novel way was inspired while watching the romantic comedy film PS I Love You. Carol Thornton who designed and pulled together a large collection of romantic love letters for the LoveLettersCentral.com website had been told by so many visitors "I wish I could get my boyfriend to do something really romantic for me" so thought why not pull together all the ideas into one place to help inspire them.
