PS I love you! Hardly the most romantic way to write a love letter to your special person. But it is probably as far as some people go!

Have you seen the romantic comedy movie with Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank yet? The film, PS I Love You, shows a number of different ways romantic love letters can be used to show love. The very first way did not even feature a letter but was sent using a tape recorder and a special cake to celebrate her birthday.

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.

What are you doing to go out of your way to show your special person you love them? Are you prepared to just jot down the words PS I Love You on the end of a short note or email? Or would you like to really make a romantic gesture that will be noticed and remembered? People still keep all their old love letters for years after they received them.

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.

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?

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.

Just to make it special we want to offer a very special prize to the very best romantic love gesture uploaded to YouTube. Don't forget to link it to our LoveLettersCentral.com website and write to let us know how to find it. Make sure your friend knows about as well and let their friends know so they will be envious that no one did it for them.

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.
