How to "love letter" your world
1. m o r e l o v e l e t t e r s p r e s e n t s :
THE ART OF
love lettering
the best &
brightest go-to
guide to writing &
leaving love letters
all over your world.
2. Chilly feet already?
Let us guess, you‟ve never written a love letter to
a stranger, right? You‟re choked up on words
already. Your knees are trembling. You are
thinking, “But.. But... I don‟t…”
R E LAX
You are in good, good hands. We court
strangers via love letter on a daily basis
so you are learning from the best. We
promise.
3. What to wear, what to wear…
First things first, you need stationery.
Doll up your letter as if it is going out on a
first date. Skip the lipstick and go for the
lace… the nice pens… the best handwriting
possible.
Your letter is going to meet a stranger today.
It should look stunning for the occasion.
4. Fresh starts.
Some might call this the trickiest part… how, oh
how, do you start writing a love letter to a
stranger?
To a friend,
To whoever finds this letter,
Dear you,
Sometimes it feels more natural to write
5.
6. The belly of your letter.
what kind of message would you script to a
close friend? No need to treat this love letter of
yours any differently just because you don‟t
know who will find it. Write what is on your
heart. Script a note of encouragement. Fill your
letter with affirmations. Thoughts that are
weighing heavy on you lately.
Write the exact message you‟d like to read in a
letter today. Maybe it is a pick-me-up or a kind
reminder that you am enough in this world. Just
write it down.

8. Parting : such sweet sorrow.
It is completely up to you whether
you want to sign your name. Some
of our letter writers leave their first
name, others sign it as “Love, a
friend” and still some like to be left
anonymous.
All that we ask is that you please
(PLEASE.PLEASE.PLEASE) omit your own
9. Find me, if you can.
Write MoreLoveLetters.com
somewhere on your letter or
envelope. Make sure it is legible
so that others can visit the site
when they find the letter, read
the mission and reach out to us
about the letter.
10.
11. Letting go.
Find a place to leave your love letter. This is no
time to be boring, people. Get creative.
Pick a spot where you know someone
will have ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE
but to pick up an absurdly bright pink
envelope or rose-colored piece of
cardstock. The love letters get left
daily in fitting rooms, bathroom sinks,
coat pockets, in favorite books in the
library, tables of coffee shops.
12.
13. Signed, sealed + social.
More than anything, we want to show off your
love letters… Take a few photos of the love
letter you are leaving behind and email them to
Hannah@MoreLoveLetters.com or tweet us
photos to @moreloveletters, along with the
location of the letter dropping.
Feel free to include your comments on leaving
the letter or a typed copy of the letter to be
featured on the site.
14. “It is a surreal feeling, to compose a letter to an
individual that you have no ties to but at the
same time you want the whole wide world for
them. I wished them a bright day. A day full of
laughter. I told them they were unique & special
& really quite smashing. (I might not have used
the word „smashing‟ but I probably will in the
next letter).Really, we are not told enough, in a
genuine noncommercial manner, how brilliant
we are. How intriguing and wonderful we are.
How much we should be commended for
waking up today and deciding to take on the
task of being human. It is not an easy task. It is
not always fun. But it is wildly worth it. Better
that we write all these things down.”
