Other Creative Ways to Say “I Love You”
Haven’t found the perfect way to seal the deal? Try these creative ways to say “I love you” that go above and beyond!
Leave hide-and-seek love letters.
Write little love notes to your mate and leave them in unexpected places where they will eventually be found, such as in a sock drawer, a packed lunch or even in the freezer. That way, they will regularly be surprised by your thoughtfulness.
Unleash your inner DJ.
Creating a romantic “mixtape” of meaningful love songs used to be a popular romantic gesture. Nowadays, you can do the same by creating iTunes or Spotify playlists to express your love through music.
Create a “52 Things I Love About You” booklet.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… If you can come up with at least 52 reasons, and one deck of standard playing cards, you can create a “52 Things I Love About You” booklet. Just write (or paste) a different reason you love your significant other on each card, and then use a hole punch and binder rings to turn the card deck into a booklet. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, it can serve as an ongoing reminder of the reasons you fell in love.
Say it in different languages.
Saying “I love you” is perhaps a little bit too easy. Being able to say it in French (Je t’aime), Finnish (Minä rakastan sinua) or Farsi (Duset daram) shows that you are a real romantic. If you’re not sure about pronunciation, you can always write it out and fill your Valentine’s Day card with declarations of love from around the world. Language site Omniglot has “I love you” spelled out in over 200 languages, from Afrikaans to Zulu. And if every spoken language on earth is not enough to proclaim your love, Geekosystem has it in Klingon, Na’vi and even binary code.
Valentine’s fortune cookies.
You can create some real magic this Valentine’s Day by putting a personalized message of love inside a closed and sealed fortune cookie—without breaking the cookie or the seal. How, Houdini? By using a little steam to open the cookie and a little ironing to reseal the plastic packaging.
A message in a bottle.
“Before I met you, I was lost and alone, drifting aimlessly through life…” If you want to show how grateful you are for finally finding your one and only, write down your thoughts in a love note and deliver it as a classic message in a bottle. Check your local craft store for an appropriate cork-stopped bottle. Make sure the opening is wide enough for the message to slip through, and tie the scroll with ribbon or string to prevent it from unrolling inside the bottle.
Say it with a Kiss.
Hershey’s Kisses have been a candy staple since 1907 (although the name wasn’t trademarked until 2001 ). Though sweet in their own right, you can turn the chocolate candies into little love notes by customizing the paper ribbons that extend from the top of the foil wrappers. Simply print your own messages onto small strips of paper and use them to replace the “Kisses®” tags. Toss them in a personalized treat jar and you’ve got the perfect gift for a chocolate lover. Or, if you have difficulty unwrapping and re-wrapping the thin aluminum foil, you can just glue your message onto the existing tag.
Say it in a steamy way.
If your bathroom mirror becomes fogged up when you take a shower, write “I love you” or some other personal message on the mirror with your finger. The message will be invisible once the steam has cleared, but will magically reappear when your partner takes a shower.
Write it in the stars.
Another way to hide a magical message in plain sight is to write it on the bedroom ceiling using glow-in-the-dark stickers. Such stickers often come in the shape of stars, which you can arrange as a love-ly constellation. However, you can also buy blank sheets of sticker paper and cut them into whatever shapes or letters you want. White stickers on the ceiling are unlikely to be noticed during daylight hours but will be immediately visible once you are in bed and the lights go out.
Give them a “heart attack.”
That is, attack them with paper hearts. Cover their door with paper hearts or send them a box full of them. The more over-the-top you make it, the more they will know they are loved.
Worship the ground they walk on.
Use sidewalk chalk to leave a message for your love outside the front door, or on any path, you know they will be walking on at some point during the day. Perhaps “I love you so much that I worship the ground you walk on,” or draw a hopscotch court and list something you love about them in each square.
Write it on their ride.
Replace the sidewalk chalk with glass chalk, and you can leave a Valentine message on the windows of your sweetheart’s car. If you think you are too mature or have been together for too long for such a stunt, that’s exactly the point: it will show that you still feel the same way about them and are still excited about your love. For example, you could write that you are “Just married…for 10 years…and love you more each day!”
To reach someone when they least expect it, write a love note on a roll of toilet paper. Unroll a few squares, write your message (very gently, using a felt-tip marker), and then roll it back up. Just make sure it’s a private bathroom so that no one else will inadvertently get the wrong message.
“I love you because…” chalkboard.
For an ongoing opportunity to show your love, consider buying or making a small chalkboard with the words “I love you because…” written across the top. You can then fill in the blank with a reason why you do love the person, and change the message each day (or week, or however often you can come up with different reasons). If you don’t want to make a chalkboard yourself, you can always buy one online.
Conversation heart cheesecakes.
Everyone is familiar with the small heart-shaped candies stamped with short phrases such as “Be Mine” or “Crazy 4U.” You can create your own messages, and have much more space on which to write them, by using cheesecakes instead of candies.
Love puzzles.
Looking for love? Try 17 across. With a free online puzzle maker , you can create a crossword or word search puzzle featuring things important to your relationship, such as the location of your first date or the name of your song. Some word puzzles include hidden or encrypted messages, which allows you to tell someone how you feel—as long as they can crack the code.
Tell the world on social media.
For a less subtle approach, consider making a public proclamation of your love on a social network. Posting on social media is essentially the modern version of shouting it from the mountaintops, and public affirmation carries a lot more weight than something said in private. And perhaps February 14 is the day you make it “Facebook official” and change your relationship status.
Blog about it.
If you like the idea of posting your love online, but have more to say than a tweet or status update allows, consider blogging about it. Post an online love letter, or write out a list of the things you appreciate about him or her. If you don’t have a blog, you can rather easily create one for free through a simple platform such as Blogger or Tumblr.
Say it with roses.
Red roses are the international symbol of love , so you can hardly go wrong giving roses for Valentine’s Day. However, you can also get creative with it by spelling out “I Love You” with rose petals, or arranging long-stemmed roses on the bed to form a giant heart. By presenting such a classic in a new way, you can make an even bigger impact.
Give an award.
If you think that your husband really is the best father in the world, or feel that you lucked out and married a true “trophy wife,” perhaps you should recognize them for it with an actual trophy. If you want something more official-looking, most cities have awards shops that can engrave anything you want onto a real trophy, plaque or medal. You can also print out a custom award certificate for just the cost of paper and ink.
At the bottom of a cereal box.
Ever get one of those little prizes inside a box of cereal as a kid? You can recreate that surprise by placing a love note or a small gift, sealed in a plastic bag, inside an open box of your partner’s favorite cereal.
Coffee art.
You can also say “I love you” by fixing your sweetheart a cup of coffee—and writing “I love you” on the coffee itself.
If you have the talent, nothing is more romantic than writing and performing an original, personal love song. If you don’t have that kind of talent, you can still woo her with a karaoke version of a classic love song. If you completely lack any kind of musical talent and can’t even carry a tune in a bucket, perhaps you should stick to reciting poetry.
Put together a “Book of Love” about your relationship. This is similar to a Baby Book, but instead of listing first words or first steps, it will describe important steps and landmarks in your relationship. Include details of how you first met, the date of your first kiss, and photos or keepsakes from memorable events in your love story. Showing that you remember such details and want to document and save them will prove that your love is the most important thing in your life.
Bacon hearts.
Because nothing says “love” like bacon. In the shape of a heart. What creative ways are you going to say “I love you” this Valentine’s Day?
What are the signs of true love?
First time being in love or aren’t sure if how you feel is true love? Here are some tips to know if your relationship is showing signs of true love.
Happiness – Seeing your special person smile or laugh fills you with happiness. Even if you are having a bad day, their love always lifts your mood and makes you feel better.

120 Cute & Creative Ways To Say 'I Love You'
By Jim & Carrie Gordon — Written on Apr 05, 2022
How strong is your communication with your partner ? Do you find that the two of you text, email, nod at and grunt in reply to each other more than you typically have meaningful conversations with each other?
Admittedly, we all get caught up in our busy day-to-day lives, and often it's our most important communication — expressing our feelings of love for our partners — that pays the biggest price.
Why is finding ways to say "I love you" so important in relationships?
When we forget to say those three little words 'I love you' often enough and with full sincerity, even in the form of a note scrawled with one of the best, most inspiring love quotes you can find, our connection with each other begins to suffer.
The connection in the relationship may start to weaken so slowly that we don't even notice as the distance continues growing.
In his New York Times Bestseller, " The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts ", marriage expert Dr. Gary Chapman urges couples to learn how to express their love for each other in the forms their partner gives and receives love most naturally, be it through physical touch, gifts, acts of service or devotion, quality time, or words of affirmation.
In particular, he stresses one important communication skill related to words of affirmation that all too often gets overlooked in our fast-paced digital society — and that method of connection is the written word.
Think about it ... love letters used to be epic ! They were tied with ribbon, stored in boxes for decades, and passed down through generations.
Don't worry, your expressions of love can be epic, too — whether written love notes, verbal declarations, or through text messages and body language.

Unique Ideas To Say ‘I Love You’
Now that you know what to say, here are a few unique ideas to make that moment memorable for both of you. We have included ideas both for the first time as well as for the many times that come afterward.
- If you are good at baking, then bake your beloved their favorite cake and write the message on it.
- Record your words in a voice message and send it to your sweetheart; they can go back and listen to it as many times as they wish. Isn’t it kind of sweet?
- Customized coffee mugs are the best as you will have the freedom to express your thoughts, make them quirky, funny, romantic, or cheesy, it’s all in your hands.
- If it’s your first time saying ‘I love you,’ then make it special by taking them out to their favorite restaurant, walking hand in hand to a romantic place, looking into your beloved’s eyes and pouring out those special words.
- Write a few love notes and leave them in unexpected places such as their packed lunch, the wardrobe, in their coat pockets, in their wallet or purse. Imagine how thrilled they will be when they open their purse for cash and find your priceless note.
- If your partner is going to take a shower just after you, then write a personal message once the mirror gets fogged with steam. Although the message will be invisible once the steam has cleared, it will magically appear when your partner takes a shower. If the mirror doesn’t get fogged, then do not get disappointed. You can always write your message on a note and stick it on the mirror.
- This is an over-the-top idea. Cut heart-shaped pieces out of a colored paper and fill each heart with one reason why you love your partner. Make as many as 100 or more and either stick them on your bedroom door or put them all in a box and gift it to your sweetheart. They will jump with joy reading all those messages.
- Bake cupcakes and write short love messages on them. If your partner has a sweet tooth, then these cupcakes will be sweeter than usual.
- Go through all your old photos, pick some and match each one with a love quote , stick them in a journal and gift it to the love of your life.
- Roses are the epitome of love. Send your sweetheart a bouquet of roses along with your I-love-you note, or decorate your bed with rose petals and place a love letter on the bed.
- Social media is the modern way to shout out your love. Type in your love message along with a cute picture of you both, post it, and tag your significant other (make sure your partner is ok with it).
- Make a playlist of songs you both like. In between the songs, record your love messages, gift it to your sweetheart; they will be thrilled to hear your voice in between.
- A love letter can never go wrong. Handwrite it, or email it but pour your heart into words, and send them a heartfelt love letter.
- Write your message in a bottle, decorate it, and present it to your beloved. This classic way never gets old.
- Buy a chalkboard with the words ‘ I love you’ written across, write one love message a day until their birthday or Valentine’s day. This is like a daily dose of love each morning.
- If your partner is late from office and you know they had a long and tiring day, do their part of chores and leave a love note. They will remember this forever.
- Book tickets to their favorite vacation place and gift them along with your love note. Do we need to say more?
