A message that lands: a method in three lines

  • ✦ One precise detail: a place, a sentence, an object only the two of you recognize.
  • ✦ One to three sentences: any more and it's a letter.
  • ✦ Your everyday tone: if you tease each other, the message can tease too.

Replace the brackets with your names, places and dates.

Frequently asked questions

What should I write in a Valentine's card?
Two or three sentences with a detail that belongs only to the two of you: a place, a sentence, an object. The detail matters more than the formula.
Can I use one of these messages as is?
Yes, but replacing the brackets with your own details makes it far more personal. An adapted message stands out.
Can I print my message in a book?
Yes. A dedication can be added and printed in a LoomyBook: just write to us after you order.
How long does it take to write a message?
Ten minutes is enough if you start from a precise memory. Note three scenes, then pick one.
