aspasp1

Hi all,

any one know where I can find a special paper to write a love letter. Its a very special occasion and have a lot to say, want something really really special or may be an online printing option but has to be THE BEST...wont mind spending 100- 200 euro.

Any help appreciated.

Mods please move somewhere else if needs to be.

Thanks

was going to make a funny comment.

but i'm lost for fúcking words...

whatever about the paper type, I think love letters should be written by hand - or did you mean online printing of the stationery that you will write the letter on?

AnonoBoy

I find trying to write a letter whilst in motion is very difficult so yes I would advise writing it whilst stationary.

amdublin

Aww such a nice thought! How about you buy some nice stationary for a tenner and buy a btl of perfume for the 100-200and give that with the letter.

I just think you are wasting money on the paper - the intended recipient will not recognize it's value.

I'd love to get a love letter. The most I got off my boyfriend was a few scrawled lines in a Christmas card with "Don't tell anyone I said this or they'll think I'm homo/soft"

kinkygirl

Write on the back of a Lidl receipt. That would melt any girls heart..swoon.

No, I have seen somewhere that you can write your message and it will be printed like embossed gold/silver writing, if that makes sense.

Gran Hermano

What a moving sentiment.

I once wrote a love letter in biro on A4 foolscap, that made a man run out of his office to catch the next train down from Dublin to see me.

Belvedere Bond, you'll find it in most stationery shops, and a good writing pen - makes all the difference!

I'd suggest you roll the letter up like a scroll with a pink ribbon and attach it to a bottle of Romance (Ralph Lauren).

If you are male do the above.

If you are female let me know and will give another suggestion.

unless your gf is a some sort of nerd writer or novelist this 200 euro will be wasted, buy her jewellery and e-mail her would be my advice

handwritten is my choice but atleast if I find a special paper will make me happy. Its for wife and its for anniversary...

Holy crap, I've just seen you want to spend €200 on it! :eek:

What are you writing, a book?

It's a nice thought OP, and I love the smell of a ream of fresh paper and the haptic satisfaction of pressing a pen into it.

The expense should really be in the words you write on it. Sounds like you want to write your letter on something that will last a long time...

but please bear in mind that it could end up in a forgotten in a drawer or shoebox, or eventually thrown out.

Why not write it on seed paper, so the recipient can plant it and give it a better life?

It's a really nice idea dude!

My suggestion:
Buy nice paper - easons might be able to help you
Nice pen (not biro) - maybe even a gold pen?!
Nice gift or perfume or jewellery which will remind her of the letter every time she wears it

Happy anniversary!

VampiricPadraig

I am not trying to be funny or even trolling, but for a valentine's day letter, I would simply get:

This "Premium" paper
Some Pink/Red glitter gel pens
And just in case you are stuck for words, there is even a Love Letter Generator

Also attach some bows left over from Christmas and spray the letter with some cheap €1.99 spray!

Good Luck

Why not do a photo book for her?!

No GF she is wife and yes there is separate budget for jewellery.. thanks

I got a complaint letter sent in to work the other day written on a grease-stained brown paper bag. I reckon that option could never fail you!

EDIT - also it's stationery not stationary (which means not moving) - that gets on my nerves. I may need to post it in the trivial things that annoy you thread!

OK, well then you're going to need this-


http://www.vikingdirect.ie/a/pb/Conqueror-Bond-Laid-Business-Paper-Vellum-100Gsm/id=10050-VM/


And because it's 100GSM, it's quite thick, so one of these will be necessary-

An extra tip is to use a heavy lined sheet behind the paper so your writing looks neat and stays in straight lines.


Going out of my way this morning :pac:

I don't know where this thread belongs. Absolutely no idea tbh.

You posted it in After Hours - most likely without reading the charter, but to summarise; you will get a mix of total pisstake answers here, and some serious/good answers. If you aren't happy to have your post laughed at a little then it doesn't belong in this forum and I will lock it for you, just let me know.

She's a lucky lady by the sounds of things!

It is nice you are putting so much thought into this. But imo 200 is crazy money for paper...

dr.bollocko

Write it on the back of 2 hundred euro notes.

Another option is to get it from Japan, Have a friend in japan and she sent me a very special hand written msg for our wedding on a very special hand made paper.. I was thinking if i can get something like that here would be great. Thats a last option but i know for fact that I ll love that...thanks any way

Raminahobbin

OP, unless you're buying tonnes of paper there's absolutely no need to budget that much!! Take a trip in to Daintree on Camden street if you're in Dublin, they've gorgeous paper in there- it's their specialty.

Where in the country are you based?

Can she read Japanese?

Micky Dolenz

Break into their house and write your love message all over their walls in your own blood. This will show without doubt how much you love them.

No she cant, the msg was in my language (Not english) and there are calligraphy artist in japan who ll do it for you about 20-30 €/hr.
