Love Note Day is a day to tell someone you love them, by writing a message of love in the form of a note. Though the traditional way of doing this is in handwritten form, eCards are another way of sending out a love message on this particular day.
This day can be at its most effective when the recipient of the message isn’t aware that Love Note Day even exists! Consequently, a loving message will come as a pleasant surprise.
For couples that plan exchanging Love Notes, then doing so in unpredictable ways can make the whole day a fun experience. Leaving a note in a fridge, or on the inside of the bathroom door are just two examples.
FamilyShare has some other examples of love notes:
- Countdown love notesCountdown love notes are an excellent way to countdown an event such as an anniversary, birthday, Valentine’s Day, or to simply say “I love you.” This past year, I gave my husband the “14 Days of Valentines.” I started on Feb. 1, and each day I left a note on the counter, on his dresser or next to his wallet with a specific reason why I loved him and why he was my Valentine. He enjoyed getting the notes each day and I absolutely loved writing them.
- Bathroom journalA bathroom journal is a fun and quirky way to say I love you. Instead of a variety of books and magazines, place a journal in your bathroom. When you have that extra time in the bathroom, write to your spouse. It is something different and can be a fun way to communicate if you both write in the journal often.

Treasure hunt
Send your spouse on a treasure hunt throughout your home using love notes. In each clue, tell your spouse something you appreciate and admire about him/her or give a list of reasons why you are glad he/she is yours. The final prize can be flowers or a romantic dinner, or you could leave a much longer, more in-depth and passionate letter to your spouse. This small game will be something he/she remembers for a long time, and you can guarantee he/she will be telling all their friends about it.
- Banana noteIf you make your spouse’s lunch each day, send her/him with a banana. In the morning, use a toothpick and lightly write on the peel a message to your spouse. In a few hours, that message will darken and be legible. This is a fun way to surprise her/him because in the morning, she/he won’t even know it is there.
Love Note Day can be for any family members or for long time friends, too. It’s the perfect day to make someone feel appreciated through just a few heartfelt words.
