    50 reasons why I love you...

    Hello

    Not sure if this has been mentioned before but thought I would mention it as an idea for others, if it has been mentioned before I apologise!!

    My girlfriend sent me the "open when" letters which are really cute I've only opened one so far but it is really personal and thoughtful.
    I am going to do my own "open when" letters for her but wanted to send her a little something to remind her of why I love her, I got 50 small buisness type cards (blank) hole punched a corner on each one and threaded with pink ribbon.
    I then wrote 50 different reasons why I love her (I love your smile, I love when you get excited and talk really fast etc) I did my own drawings on them too just so they felt more personal to her.

    I know people have done them with a pack of playing cards but I did my own I was going to post some photos of my cards to share with you guys but I forgot!! They are now on the way to America, I can't wait to see what she thinks of them.

      I did the 52 card version, too. I am very proud that I did that for my first visit to him (having spent a couple of days in person and the rest online), and managing to actually come up with 52... Looking back I am actually a bit shocked that I managed to write things that he recognized himself in.

      Something like this: https://www.52reasonsiloveyou.com/
      I made love to him only twice, she thought and looked at the man laying asleep beside her. And yet still it is as if we have been together forever, as if he has always known my life, my soul, my body, my light, my pain

        I've seen this idea floating around the internet, mainly Pinterest and Tumblr, and I have really wanted to do it for awhile now, but want a different way of doing it. I really don't want to do the playing cards, but I can't think of any other ideas. I like the idea of the little business type cards, but what other types of cards or things could you use for this?

          The way the playing cards work is that you write something in the middle (I put drawings, scrapbook ornaments or magazine clippings in too), laminate the cards (or at least I did) and then punch hole through all of them and put a wire through the holes to make a "book ". Business cards will be too small to make up a book, but photos could be a good size. Or/and your can buy a small book to do it in.

            I think you can literally do it on ANYTHING you want to but the whole point of it is to think of why you love your SO and physically writing them down that means the most.
