Friends<\/p><\/div>\n

Writing a letter to a dear friend is like giving them a surprise gift. If you\u2019d like to make someone\u2019s day, this blog post outlines how to write a great letter which is guaranteed to make your friend smile.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons you might want to write a letter to a friend \u2014 perhaps you just want to say ‘hi’, you might want to thank them for something they have done recently, or maybe they are not well and you want to cheer them up. \u00a0They might have moved away (or you might), in which case letter writing is the perfect way to catch up until you can see each other again.<\/p>\n

So, what do you write in your letter and how do you lay it out? I\u2019ve compiled some top tips below.<\/p>\n

Use nice stationery<\/h1>\n

Pretty stationery will make your friend feel extra special. Why not find some themed stationery based on one of your friend\u2019s favourite things? Personally, if I received a letter and envelope decorated in cats, I\u2019d feel really loved (and I’m sure the postman or woman would love it, too!)<\/p>\n

Date the letter<\/h1>\n

Make sure you date your letter, especially if you\u2019re sending it abroad, so your friend knows when you wrote it. This could be important for dating any stories you share with them, and will also be useful in the future if they re-read your letter years down the line.<\/p>\n
