What to prepare before you start

Have a message, a photo and an optional Spotify link ready. You can choose a page layout or open a finished example before following the steps below.

  • Instant publishing: Hit Publish and share a clean link that works on mobile and desktop.
  • Private by default: Enable the password gate so only your partner can enter.
  • Emotion-ready blocks: Timelines, promise lists, music embeds, countdowns to your next visit, and reveal buttons.
  • Live editing: Update the page after you share it. The link stays the same.
  • Special effects: Hearts, sakura, and premium fireworks themes that match the mood.
Start a Love Letter Site

10-minute quick start

  1. Open the Creator: Click Open the Creator and pick a theme color plus a background effect.
  2. Add your headline: Example: "A Love Letter for You" or "Countdown to Our Next Hug."
  3. Add your memories: Use text and photo blocks for three moments that matter. Keep each memory to 1-2 sentences.
  4. Embed a song: Use the music block for your shared playlist or a single track.
  5. Add a reveal: Use a button that flips to a hidden note, photo, or promise.
  6. Toggle privacy: Turn on the password gate so only your partner enters.
  7. Publish and share: Hit Publish. Copy the link and send it with a short text: "Open this when you are ready."
Pro tip: Keep each section short. Let the music and reveal blocks carry the emotion while the copy stays simple.

Sections to include

Hero + headline

One sentence on intent, a looping background, and the song that sets the tone.

Timeline

Three milestones with photos. End with what you are excited about next.

Countdown + promise

Countdown to your next visit or date night, paired with a promise list.

Reveal block

Hide a letter, video, or RSVP link. It opens when they tap the button.

Keep it scannable: Two lines per section is enough. Use the Creator preview to make sure it reads well on mobile.

Keep it private and special

Share the link with confidence. The Creator gives you:

  • Password protection so only your partner enters.
  • Unlisted links that are not indexed while you keep it private.
  • Editable content after you send the link, so you can add new memories without a redesign.

Ideas you can ship today

  • Long-distance countdown: Add a countdown to your next visit, and explain the date in the text. A countdown does not schedule delivery or lock the page until that date.
  • Anniversary mini-site: Text and photos about your favorite dates, a playlist, and an invitation with details in the closing message. Start with an online anniversary card if you need something faster, or go bigger with an anniversary website.
  • Apology letter with proof of change: A short note acknowledging what happened and the steps you are taking, with room for them to respond in their own time.
  • Proposal hint: Keep it private with a password. Include the invitation details or a clue in the text.

FAQ

Is this the builder or a tutorial?

This is the setup tutorial. The Creator is the tool where you assemble and publish the page.

Can I edit after I send the link?

Eligible pages can be edited through your account without changing the recipient link. Check the page status in your account; editing does not remove its expiry limit.
