Is it OK to be funny in a love letter?
Romantic comedies make humor look easy—like the bumbling but well-meaning partner or the plucky, hopeless romantic. But in the real world, humor can backfire when you’re trying to say something truly heartfelt:
- Almost all humor has a ‘butt’ of the joke. That should never be your significant other—your goal is to make them feel adored, not teased.
- Self-deprecating humor shifts the focus away from them. The best gifts (and words) highlight the one you love, not your flaws.
- The One Exception. **Inside jokes are golden—**they’re a sweet nod to shared memories. But if you’re veering into “insult comic” territory, it’s time to rein it in.
Focus on sincerity, and if humor naturally slips in, that’s great. But lead with heartfelt words that remind them just how special they are.
