What does it mean word for word?
The phrase literally translates to "with all my love".
Which one should you use?
While avec tout mon amour is a closing used at the end of a message, the phrase Je t'aime is a complete sentence used to express the feeling of love itself.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
avec tout mon amour is considered an informal closing. For a more casual and common way to end a letter or card to friends or family, you can use Bises, which means "Kisses". If you want to add emphasis to the kisses being sent, you can use Grosses bises. Another informal option is Je t'envoie tout mon amour, which translates to "I send you all my love".
How does it change in a sentence?
If the sender is female, the phrase remains avec tout mon amour because amour is a masculine noun and mon is the possessive adjective used regardless of the gender of the person possessing it.
