What To Write in a Valentine’s Day Card

Do you want to hand-craft a personalized Valentine’s Day card but don’t know where to start? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. Email, texting and even digital greeting cards have made it so that we don’t need to consider the different parts that make up a card. When you’re crafting the perfect card for your loved ones, make sure they contain a(n):

Introduction
Valentine’s Day Greeting
Personal Touches
Sign-off

Introduction

Just like every love story has a beginning, so should every greeting card. While it’s likely that you have a close relationship with the recipient, there are a few different options you can use when it comes to an introduction, depending on the person. These can include:

Dear [recipient’s first name],
To my love on Valentine’s Day,
To my best friend,
To my child this Valentine’s Day,

However you choose to start your card, remember it should reflect on your relationship to the person you are writing to.

Valentine’s Day Greeting

The whole reason behind penning your own card is to give your special someone a notable Valentine’s Day greeting. Add a special touch and give your recipient a loving message; we have plenty below to choose from.

Personal Touches

After your greeting, you have some room to add some personal touches and express the love you have for your recipient. Whether it’s a new love, an experienced love, a love for a friend or a love for a child, use this space to communicate how you feel and how happy you are that you have them in your life.

Sign-off

Congratulations! You have successfully made it to the end of the card; all that’s left is your loving sign-off. Some possibilities include:

Love, [your name]
I love you!
Forever yours, [your name]
XOXO, [your name]
Hugs and kisses, [your name]
With love, [your name]
Lots of love, [your name]

Once your card is complete, think about how you will be giving this to your special someone. You can leave your festive note on a counter, in their car or even on a nightstand. However they receive your card, they’ll be sure to both love and appreciate it.

Valentine’s Day Messages for Romance
