Ideas to Write that Perfect Valentines Day Message

Not sure what to include in your Valentine’s Day cards this year? Well, that’s perfectly understandable.

the perpetual challenge of holiday cards, especially something as romantic as Valentine’s Day, is always the difficulty of toeing that line between heartfelt, genuine, and vulnerable and cheesy and unoriginal. 

For those of us who aren’t especially poetic or creative, it can be especially hard to come up with something thoughtful to say that doesn’t sound completely ridiculous. That’s why we’ve put together a card-writing template or guide for you to use.

Prewritten messages to make your job easier this year

Feel free to copy verbatim if you want, or to put your own spin on it – remember, you know your loved ones better than we do. So whether you’re contacting a family member over email who you haven’t spoken to in months, or leaving a card on the kitchen table for your loved one to wake up to, we hope these ideas will be of some help to you.

Short, Simple Messages
