30 Sweet and Romantic Valentine’s Day Cards That Say “I Love You”
Prepare yourself: Valentine’s Day is here again. Between all the things you’ve done to get ready for the day—picked out a fabulous dress to wear (we have 30+ gorgeous options here), bought the necessary gifts (from ones for her to non-cheesy ideas that boyfriends won’t hate), and perfected your beauty routine (these are our fave V-Day nail designs)—you may have forgotten one important piece: buying the perfect card. Don’t sweat it! We’ve got you covered with 30 cute, romantic, and funny card options.
If you’re looking to grab a card for your long-term partner, there are plenty of heartfelt (...and not-so-romantic) ideas. But we’ve also added a few for newer relationships and online dating matches, too. And some of the cards work great for family members, like your mom or sister, while others are perfect for your best friends (including some real galentine ones). Oh, and we added a couple florals, because that’s one of the best Valentine gifts around (find even more flower delivery options here).
You might need a little extra help with what to write inside the card, so feel free to consult these Hallmark-approved tips for writing love notes before getting started. And if you still need a gift to attach to that card, here are some great last-minute options. Now all that’s left is to queue up a Valentine’s Day movie to get in the spirit—and then share some love.
