What To Write In A Valentine’s Day Card

Valentine’s Day is about more than giving a bunch of gifts and candy to your significant other. It can also be used to express your love for other people in your life like your children, friends, or family members who don’t have someone special to spend the day with. And it’s times like this where a tiny and thoughtful gesture, like writing in a Valentine’s Day card, can make anyone smile. You can get chocolate any day, but words last forever. But what to write in a Valentine’s Day card? The question arises every year, and it never seems to get any easier. Don’t be afraid to keep it simple, or make it personal. Or even buy a card that has a message in it that just really resonates with you and sign it simply “I love you.” Sometimes, a carefully chosen store-bought card can say it all, and that’s OK. If you have kids at home who are into making art, it’s always a great idea to enlist their help, too! Nothing says “we love you” like original art work by the kids, that’s always frame-worthy (or at least fridge-worthy.)

If you need some assistance expressing your love, here’s a list of ideas of what to write in a Valentine’s Day card for pretty much anybody in your life.
