Remember all those cute Valentine treats that marked the special day when you were little? Back then, the only thing more exciting than painstakingly creating dozens of Valentine crafts and collecting handfuls of those little heart-shaped candies was choosing cards to hand out to everyone in the class. As adults, many of us have forgotten the art of crafting heartfelt Valentine messages. After all, it’s easier to buy a Valentine’s Day gift for your SO, grab a generic card for it, sign it, and call it a day. That said, sending thoughtful Valentine’s Day messages to everyone who’s made a difference in your life can go a long way.
“Everyone you consider part of your inner circle should get a card,” says Jodi RR Smith, founder of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting. “Whether you’re expressing affection to a partner or appreciating a friend, there’s something so special about handing out handwritten, heartfelt messages of love.”
If you’re not sure what to write in your Valentine’s card, start by thinking about why that person is important to you, suggests Smith. And really dig deep: Which of them makes your heart skip a beat? What do you value most about their friendship? Why are they one of your favorite people? When in doubt, you can’t go wrong by sharing a beloved memory, funny story, or inside joke that connects the two of you.
Check out the sweet sentiments, cute jokes, and romantic quotes below for inspiration. Putting words to paper is a great way to remind your partner (and the rest of your circle) just how special they really are. A meaningful Valentine’s Day message is also a nice keepsake that they can cherish for years to come.
