How to Create Printable Love Coupons

Valentine's Day is a day when individuals that love each other exchange gifts. Many of these gifts are bought at stores, but not all of them are necessarily. It is possible to create your own Valentine's Day present for your significant other. One of the popular homemade gifts are collections of coupons that can be redeemed for special activities. These activities could be meals at a restaurant, control of the television for a night, a movie of their choice or sexual activities performed in or out of the bedroom.

Things You'll Need

• 3-by-5 inch notecards, either pink or red, unlined Glue String

Instructions

1. Set your paper size to the proper size for your printable love coupons on your word processing software. If you are looking to print notecard size coupons, set your paper size to 3 inches in length and 5 inches in width. To do this in Microsoft Word, select the "File" option from the top tool bar. Then select "Page Setup." Set your bottom margin to 9 inches, and either your right or your left margin to 6 1/2 inches.

2. Print the title of the love coupon at the top of the page. Make this short and descriptive. It can be something like "dining out," "entertainment" or "adults only", with the last one being for the more risque coupons.

3. Type the text for your love coupon in the word processor. Remember, you only have a limited area to type each coupon so eliminate any unnecessary wording on the coupons. Be creative and design these coupons especially for the person you are presenting them to. Remember the personal touch is what makes these special.

4. Enter an expiration date at the bottom of each of the love coupons.

5. Alter the size and font of your typing however you wish after you finish typing your love coupon. Make sure you don't select an option that results in your text exceeding your margins.

6. Purchase a pack of red or pink, unlined 3-by-5 inch notecards to match the color theme of both love and Valentine's Day.

7. Set up the notecards to feed into your printer based on your printer's settings. Select the print option from your word processing software, and print out your love coupons.

8. Attach the coupons together either using tape, glue or string. To use the string, punch a hole in the top right corner and the bottom right corner of each card and thread the string through the top and bottom holes of each card, tying the string together to attach the cards as one booklet.

Tips & Warnings

• If your printer does not offer the option to feed the notecards through the printer, you can print out the cards on paper, and then glue them onto the notecards.

• Be careful about what you offer on these cards, keeping in mind they will be cashed in at some point.
