Step 1
How long have you been going out? A month? Or have you been married for fifty years? This is really going to help you figure out what sort of card to pick, and what to write inside. A card for a new relationship should be breezy and light, while a long-term relationship can be more meaningful and sentimental.

Step 2
When in doubt...buy two cards. That funny one is great, but the pretty one has a beautiful verse that you know will make her cry. Fork over the exra three bucks and get them both!

Step 3
Choose something that appeals to her personality. If she loves animals, a teddy bear or a puppy is a great choice. If she likes gardening, flowers. What about music? Or pick a card with her favorite colors.

Step 4
Now what to write inside? Unless you are very brave, you probably did not purchase a blank card. But even somthing that is covered in verse needs a personal touch. For a new relationship, again, keep it brief. How about, "I'm so glad we get to spend today together", or "I hope our love keeps growing". For a more long term relationship, copy a favorite poem or song lyrics into the card... just be sure to write the author so she doesn't think you're trying to pawn it off as your own!

Step 5
How about describing how you felt when you first met her? How the first kiss tasted? How you never dreamed life could be so wonderful?
