Writing a personal message in a Valentine's Day card takes only a few moments, but it shows someone how important they are. Before writing, take some time to think about what you want to say and express in your card. Consider your relationship with this person and the memories you share. You might even write a rough draft of your message so you can get it exactly right. Remember to always sign your name at the bottom of the message, and consider writing the year, so that the person can look back later and know exactly when they received the card.
- Add special memories to a Valentine's Day card. Think about some of the experiences and moments you've shared with this person. Consider a funny moment together, like the evening you sang karaoke, or an inspiring moment, such as when she encouraged you to train and run a 5K. Write your favorite memory of the person, such as when they reached a milestone like a graduation or marriage. Consider mentioning how you hope you'll share many more memories in the future. Shared memories in a Valentine's Day card are ideal sentiments for friends or close acquaintances.
- Writing "I love you" in a Valentine's Day card is a common practice, especially in cards for your significant other. Think of a creative way to say the words, giving the Valentine's Day card extra-special meaning. Try writing "I love you" in several different languages, such as Spanish ("Te amo"), German ("Ich liebe dich") or Japanese ("Aishiteru"). Write a line like, "No matter the language, I love you." Or purchase a card to record your own voice on, saying "I love you" in several languages. Card companies such as Hallmark make cards for personalized messages, allowing the recipient to replay the message and hear your voice. Access correct pronunciations at howtosayiloveyou.net. Remember, even if your pronunciation isn't exactly correct, your significant other will appreciate the effort.
- Express your thoughts and feelings toward the Valentine's Day card recipient. Tell the person how much their friendship means to you and how important they are in your life. Say thank you for being able to count on them. Choose a few moments to highlight, such as when they made dinner for you when you were sick, or when they watched your house while you were out of town. The details and depth of information to include depends on your relationship with this friend, family member or significant other.
