Valentine's Day Card Templates

The best Valentine's cards are specific and slightly understated, which is the opposite of what most templates offer. These four leave the decoration restrained and give the message the middle of the card.

Rose Wreath and Wine Script are the romantic ones. Plain Heart and Bold Red are drier, which suits couples who would find anything softer faintly embarrassing.

For a couple further along, an anniversary card naming a specific year usually says more than a Valentine's card can.

Common questions

What do you write in a Valentine's card?

Something particular to the two of you rather than to romance in general. A private reference or an ordinary moment you both remember beats any borrowed line.

Is a printed card acceptable?

Yes, especially one you wrote yourself and printed at home. What people remember is whether the words were yours, not whether the card came from a shop.

Can I use these for a first Valentine's?

Plain Heart and Bold Red are the safer two - warm without assuming more than has been said out loud yet.
