Consider this your ultimate guide to what to write in a Valentine’s Day card. From romantic confessions to playful one-liners, we’ve gathered the sweetest, funniest, and most memorable ways to fill your card with meaning.
Sweet & Simple Starters
Sometimes, simple says it best. If you’re not sure where to begin, start with one of these heartfelt openers:
"I love you."
"I appreciate all that you do."
"You're my best friend."
"Every day with you is better than the last."
"I'm the best version of myself because of you."
"You are my greatest blessing."
"Thank you for being you, beautiful inside and out."
"I couldn't ask for a better partner."
"Every second with you is time well spent."
"I can't wait to spend forever with you."
"Every day with you is a wonderful new adventure."
"Every day with you is filled with love, laughter, and light!”
“Here’s to all the memories to come.”
"I am the luckiest person in the world because I have you."
“I may not have been your first… but I’ll be your last everything.”
Lighten Up
If laughter is your love language, lean into it. A little humor can make your message even more memorable:
"Roses are red, violets are blue. Everyone sucks—except for you!"
"I've fallen (for you), and I can't get up."
"You're my favorite thing to do."
"You take my breath away. My patience, too, but mostly my breath."
“I’m so glad I went on a date with a stranger from the internet.”
"I'm yours. Forever. No refunds."
"I love you more than I love complaining about work."
"Be mine.. Or else."
"Netflix, tequila, and chill?"
“I hate Valentine’s Day, but I love you. So here we are.”
"Can we please cuddle tonight?"
"Wanna go half on a baby?"
“You’re my favorite… Even when you’re hangry.”
"I'm so lucky to have found someone who hates the same things as me."
"P.S. I shaved my legs for you."
Poems, Quotes & Verses to Share
Looking to add a little poetry, wisdom, or inspiration? A meaningful quote or verse is a meaningful way to elevate your message.
A Poetic Touch
Borrow a few beautiful words from those who’ve mastered the art of romance:
"Why do I love" You, Sir?
Because—
The Wind does not require the Grass
To answer—
Wherefore when He pass
She cannot keep Her place.”
—Emily Dickinson, Why do I love You, Sir?
"For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared,
with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the
climber is clearer from the plain."
—Kahlil Gibran, On Friendship
"I have loved you
for less time than I have loved some others,
but none more deeply than you; no one more
absolutely."
—Carl Phillips, Fixed Shadow, Moving Water
"I was wiser too than you had expected
For I knew all along you were mine"
—Dorothea Lasky, Poem to an Unnameable Man
"I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire;
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire."
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox, I Love You
