What should I write in my Valentine’s card?
The best messages, of course, are personal to you and come from the heart. They are also best crafted when you know the person you are giving the card to very well, because only then will you know if they’d prefer to read a sentimental passage or a humorous in-joke you’ve shared.
That said, there are some universal messages which would be a good place to start if you’re really struggling to know what to say to your beloved. We’ve included them below, broken down by message type.
Sentimental messages
- Ours is my favourite love story.
- My heart belongs to you today and always.
- You are everything to me and I can’t imagine life without you by my side.
- The best thing about me is you.
- Next to you is my favourite place to be.
- You’re all I ever wanted and I’m so glad you’re mine.
- I’m so lucky to have a boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/friend like you.
- Love is an amazing journey and I’m so glad I’m travelling with you.
- You are the kindest and most special person I’ve ever met. Will you be my Valentine?
- I never thought that I’d find someone that makes me feel the way you do. You’re the love of my life.
- Words are just not enough to express my love for you.
- If you will be my Valentine, I will hold you very close, I will give you a kiss, as well as a little red rose.
- This Valentine’s won’t just pass you by, for darling Cupid is flying in the sky. He can see the love I got for you, his arrow is sharp, and the aim is true. He will never miss, nor shall I, I will love you always – until the day I die.
- I hope I am not coming onto you too strong, but can these intense feelings be so wrong? I want to get to know you so much more.
Funny messages
- I’m glad you’re as weird as me! Happy Valentine’s Day.
- I know it’s cheesy but we’re meant to brie.
- I know love can sometimes change, and feelings can often be strange. Yet, how I feel is not a mystery, I love you even more than biscuit and tea.
- People say love is blind, but to me, no, it is not. My love for you actually opened my eyes to all your faults – and yet, I still love you.
- You are my sun that lights up my life, but also gives me sunburns sometimes. Love you to the sun and back.
- Don’t forget how we look now. Some day, we will get wrinkly and old. However, the best part about it is we will get wrinkly and old together. Happy Valentine’s, love.
- I need you more than my dressing gown/phone/games console (insert your favourite thing)
