How to write the perfect Valentines Card | Valentines Day Cards from GettingPersonal.co.uk

19 January 2010

Valentine's Day is all about love and celebrating our relationships. The modern expansion in the greetings card industry has led to a huge increase in the number of mass produced, off-the-shelf cards making generic declarations of love. Although these do make it considerably easier to express our feelings, they also signify a disappointing loss of the original spirit of Valentine's Day. Traditionally the day was all about the exchanging of special, hand-written love notes that lovers would spend time composing. They would include heartfelt messages of adoration or quirky, individualised verses. They might be humorous, sentimental or saucy but the main thing was that they were personalised and unique to the lovers that exchanged them.

Whether you are married, in a committed relationship or hoping to catch the eye of a new lover this Valentine's Day, there are a few simple tips that can help you write the perfect Valentine's Day Cards and sweep your loved one off their feet. By focusing on the particular characteristics of the object of your affection that you love the most and telling them what makes them special, you will not only make them feel appreciated but also show them how considerate you are. The choice of card will depend to some extent on the message you want to send and a good way to create the perfect Valentines Day cards is to decide first on the type of message and then choose a card to fit. For example, think about whether you want to be humorous, cute or affectionate and what sort of approach will most appeal to the recipient.

Try to choose a Valentine's Day Cards that reflects their interests and accompany it with a special message that really comes from the heart. It can often be tempting to choose a mass produced card with a pre-printed message as it saves us having to think of something to say but making the effort to include your own words, no matter how well you are able to articulate your feelings, will be worth so much more to your loved one. For most of us it is considerably easier to express our feelings on paper than face-to-face, not least because you can have as many attempts as you like before settling on a final message. By giving you the opportunity to set out your feelings clearly, without risk of interruptions, Valentines Day cards are the ideal way to deliver your message of love. By choosing a card that reflects their personality you will be sending a clear message that you pay attention to them and love them just as they are.

For jet setters that love to see the world's famous landmarks, you can appeal to their adventurous side by putting their name right next to some of the most famous spots on the planet, even if you can't quite muster the cash to take them there in person. The New York skyline card lets you spell their name in fireworks in the night sky of the city that never sleeps. Or perhaps they dream of seeing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and a card that sets their name across the famous span will show them that you really listen to their desires. If your loved one prefers staying closer to home, Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity for a cosy night in for two. Take refuge from the February chill and spend an evening in with bubbly, good music and a delicious shared meal together. Make sure you take the phone off the hook to ensure you have an evening of uninterrupted pleasure. To give your valentine a sneak preview of your plans, choose a card that is all about indulgence and luxury, like the personalised chocolate pudding card or the rose petals design that spells out your sweetheart's name in petals.

Once you've chosen the perfect Valentine's Day Cards and personalised it accordingly, it's time to compose a special message to go inside. Try not to be too daunted by the task but relax and have some fun. The trick is not to try and say too much or be over-sentimental in your greeting. Keep it light-hearted but loving and add some humour to make them smile. If you've chosen a card that's a little naughty, keep the theme going with your message. A flirtatious card will appeal to their sexy side and make sure that they associate you with playful fun in their mind. If, on the other hand, you decide that a cute card is the way to win your loved one's heart, then again try to maintain the theme with your message. Teddy bears and bunnies can be adorable but if you try to match them with a saucy message you run the risk of coming across as bizarrely contradictory. So decide first on the message and then choose a design to match. This way you will ensure consistency and maximise the effect of your special card. With just a little careful thought, writing perfect Valentines Day cards is much easier than it seems and it is well worth the effort to really impress the object of your affections.
