Photography by Gabriela's Photography and Film

That time of year has arrived - the one where you show your special someone just how much they mean to you with a thoughtful Valentine’s Day card. And don’t worry, we’re giving you plenty of time to find the one (the card, that is) before the big day sneaks up on you.

Whether you’re searching for the perfect words to write after years together or hunting for a card that truly reflects your partner and your relationship, we’ve rounded up 27 of the best Valentine’s Day cards for 2025.

From heartfelt and romantic to funny or personalised, we’ve got options for everyone - including your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancée, or even your bestie for Galentine’s celebrations. So, let’s find a card that says it all!


What to Write in a Valentine’s Day Card?

Whether you've exchanged countless Valentine’s Day cards over the years and are running out of new ways to say I love you, or you’re just not the poetic type - finding the right words can be tricky. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with plenty of ideas to help you craft the perfect message.

From heartfelt and romantic to lighthearted and funny, we’ll help you strike the right tone. And don’t worry, the personal touches will still be all yours - we’re just here to spark a little inspiration (your secret’s safe with us). So, grab your pen and let’s make this Valentine’s message one to remember!

Whether you want something sweet, funny, or romantic, here are some ideas to help you craft the perfect Valentine’s Day message:

 

1. Romantic & Heartfelt

If you want to go all in on the romance, focus on what your partner means to you. Mention how they make your life better, reflect on your relationship, or even hint at future plans together. Keep it personal and sincere - something that feels uniquely ‘you two.’

2. Sweet & Appreciative

Not one for grand declarations? A simple, heartfelt message works just as well. Tell them how much you appreciate them, highlight the little things they do that make you smile, or just let them know how lucky you feel to have them.

3. Funny & Playful

If your relationship is built on humour, keep things light! A witty one-liner, an inside joke, or a playful comment about their questionable tea-making skills can make the message feel extra personal.

4. Long-Distance & Thoughtful

If you’re apart this Valentine’s Day, acknowledge how much you miss them, but keep the focus on your connection rather than the distance. Mention things you’re looking forward to, shared memories, or even joke about counting down the days until you can finally go for that long-overdue date night.

5. New Relationship & Lighthearted

If it’s your first Valentine’s together, you don’t have to go overboard. Keep it fun and easy—acknowledge that it’s early days, mention what you like about them, or how you’re looking forward to future memories to come.

6. Galentine's & Platonic Love

Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples! Sometimes you just need your bestie to know how much you love them. Let them know how much you value their friendship, and how they’re your ultimate support system, or simply remind them that you love them almost as much as you love your wine-fueled catch-ups.
