WITH THESE CARDS YOU MAKE A HUGE IMPACT

you must and want to have or send this for Valentine's

This weekend I told you all the tips and tricks about sending Valentine's cards. Ending with ‘anonymous’ is really a no-go, you can also skip the rose petals and cards with bears, sheep, or music notes are better left unsent. So there is quite a etiquette that you must follow. I understand: the bar for ‘making an impression’ I may have set a bit high.

No worries. I'm going to help you, because there are really nice Valentine's cards available. So if you're not great at writing adoring texts, that card will cover it up and still convey your love. And yes, they are really fun. So maybe you can still get away with an anonymous note as a caption or a stray rose petal in the envelope.

Oh, I almost forgot the extras. A beautiful card also deserves a beautiful packaging. It should be an experience. So a pink or white envelope is actually not enough. Your most beautiful handwriting already does a lot, but sealing the envelope with a wax seal or a nice sticker can't hurt either. And a label with the address on it shows that you really put some effort into it. I'm already looking forward to sending a card. Or actually, a whole bunch. You understand with all this fun that I can't help but provide multiple cuties with a card. You probably do too. Long live sending cards.
