Valentine's Day Cards: Ideas of Wishes and DIY Designs

December 07, 2022

Believe it or not, Valentine's Day is just around the corner — but unfortunately, so is dreary weather, cloudy skies, and almost unnecessary amounts of publicly displayed affection. If you're feeling uninspired as you try to come up with some romantic love messages, or create a creative homemade Valentine's Day card, we don't blame you. We got you.

Valentine’s Day is usually just one of those days when we either wake up grinning from ear to ear because we've got this special person in our lives we can't wait to wish, or in a grim mood ‘cos we’ve got no one or are not into all this romantic mood. Or so we think. Either way, no one truly forgets what February 14 is all about. No one is oblivious of the love hovering in the air, gliding from lips to cheeks, to tongues to hearts. And even if you’re living in denial of this holiday, don’t deny your loved ones a beautiful Valentine Day greeting card from Boomf.

Finding a good Valentine’s Day card

Now, this might pose as a problem, this burdening question; How do you find the perfect Valentine’s Day card?

When looking for a Valentine’s Day card, do it with your recipient in mind. The kind of your relationship, their preferences, and your history of sending each other Valentine’s cards will dictate your card choice. Keep these things in mind and you will have no problem finding the perfect card even in the biggest collection.

We here at Boom know what will get your card smothered on the top shelf between golden trophies and shiny plaques, above framed certificates even. So check out our collection of Valentine’s Day cards and find the one you can put your wishes in now.

For Friends

For Boyfriend

Happy Valentine’s Day to the most special person in my life. In case you ever forget, I’m never not thinking of you.
Happy Valentine’s Day, handsome. The more time I spend with you, the more I realise how much I can’t live with you, the more I wonder how I could breathe without you, the more I ponder on everything I am with you, the more I wish we met before we did.
Hey lover, cheers to the day we get to be our lovey-dovey selves. Now, let’s smother those single pringles with our PDA.

For Girlfriend

I need to upgrade the power of my glasses because I’m blindly in love with you, baby.
Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetie pie. Be expecting something even sweeter later tonight.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the girl makes my heart go BOOM! I don’t know if that’s healthy but my heart thumps anytime I dream of you leaving me.

Roses are red. Violets are blue. But not any of these pretty daisies or daffodils or damsels are as enchanting as you.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the person I see everywhere I go, whose voice I hear everywhere I turn. It’s either I’m crazy in love with you or we spend way too much time together.

For Husband

Valentine’s Day meant nothing to me before we met or got married, bubba. It still means nothing, cos I’m still going to work, but yeah, you get my drift. Happy Valentine’s Day regardless.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day looks great in movies and all, but in real life, it’s just horrible and costly. Plus, I’m the only gift you really need, right?
The best way for me to celebrate Valentine’s Day is with the love of my life— food. But yeah, food can’t read, so here’s a card for you.
Happy Valentine’s Day, hubby. Thank you for bringing so much love, joy and adventure into my life. I love you.
I wonder how you’re still able to make me laugh after all these years. Thank you for being so exotic and unique.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the man after my heart.

For Wife

Remember my first Valentine's Day wish to you? “Love is just like a fart. If you push it, shit's gonna come out!” Well, now you remember. Happy Valentine’s Day, babe.
Happy Valentine’s Day, honey. The children miss you, and the big one too.
Dear love of my life, since we got married, Valentine’s Day seems more like a regular day. But I wouldn’t have this regular day with anyone else. Love you tons.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the most beautiful woman I know, to my one and only. I love you and I love us.
We’ve been through a lot but you’ve always stuck with me. I love you with all of my heart.

Happy Valentine's Day to the one I can’t live without. Like, I’ve tried, I really have, but one day is too much.
I like the way you chew my mind like a bar of chocolate. It’s just a matter of days before I become brain dead because of you.

Easy Handmade Cards

Do you want to make your Valentine’s Day just a little special with a loved one? How about sketching some time from your schedule to make an amazing DIY Valentine’s Day card.

For a husband or wife, you can craft a button heart photo card. And yes, it is as cute as it sounds. All you have to do is cut a heart shape in the front of a plain note card. Glue a photograph to the inside of the card, centering it in the opening. Then, glue buttons around the outline of the heart cutout and to the finish.
For a best friend, you may want something simpler, something that screams I love you, but we’re chill, you know? A vegetable watercolour Valentine’s card is best. Tell them you love them with a hand-painted card and clever saying. Make a loose watercolour drawing of fruits or vegetables on the front of blank note cards and add a jocular saying — such as "Are you a Banana? ‘Cos You’re Ap-pealing." "Olive You," and "Wheel you be my Valentine." Not too much, just enough.
For a boyfriend or girlfriend, you go all out. No pressure, but do you want this relationship to work or not? Do you want to have a future together or what? Then, the DIY Valentine’s Day pop-up card is what you need to do. It’s so easy a fifth grader could do it. Cut the card stock. Draw out the hearts and shapes you need. Use a ruler to measure so it fits perfectly on your card. Glue the hearts, the folded down tabs in one place. Then, decorate the inside and outside of the card and add your personalised message.
Then, for a sibling, you could go simple or you could catch them off-guard with the popcorn or glazed doughnut Valentine’s Day card. Just tie a bag of popcorn or flamed doughnut to a bespangled Valentine’s Day card, so that that treat doesn’t end up being more precious than your words.
