Tips for Valentine’s Day

Tips for Valentine’s Day

Below you will find some information about Valentine’s Day and tips on sending the perfect card or writing a sincere letter. It’s especially nice if you compose a loving message yourself.

The Romantic Cliché

A certain image of romance has taken root in people’s minds, and it has been mainly shaped by film culture. In romance films the motto is: the cheesier, the more romantic.

Something is sung or danced in public, posters are put up, airplane banners are flown, and it always has to be a secret until the very end. Flowers, chocolates, cards – all this is normal in movies.

Unfortunately, one thing is not considered: some people feel intimidated by so much attention and do not like surprises. So such things would be unpleasant if they’re overdone.

If you want to plan something like that for Valentine’s Day, be sure that the person it’s for will appreciate it, too. Especially if you have not known each other for very long or are not dating yet. It’s better to play it safe, than to go overboard with expressions of love.

How to Give Away Valentine’s Day Messages

How to Give Away Valentine’s Day Quotes

There are several ways to send your Valentine’s Day messages. For example, you could recite a saying or poem, include it in a love letter or write it down and frame it.

Another option is to write it in a card. You can either write something romantic on your own or use one of our examples. They can also serve as inspiration or a template for your own words. You can customize them to fit your relationship.

Valentine’s Day notes are a great addition to many gifts. Many, if not most, people are more likely to enjoy a beautiful card with a confession of love than something material without a note. That’s why, if you have a gift for him or her, you shouldn’t miss out on a small written gesture.

It’s especially nice if you customize your saying with the gift. If you’re planning to give her flowers, include flowers in your message. If you’re giving her concert tickets, the theme could be music. Of course, the same goes for women who want to please their partner.

Content of Your Valentine’s Day Message

The theme of Valentine’s Day is love, of course. Nevertheless, there are different stages, which require different words. Sometimes finding the right words for love is not as easy.

In the next section we will help you compose the perfect message, if you want to write a Valentine’s Day letter on your own. But first to the content. The following content is suitable for Valentine’s Day:

• Confessions of love.
• Unexpectedly revealing your feelings. (It doesn’t have to be a declaration of love, the fact that someone really means a lot to you is also romantic.)
• Be surprisingly honest.
• What is the most beautiful thing about your relationship?
• What is the best thing about your partner?
• How do you envision your future?

Write Your Own Valentine’s Day Quotes

Write Your Own Valentine’s Day Quotes

Writing Valentine’s Day message is the same as writing messages of love. After considering the purpose of your message, you should start brainstorming.

To do this, just randomly write down terms that come to mind. Of course, they should always have something to do with your relationship. If you don’t have any ideas off the top of your head, these guiding questions may help:

• What beautiful things have you experienced in your relationship?
• Did you take a vacation together, which has remained particularly strong in your memory?
• When did you say "I love you" for the first time?
• What did you think when you saw her/him for the first time?
• How do you imagine your future?
• How long exactly have you been together?
• Where would you like to go with him/her someday?
• What comes to your mind in general on the subject of love?

Next, you can categorize the terms you’ve collected. What belongs in the section for "experiences", what’s in the section of "future" and what is in the section "first meeting"? Of course, you can choose the categories yourself. After all, the saying should fit your relationship personally.

Now think about whether you want to use rhymes or whether you would rather write an ordinary sentence. Rhymes can help you find the best words. Choose them in advance and then think of the right context for them. Don’t worry if it takes several attempts to come up with a rhyme. Don’t put yourself under pressure and take your time.

Timing in a Relationship for Valentine’s Day Quotes

Time in a Relationship for Valentine’s Day Quotes

It’s really never too early for a romantic message. The only thing that makes a difference is the content. Of course, you shouldn’t surprise a person you just met with a sudden confession of love.

But neither should you hesitate to express your feelings while in a longterm relationship. This could hurt your partner and give them the feeling that you are neglecting them.

It nice to get a confession of love, even in a longterm relationship. Make sure you express the depth of emotions you have for your partner. Emphasize that your feelings remain strong or that they have grown stronger.

This way, you will definitely make your partner happy. It will be a pleasant surprise, especially if you’ve never celebrated Valentine’s Day in a big way.
