Design: Signature Greenvelope
You love your good friends and family members all year round, but Valentineâs Day helps you hone in on that love, joy, and gratitude. If youâre wondering whether to send Valentine’s cards to your pals this year, here are a handful of reasons to do it.
1. Express Gratitude
There are so many times of year that remind us to be thankful. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and Valentineâs Day are all ideal times to reflect on what weâre grateful for. Use this Valentineâs Day as the perfect opportunity to share some of that gratitude and love with your best friends.Â
Send them a Valentineâs card all about friendship and love, or leave them a sweet note on their social media page. There are lots of great ways to share those warm, fuzzy feelings with your closest friends. Center your message around being thankful for having them in your life, or reflect on a moment that youâve enjoyed together for a sweet expression of your gratitude.
2. Make Them Smile
Valentineâs Day can be tough for some. Maybe your friend has just gone through a breakup or theyâre missing a love lost too soon. It might also simply be a challenging time for them in general. Take a moment to cheer them up and bring some warmth with an uplifting Valentine message.Â
If you know your friend will find this holiday difficult for any reason, give them a new reason to find joy in it. Personalize a digital card and fill it with heartfelt words about how much they mean to you, or keep it simple with a short text message to say theyâre in your thoughts. What matters most isnât the medium or the length of your wording â itâs that youâre there to support them.
3. Celebrate Your Singleness Together
February 14th can feel like a painful or awkward date if youâre not cozied up to a partner or new love. Whether or not your pal is happy about being single, consider this an opportunity to declare all the amazing benefits of not having a love interest right now â and celebrate together!Â
You donât need to have a romantic Valentineâs Day for it to count. Turn it into Galentineâs Day and treat your best friend to a day of shopping, relaxing, delicious food, and co*cktails. Surprise them with a Valentineâs card with an upbeat message all about the benefits of being single and how youâll always be a âtrue loveâ for each other.Â
4. Share the Joy of Love
While the spotlight is on romantic love during Valentineâs Day, thatâs not the only kind of love out there. Writing Valentine messages for friends is an ultra-fun way to celebrate the official day of love and all that it means for you.
Plan and host a Valentineâs Day party and invite your closest friends or customize and send out Valentineâs cards filled with your favorite Valentineâs Day quotes. However you celebrate, itâs a beautiful day for sharing joy with those who matter most.
