Tips on writing a meaningful card
Hi friends!
Currently, I’m preparing for Valentine’s Day (the 6th one I’ll be celebrating with my now-husband, Daniel). It’s a beautiful sight, but a lot of hard work. And one of the most cherished parts of our day is exchanging gifts and cards.
Here are some of my best tips for writing a card that your lover will cherish for years to come:
Start with a heart of thankfulness for what they mean to you + all the wonderful ways they make your life beautiful and special.
Write down specific praise for them. “Darling, when you go grocery shopping for me, I feel so thankful for your kindness. You demonstrate care for me with your thoughtfulness in shopping, and I feel like the luckiest lady in the world.”
Tell them all those little “but they know that!” things - “You make my life better.” “I am so proud to be yours.” “Making you happy is my delight.” “You are the world to me.” “I am so happy I married you.”
Sign off the card with a heartfelt phrase appropriate to your thankfulness and love. “Your adoring wife, Amy” “Your faithful servant, Daniel” (yes, that’s how we sign our cards) 🥰
You can use these tips for writing cards to others as well, tweaking the wording but keeping the same structure of praise, thankfulness, specificity, and heartfelt phrases.
