There’s something heady about sending out a stack of gorgeous photo cards to everyone you love. That’s the beauty of sending out an annual Valentine’s Day greeting card. It’s like a seed-bomb of love that you lob over a fence to bring little bursts of happiness wherever they land. But there’s also a time and a place for a special custom Valentine created for one specific person. Skip the macaroni art, crumbly candy hearts and construction paper, and get creative with what really matters: loving words and photos that exude lots of warmth and affection along with inside jokes and meaningful references.
One Custom Valentine for Your One True Love Creating a photo book for your girlfriend, boyfriend, partner or spouse is a great way to really showcase a series of fantastic photos – and convey your most heartfelt reflections on what your love means to you. But you can also create a mini version in the form of a card. Choose however many photos you want – a single portrait or a collage of shots that capture a 360˚ look at who you are together – then include a quote that’s special to you or a few words that summarize how much you care. Consider using one side of your card to tackle the deep, serious stuff and the other side to have a little fun with humor. My goal is usually to get my husband to get all schmoopy with the sappy stuff and then go in for a one-two punch of the lighthearted variety. There’s nothing better than sharing a little laugh-cry with your favorite person in the world.
