Thoughtful Valentine’s Day Cards for Everyone

Sometimes we need a little reminder that we are loved, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express that love to all the people in your life. A Valentine’s Day card isn’t just a card sent anonymously on February 14 to a person you admire. It’s an occasion to show loved ones in your life how you feel, to cherish and relive shared memories, and to reflect on the wonders of love. It’s a chance to appreciate your long-time friends, spouse, children, parents, grandparents, boyfriend or girlfriend, mentors, and even coworkers. And what better way to do that than with a card that features a special photo that puts your love on full display?

Whether you are looking for an individual greeting card or a set of Valentine’s Day photo cards, Minted makes it easy to find the right card for everyone you are thinking of. From romantic to funny, bold, or botanical, Minted can help you pick and personalize a card that perfectly captures your type of love.

Unique Valentine’s Day Photo Card Styles

There are so many reasons to fall in love with Minted Valentine’s Day cards. Why? Because all of our designs are made with love by our network of talented independent artists from across the globe. Each year, our artists submit their Valentine’s Day designs to us through online competitions and the top-voted designs are then sold on our site — making for a collection of truly swoon-worthy Valentine’s Day cards that you won’t find anywhere else.

Use the “bold & typographical” filter to find cards featuring striking elements, including large handwritten fonts and heavy lettering. These designs also look great if you’re looking to add a bit of lovely glow with foil pressed details.
• Botanical: If loving feels as natural to you as breathing, click on the “botanical” filter to explore designs featuring colorful floral and garden elements. From butterfly and bumblebee illustrations to beautiful greenery, these botanical designs will frame your personalized Valentine’s Day cards through a natural and radiant lens.

Add your Photos and Personalize Your Valentine’s Day Cards

We know that there are infinite ways to love someone, so there’s nothing generic about our selection of Valentine’s Day cards. To make the cards you send to your nearest and dearest even more special, Minted offers a suite of easy-to-use tools to help customize your favorite design to be a personal reflection of your heart.

Add your name alongside Cupid’s arrows, change the shape of the card into a sweet heart, and let your creativity take the wheel. Here are just some of the ways you can make your card uniquely you.

• Photo Selection: Make your Valentine’s Day card come to life with one, two, three, or more photos. Simply upload your photos to the customization tool and drop them into the different photo blocks to view how they appear framed in our artistic designs. You can even drag and drop your photos from one box to the next as you figure out the perfect placement and arrangement for each cherished image. Even if you pick a design that is text-heavy, you can add photos (and a special message) to the back of your card using one of our many backer layouts.
• Card Shape: EMake your card stand out from the crowd by swapping a standard rectangular silhouette for a unique heart-, arch-, or gift tag-shaped design. If you don’t want to go with a completely unexpected shape, you can still give your card a softer feel with rounded or scalloped borders. You can also choose between a flat or folded card depending on where you’d like to write a more personalized Valentine message to each recipient.
• Colors: Modifying the colors is a great way to make the design fit with the aesthetic you love or to better match the photos you are featuring. Toggle between the colored icons to see how your favorite design appears with a different color scheme. Once you’ve found a palette you like, customize your selection further by choosing between different font colors for the text on the front and back of the card.
• Foil-Pressed: f you’d like to add a little shimmer to your design, opt to add “custom foil text” to your card. Foil colors include red, gold, glittery gold, rose gold, silver, glittery silver, ice blue, bronze, strawberry, and amethyst. Show your Valentine some extra love with a touching message that literally sparkles!
• Paper Type: Each one of Minted’s cards is printed with the finest inks on luxurious stocks to give you quality you can feel. When making your paper choice, choose between Smooth Signature, Signature, Recycled, Pearlescent, Doublethick, or Triplethick cardstocks.
• Design on Back: Add a little bit more love to your card by customizing the back with stylized designs that include more photos or watercolor elements. You can even choose from various text layouts to feature family news such as a new home announcement, pet update, a birth announcement, or even a special family Valentine's recipe.
• Envelope Colors: Once you’re happy with your card design, the next step is to package it in style! Choose from envelope colors including white for a classic look, speckletone kraft for a rustic feel, or silver for an elegant touch. Or, lean fully into the Valentine’s Day fun with a blush or ruby red envelope. You can even choose from a designed, silver, gold, or rose gold liner to add an extra special touch to your envelope.
• Recipient Addressing: Next, make the envelope radiate from the outside by adding a free stylized address format that compliments your selected card design. Pick an address design you love from options that feature red hearts, Cupid’s arrows, “X’s” and “O’s”, cute animals, and other classic Valentine’s Day iconography. Once you’ve made your selection, simply upload your addresses and let us do the work for you.

Photo Ideas

Each of our Valentine’s Day photo cards are designed to showcase a photo that radiates the warm and fuzzy feelings the holiday brings. So how can you pick the perfect picture? Here are our top tips

• Couple Photo: Are you recently married or engaged? Valentine’s Day cards are the perfect way to display a photo from your special moment. From a photo of the proposal or a snapshot at the altar, share your experience with loved ones. This is also a great opportunity to showcase a special snap from a recent anniversary, bucket-list trip, or a glimpse into your life at home together. If this is far from your first Valentine’s Day with your significant other, reminisce on old times and share a throwback photo of you and your loved one for your Valentine’s anniversary!
• Family Pictures: Maybe you recently did a photo shoot with your family or took a snapshot while on vacation. Take this opportunity to share your family photo with friends and loved ones. And of course, pets count too. So if you have a recent photo of your beloved animal, don’t forget to feature them in your design as well!
• Just the Kiddos: It’s okay if the parents in the family are camera-shy and you only have a photo of the kids. Why not share a photo of the siblings to showcase that brotherly or sisterly love? Or perhaps you recently had a child. Take the opportunity to share a photo of your precious newborn.

Wishes and Messages on the Valentine’s Day Cards

Just as there is no single way to love someone, there is no special formula for a Valentine message. The key is to write from the heart, but often our hearts have so much to say that parsing it down to just a few meaningful words is hard. To find the right words to say, start by reminiscing on past times spent with your loved one and what those memories mean to you. You can also think about all the things you love about that person or how grateful you are to have them in your life.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• You’re the bright spot in my day, every day.
• It never gets boring loving you.
• There’s no one I’d rather share a heart-shaped pizza with than you.
• I love coming home to you.
• I choose you. And I’ll choose you over and over and over. I’ll always keep choosing you.
• Near or far, know how loved you are.
• I’m so glad we can count on eachother.
• Happy Valentine's Day to one of my favorite people ever.
• I love you to the moon and back a million times over.
• Happy Valentine's Day to one sweet kid/friend/family/etc.
• I hope your day is filled with reminders of how much you are loved.
• I think you are the most beautiful person inside and out, and I hope you know it, too.
