30 Sweet, Romantic Valentine’s Day Cards That Say “I Love You” (2024)

Most V-Day cards are bright red and pink, but the gold foil heart on this one is sophisticated and elegant. And the inside contains a gorgeous continuation of the message on the front: “Today. Tomorrow. Always.”

If you aren’t able to give flowers to your valentine, send them the next best thing: a pop-up bouquet card. It’s technically a card, too—a blank sheet is included so you can add whatever message you desire.

This card starts with a simple design—“love you” printed with a series of red hearts—but when opened, the lovely pop-up design wishes the recipient a happy V-Day (and a note that says “just a reminder that you are loved”). Sweet and simple!

Is your relationship courtesy of a dating app or site? You need this card, which tells it like it is. The inside is completely blank, so you can fill it with all the reasons why you love your valentine.

You send end-of-year holiday cards to everyone, so why not send a bulk Valentine’s card to everyone, too? This gorgeous design comes courtesy of one of the many artists on Minted, and you can personalize the shape, size, and colors.

Is your valentine your missing piece...or just really into jigsaw puzzles? Get them this card, which says “You complete me” on the inside.

Have you ever seen a cuter card? This one’s for the dog lovers, pizza fanatics, and your very sweet valentine. They’ll eat it right up—even if it is, admittedly, very cheesy.

One last set of cards that is great for Valentine’s Day without being too Valentine’s Day specific—and featuring none other than Snoopy. He’s holding a set of balloons that say “Love” (which we love), and each box comes with 20 cards and their corresponding envelopes.

Sometimes classic is best, and this floral and cursive card has peak Valentine’s charm. The foil-stamped design and matching gold foil envelope are super classy, too, so your valentine will really know you care.

On the other hand, you could just send the real thing (even if it’s not technically a card—although it does come with a spot to personalize). This bouquet is full of blooms like snapdragons, roses, and delphinium—a super-romantic blend that will definitely please any recipient.

Here’s another great option if you want cards that’ll work for V-Day and then some. The set comes with 12 cards (plus their corresponding envelopes) in adorable love-themed patterns and colors—but you can totally use them any time of year.

Another great pop-up card that your valentine will want to keep forever, this one features a display of hearts that says “love you” and “Happy Valentine’s Day.” It’s sweet and simple while still showing you care.

They may be a polarizing fashion choice, but this Crocs card will definitely make your valentine smile. The inside comes blank, but you can have it personalized with any message you want. Plus, it comes in biodegradable packaging.

Need Valentine’s Day cards for a whole bunch of people? This funky yet gorgeous set has five different designs, all of which tell the recipient that you love them. And who wouldn’t be happy hearing how big their heart is?

If you’re looking for a card that’s a little less ~romantic~, this set of two has you covered. On the inside, the smiling chip card says, “In queso you didn’t know, you’re awesome” and the dino guy says, “It’s more than it looks like” (even if his tiny T. rex arms make it look small).

So words of affirmation aren’t exactly your love language. That’s okay—you can still share some V-Day love with your partner or bestie by sending this card instead of the super-mushy alternatives. It comes on recycled paper and from a small business that donates 5 percent of profits to positive organizations.

The valentines who love to display their cards on a desk or windowsill will particularly enjoy this one. It comes flat, but they can pop it open to showcase the lovely design (and the back has a sweet message just for them).

This card is great if you want to acknowledge that you love someone but aren’t into the standard Valentine’s Day style. It’s also a good one if the receiver lives far away and you can’t actually give them a hug. Plus, the empty interior gives you space to sing their praises.

Any Valentine with a sweet tooth will appreciate these cards—which look good enough to eat. The fronts have (literally) sweet food puns, and the backs have "to" and "from" spots for names (perfect for handing out to elementary school classmates).

Got a big Disney fan on your hands? This card will give them heart eyes. It features a pop-up of Mickey and Minnie (leaning in for a sweet smooch) and says “From my heart to yours” on the front. You can add a personalization for just $5, too.
