I used to overthink Valentine’s Day messages. I’d sit there with a card in front of me, pen hovering, trying to come up with something that sounded perfect. Too cheesy? Not romantic enough? Does this even make sense?
Then one year, my husband told me his favorite Valentine’s card I ever gave him was the one where I just wrote, “You’re my favorite person. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Simple, honest, from the heart. That’s when I realized the best wishes aren’t the most elaborate ones. They’re the ones that feel real.
Whether you’re writing to your partner, your best friend, your kids, or that person you just started dating, the right words can make someone’s entire day. Sometimes you need something deeply romantic. Other times, you want something lighthearted and fun. And sometimes, you’re just trying to let someone know they’re loved and appreciated.
Here are 70 happy Valentine’s Day wishes for every relationship and every vibe. Use them as inspiration, copy your favorite, or mix and match to create something that’s perfectly you.
