Short Valentine’s Day card messages.

Think short Valentine’s Day card messages are “meh”? Sometimes, a short yet powerful message can speak volumes, especially when you pair it with a beautifully designed card, poster, or banner. For example, design a minimalist card using clean, bold fonts, soft pastel colors, and subtle design accents. Top it off by adding a short Valentine’s Day message, which you can get from this list.

Here’s a pro tip: when making your design, think about what you’re going to use it for. If you’re planning to use it on just cards, then make it according to the exact dimensions of the card. However, if you’re also planning to use your design for larger prints like posters or banners, make sure that its resolution is high enough to fit larger formats.

• Forever and always, my Valentine.

• Love you to the moon and back!

• You + Me = Perfect Day.

• Be mine, Valentine.
