Valentine's Day provides a magnificent opportunity to express your affection for that special someone in your life. Whether you want to re-kindle the romantic flame with your spouse or surprise your fiance or someone you're courting, you can send your message of love easily and at low cost via e-mail using e-cards. Of course, Valentine's e-cards aren't meant to replace gifts, chocolates or the usual candlelight dinner, but they can be sent as a teaser for what lies ahead on this most romantic day of the year.



How It Works

If you're new to e-cards, sending them is easier than you might think. You'll visit an e-card website, preferably one that offers a wide variety of Valentine's Day themes. At the website, you'll browse the e-card selection and then choose the one that works for you. Some sites offer free e-cards or a free trial. Also, you can purchase low-cost annual memberships to gain access to a broader selection of e-cards. A membership site can be beneficial if you want to send e-cards to friends and loved ones throughout the year. You'll have access to thousands of birthday e-cards, Christmas e-cards, Thanksgiving e-cards, anniversary e-cards, Halloween e-cards, wedding e-cards, and many others.

Once you select an e-card, you'll be directed to follow the quick and easy steps to customize it. Add your recipient's name and e-mail address and then send the e-card. Your recipient will receive a notification by e-mail letting them know you have sent an e-card. They must click a link and visit the website to open their e-card online. You'll also receive a confirmation by e-mail once the e-card has been viewed. If you don't, you'll want to e-mail your recipient to be sure they received it. The e-mail may have been blocked by their account or sent to a junk e-mail folder.

Personalize Your E-cards

Valentine's e-cards can be customized and personalized, enabling you to find that perfect e-card for your lover. If he/she enjoys a certain hobby, there are thousands of e-cards based on hobbies, from sewing to hunting to golf to extreme sports. For women, e-cards featuring her favorite color of roses or her favorite song will suffice. For men, check out e-cards featuring themes from the outdoors or his favorite sport. On the lighter side, there are comical Valentine's Day e-cards to make your sweetheart start their day with a laugh.

While creating an e-card, you'll be given a space to type in a personalized message. Think of something romantic such as a poem or love letter. Or, reveal a surprise date or dinner within your message. Send the e-card to their work e-mail to give them something to look forward to after work. If writing a poem, be sure to limit it to a couple of lines so you'll be able to fit the entire poem into the message field.
