Etiquette
A short history of the digital greeting card, and where it goes next

Valentine's Day eCards
Valentine's Day eCards should reach the person before lunch — the morning-of-the-14th text with a beautifully designed card is, for many couples and friends, the entire holiday. CardWave's Valentine's set covers the romantic, the platonic, and the silly, all sized for screens and sharing.
Every Valentine's Day card on this page is a shareable digital eCard — built to be sent by text, email, WhatsApp, or DM and to look right on a phone screen the moment the recipient opens the link. Pick by visual style if you already know the mood you want, or by the person you are sending to if you are clearer on the relationship than the design.
The CardWave Valentine's Day set covers 72 templates across 6 design styles and 6 recipient voices. Each card page includes a long, medium, and short version of the message, plus practical guidance on how to send the card digitally — through SMS, email, group chat, or as a social share. For deeper background on how to write a valentine's day message, our wording guide walks through openers, closers, and what to do when you are stuck.

Writing a Valentine's Day message
A good valentine's day message names the person, names a specific reason, and stops before it gets long. The card design carries the mood — the words just have to be true. If you are not sure how to start, our wording guide walks through openers, closers, and what to do when you are stuck.
For sending, paste the card URL into the same channel where you usually message this person. The link unfurls into a clean preview in iMessage, Android Messages, WhatsApp, Slack, and most email clients. For social sharing, every CardWave card thumbnail is sized for both Instagram Stories (1080×1920) and feed posts (1080×1080).
