While growing up, Valentine\u2019s Day wasn\u2019t just a time when lovers exchanged gifts and crushes revealed themselves to each other. It was a day when my family celebrated love. We all exchanged gifts. We hugged a little more. We ate tons of heart-shaped chocolates. We told each other exactly why we loved each other so much.<\/p>\n

Today, my family continues that heart-warming tradition, sending Valentine\u2019s Day cards to family and friends both near and far. We choose cards that we know will make each person feel extra happy, extra cherished, and extra special.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 animated Valentine\u2019s Day Cards that will make your loved ones\u2019 hearts go pitter patter:<\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Texts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes emojis say exactly what I\u2019m trying to say even better than words do. Like the smiley face with the hearts in his eyes. Or the smiley face blowing a side kiss. I have a few dear friends who I text and Whatsapp with all the time, and our messages are filled with emojis that bring me little bolts of joy throughout the day. This is the perfect Valentine\u2019s Day card<\/a> to send to them to let them know how much I love our daily virtual check-ins!<\/p>\n

Favorite Valentine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

How often do you tell your spouse how much he or she means to you? In my house, we say I love you at least once a day, but with a child, work, errands, and everything else in life, we\u2019re too busy to really tell each other what that means to each of us. Creating a custom card<\/a> enables me to express exactly what I want to tell my husband \u2014 you\u2019re my one, my only, my everything, my favorite person.<\/p>\n

 Love Bomb<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Have you ever been love bombed? No? Well, it\u2019s the best kind of bomb to land in your inbox! When I was in high school, my friend and I called everything we liked \u201cthe bomb.\u201d She sent me this Valentine’s card because she knew it would bring back sweet memories.<\/p>\n

Valentine Zoo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My son is obsessed with animals, and I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s only a few days away from asking for a pet. My fingers are crossed that he\u2019ll ask for a fish and not a dog just yet. When my son saw this card, he claimed it as his own. We added a few photos of him along with a cute message that he created, and sent it off to his grandparents. Of course, they loved it!<\/p>\n

Tiles of Love<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When my mom and dad were first married \u2014 pre-Facebook, iPads, and Netflix \u2014 they spent many nights playing Scrabble. So cute, right? But don\u2019t think they didn\u2019t play to win! For my mom, this card brought back lovely memories from their early days of love, so she sent it to my dad. She included a photo of the two of them from their twenties, and also from today. It was a beautiful way to show how long their love has endured.<\/p>\n

My Heart Belongs to You<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If TV shows from the 1950s make you feel all warm and fuzzy, then this is the card for you. The beginning of this card looks like the opening credits from an old-time show, and then transforms into a stunning pop-up display. In the end, a darling photo of the loving couple is revealed.  Awww.<\/p>\n

Love Languages<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before my husband and I travel to a new country, he spends a good chunk of time immersing himself in the local language. He switches his computer commands from English to the new language, downloads language learning apps, and listens to local music while reading the lyrics. This is the perfect card for a language lover like him \u2014 and I sent it to him last year!<\/p>\n

Gilded Hearts Slideshow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is such a sweet and simple card \u2014 from the delightful piano tune to the colorful bouncing hearts. My friend, who always has such a hard time picking out cards for different occasions, immediately fell in love with this one because she knew that it would bring a smile to her boyfriend\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

Chalkboard Romance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My sister-in-law is a teacher, and her clothes, furniture, and car are constantly covered with chalk. After writing with it all day, she can\u2019t help but take it home with her. My brother and their kids always tease her about it. But on Valentine\u2019s Day, my brother put a fun spin on her chalky presence with this adorable card. He added photos of the two of them together, with the entire family, and one with my sister as master of her domain \u2014 in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Love Doodles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Remember when you were in middle school and would endlessly doodle the name of your crush in the margins of your loose leaf paper? And then how you\u2019d transform the name into flowers or coffee cups or 3-D boxes so that no one would see? We\u2019ve all been there! This adorable card reminds me of those times.<\/p>\n
