A few days from now and Cupid is certainly going around with his arrow to strike couples everywhere. Florists are doubling their stuff,How to Avoid Striking Out on Valentine’s Articles and men and women everywhere are going gaga for the most awaited event for couples.

Yeah! It is Valentine’s Day!

What is so wonderful about Valentine’s Day is that almost everyone has his or her creative spirit out, trying to go over and beyond with what is expected of him or her this season of the hearts. Certainly, a lot of people will try to show their affection in extraordinary ways.

In addition, if I know you, you are probably sweating it out right now, looking for the perfect gift to give to your significant other. What is more special than a dinner-for-two at a pricey restaurant? A spontaneous and sweet serenade for your beloved? On the other hand, what about homemade print greeting cards that can heighten the mood on this very special day?

As romance should be as natural and impulsive, having your very own greeting card printing done for your loved one is indeed sweet and unexpected. Not so mainstream at all.

Here then are a few sexy pointers for your greeting card printing to keep the love flowing this Valentine’s Day:

DO NOT follows the herd. As humans, we have this predilection to follow the behavior of others. Most people love to do what other people would do on this special day. So instead of purchasing, print greeting cards off-the-rack and getting your loved one a generic message, go to the extreme and create a card that says exactly what you feel. Go over the edge and pair your greeting card with a ring to signify your commitment. She will just go crazy when she sees your other present.

DO NOT be shy to bring in the baling. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Therefore, if it is time for your relationship to go one step further, put a ring design to your greeting card and pop the question. She will probably be so surprised that she will say ‘yes’ instantly.

DO NOT be a cliché. Clichés are for lazy people. Do not be part of the cult. Add something unique to your greeting card printing. Differentiate your relationship from the others. Include not-so-ordinary flower designs in your cards. Not the usual red roses please. In addition, think outside the box – or should I say, chocolate box. If you still want to complement your print greeting card with a box of chocolates, why not go for something different instead. Like taffy for example.

Moreover, DO get crafty with your print greeting cards. Nothing beats something done by you personally. It is fun and easy; and it sends out a message to your loved one that you care enough to send the very best – a greeting card made out of your love, sweat and effort.

In addition, if the homemade print greeting cards do not work, you can always go back to baking a special Valentine’s cake or a candlelit dinner perhaps.
