Valentine’s Day is an annual celebration that celebrates love, affection, and friendship usually between companions or very intimate friends. It falls on February 14th of every year. It is traditionally a day where people express their love for one another by giving gifts, usually flowers, candy and cards.You can also express your love for friends and family by sending out Valentines, just to let people know you are thinking of them.
Step 1: List out all friends, family and co-workers that you wish to send Valentines remembrances out to. Be sure that you have everyone’s home or work addresses and that they are current and up to date.
Step 2: Depending on your list of people, you may choose to send out your Valentines in a number of different ways. You can purchase greeting cards, send e-greetings online, bake cookies or candy, send flowers, etc.
