One of the things I’ve decided to become more intentional about is sending cards and other thoughtful snail mail. I mean, who doesn’t love to get something fun in the mail that isn’t a bill or a stupid credit card offer. So, with Valentine’s Day 2020 coming up (because I’m putting these things in my calendar in advance along with birthdays etc.), I was perusing for a couple people on my list to send Valentine’s Day cards for and OH MAN….there are some really fun literary Valentine’s Day cards.
Will and I RARELY ever exchange cards anymore. But I kinda want to start doing it again even if I think they are overpriced half the time. Plus as Riley gets older I think it will be fun to exchange cards again.
I had so much fun looking through these and picking a couple out for people in my life that would appreciate good bookish Valentine’s Day cards that I thought I would share them for any of you looking for the perfect literary Valentine’s Day card for someone in your life. There’s a mixture of just beautiful love quotes from literature, bookworm humor and more!

I feel like this is the one I need to get for Will (my non book loving husband) just so he knows he still competes with those books I love so much. Probably going to have to write in Riley and Finn on there too — books, husband, kid and my dog. My biggest loves.

This is such a great idea, I’m going to send out some cards to my girlfriends for Valentine’s Day! One of my closest friends is single but I don’t want her to feel left out, and she deserves some love too. And it’ll definitely be a punny one! I love this sushi valentine’s card (https://www.papersource.com/greeting-cards/favorite-sushi-valentine-card-10002631.html) and most of the stuff from Paper Source!
I was just about to also say that my husband and I don’t exchange cards ever but I think it would be nice to, at least so he knows I am thinking of him. One of my goals this year is to be more thoughtful, so I think this would fit appropriately!
Jamie says
PAPER SOURCE! YES! Always great cards! And yeah…we always are like UGH cards are stupid and so overpriced but idk I kind of miss getting cards and giving them to him. So I decided even if *I* only do it for him…I don’t care because I want to! No hard feelings for him not to do the card exchange with me. When we DO cards they are always funny ones though lol
Arielle Hemingway says
There are SO many cute ones, omg. Basically obsessed with all of them but especially the library specific one since I’m a librarian…might have to order some of those for co-workers!
Jamie says
SO MANY! It was honestly hard to narrow down for the post lol. I thought there were SO many fun librarian ones!
Meeghan says
I LOVE the Kit Cronk cards. Last year I got the Mario Kart one for hubby, and it went down a treat!
Jamie says
OMG I KNOW! They are some of my fave cards!
Kristina says
Awww so many adorables ones !!
My faves are probably the “Im always checking you out” and “nothing beats the smell of books.. except you”
Jamie says
Right? I love the cheeky funny ones!
Josephine says
Oh man, I LOVE me a cute punny card. The Harry Potter 9 3/4 is so excellent but would likely be wasted on my poor none Potter-fan boyfriend. However, ‘you’re my favourite non-fictional person’ is adorable.
Kyra Morris says
THESE ARE LITERALLY THE CUTEST. *_*
Erica Robyn says
These are all so wonderful! I LOVE getting cards in the mail <3 I may have to order some of these for friends!
