Valentine's Day photo cardThis Valentine’s Day photo card will be a big surprise for the family and friends of this soon-to-be family of four. They decided to use one of our perfect Valentine photo card ideas to announce a new baby on the way.

Jennifer, the expectant mom, explains, “I decided to do a Valentine’s Day card because giving them out as a child was always something I looked forward to doing. I have done it often as an adult for coworkers, friends and family, though a photo valentine will be a first. I think this will be my best ever! What could define love better than a growing family?”

Jennifer created a big pink heart printed with the baby’s due date to hold in the photo, along with another heart that said “Big Sis” for her daughter to hold. We love how their photo ties in with the hearts strung across the top of the Blissful Heart Banner Valentine’s postcard. Of course, the “Please deliver to” message on the address side of the postcard couldn’t be more perfect.

Only a few friends and immediate family are in on the secret, so it should be a huge surprise for everyone else who receives it. “Hopefully it will make them smile,” says Jennifer. “I can’t wait for the calls to follow!”

Kid Valentine cardsIt’s not just a valentine. It’s a puppet! It’s a plane! It’s a lollipop holder! Handing out valentines at school is a lot more fun when your valentine does something nobody else’s does. We had just one thought in mind when designing Pear Tree’s Valentine’s Day collection this year—what would kids love to get their hands on?

A card that holds a treat seems to solve two problems at once: whether to hand out a card or a treat, and how to attach your card to the candy if you want to hand out both. Our Love and Lips Candy Valentines and Stylish Mustache Valentines have a little hole punched through them, so kids can insert a lollipop. The cards are personalized with their name, so there’s no need to sign each one. Perfect for parents, too!

kids Valentine's Day cardKids will also love the Up and Away Airplane Valentines Day Cards, which they can either fold before handing out, or let their friends do the honors. They’ll have fun watching, as their valentines take flight.

Other finger puppet valentines include an elephant, bunny and caterpillar. Just wait till you see our interactive kids’ valentine card ideas for 2012—we think they are some of our best valentines yet!

Valentine Photo Ideas: Think Pink

Valentine's Day photo shootAre you thinking of sending a custom valentine that friends and family will love? There’s one simple thing you can do to make your photos pop: use props!

Since most Valentine’s Day photo cards share a palette of pinks and reds, adding a shot of pink or red to your photo is a fun way to tie your photo into the card design. A cute prop, such as a big candy heart or a flower that matches the colors in your card, makes it look like the card and photo were meant for each other.

Less is more, when it comes to props. One eye-catching spot of color will have the most impact. If you have more than one person in your photo, one prop per person is a good rule of thumb. To make the props stand out even more, dress your subjects in neutral colors.

You can also take the opposite approach and use clothing or simple accessories to add punch to your valentine photo ideas. For boys, try a bow tie or hat. For girls, a hair bow or ribbon. A piece of clothing, such as a red shirt, sweater or dress, will achieve the same effect. You can’t go wrong when you think pink!
