Valentine’s Day has a habit of making people overthink everything. The gift. The message. The tone. Especially the card. Because the wrong Valentine’s Day card can feel awkward, forced, or completely off brand for your relationship.
At Porky Penguin, we believe the best card is the one that sounds like you. Not who you think you should be on Valentine’s Day, but who you actually are with your partner. That’s why our Valentine’s Day cards cover everything from genuinely romantic to funny and bold, including rude Valentines cards for couples who like to keep things cheeky.
When Romantic Valentine’s Day Cards Are the Right Choice
Romantic cards don’t have to be dramatic or overly emotional to work. In fact, the simplest ones often say the most.
A card that just says “Love You More” is a perfect example. It’s confident, understated, and clear. There’s no filler. No explaining. Just a quiet statement that says I’m here, I care, and you matter to me.
This kind of romantic Valentine’s Day card works brilliantly if your partner appreciates sincerity. If they keep old cards. If they like words that feel personal rather than overdone. It’s romance without trying too hard.
Romantic cards can also be funny in a gentle, relatable way. One of our favourites thanks your partner for loving you even when you’re hangry. It works because it feels real. You’re acknowledging that relationships aren’t just dates and affection. They’re moods, low blood sugar, and someone still choosing you anyway.
That kind of humour makes the romance stronger. It says I see you, I see us, and I’m grateful for the whole picture.
These Valentine’s Day cards are ideal if you want to be affectionate while still sounding like yourself.
Funny Cards for Couples Who Lead With Laughter
If your relationship is built on banter, a traditional romantic card might feel completely wrong. You don’t communicate in soft phrases. You show affection by teasing each other and laughing together every day.
Funny Valentine’s Day cards are perfect for couples like this.
A great example is the long term relationship card that counts the exact number of days you’ve been together before finishing with a confident compliment. It’s playful, honest, and flattering without being sentimental. It says we’ve been at this a while and I still like what I see.
This kind of card works especially well for couples who have history together. It acknowledges time passing while keeping things light and affectionate.
Another popular choice is the work from home Valentine’s card that says there is nobody else you would rather work from home with. It’s modern, thoughtful, and quietly romantic. It reflects shared routines, shared space, and choosing each other even on ordinary days.
Funny cards like these work because they feel specific. They reflect real relationships rather than an idealised version of romance.
Choosing Rude Valentines Cards the Right Way
Rude Valentines cards have their place, and when they’re chosen well, they can be brilliant.
They are not about shock for the sake of it. They’re about knowing your partner well enough to understand what will make them laugh.
A bold card that playfully asks your partner to show you their camel toe is intentionally cheeky. It’s confident, flirtatious, and clearly designed for couples who enjoy pushing boundaries together.
These cards only work when there’s shared humour and trust. If both of you are comfortable with playful innuendo and confident flirting, a rude card can feel far more genuine than something overly polished.
Rude Valentines cards are best for private moments and strong connections where humour and attraction are already well established.
How to Decide Between Funny and Romantic
Choosing between funny and romantic Valentine’s Day cards doesn’t need to be complicated.
Ask yourself one simple question. Would I actually say this to them? If the answer is no, it’s probably not the right card.
If your partner would laugh first and hug you second, go funny. If they’d appreciate something simple and sincere, go romantic. And if they enjoy both, choose a card that blends humour with affection.
Also think about where the card will be read. Some cards are perfect for quiet moments together. Others might end up on display. You know your partner and your home best.
Why Cards Still Matter to Us
Cards last longer than messages. They get kept, rediscovered, and reread when you least expect it.
A good card becomes part of your shared history. It reminds your partner how you see them. Appreciated. Desired. Loved. Sometimes all at once.
That’s why at Porky Penguin we put so much care into our Valentine’s Day cards. Whether you’re shopping for romantic designs, funny messages, or bold rude Valentines cards, every card is written to feel human and honest.
Funny or romantic isn’t the real decision. Choosing something that feels true to your relationship is what matters.
If your card makes them smile, laugh, or feel genuinely valued, you’ve got it right.
