Tips for writing it
Friend Valentines are all about appreciation and fun. Mention a moment where they showed up for you, an inside joke, or a tradition you share. Keep it clearly platonic if there’s any chance of confusion; words like “bestie” or “friend” help.
Galentine’s Day is traditionally February 13, which in 2027 is a Saturday, and Valentine’s Day is Sunday, February 14. That makes it an easy weekend for brunch or a movie night with friends, and a card is a great way to invite them.
