is it ok for women to send men cards?

can you send your wife a card?

i havnt taken any notice of the whole thing for years so i dont know what it really means these days.

Answer 1

Valentines should always be anonymous.
There's no difference between age groups.
It is OK for women to send them
Men MUST send their wife a valentines card (if you value your family jewels).

Answer 2

Yes there is a difference. Young woman below 25 usually prefer gifts to cards. It is OK for women to send cards. You can send your wife a card. Sending anonymously depends on who you are send it too. If it is a wife, it's OK to send it from "Your anonymous admirer" If it is too someone who doesn't know that you have feelings for her then leave a clue of some sort. With a romantic name like Romeo. If in doubt just write from a close admirer. It's a safe answer.

Answer 3

These days I wouldn't send it anonymously (too many stalkers); The difference in age groups is that junior high, etc boys don't send cards, they MAY get a girl candy or stuffed animal, but rarely cards. Older people tend to get cards and possibly flower but nothing else. I'm 46, married, 4 kids I love my husband's cards but other than that I don't want anything. Valentine's, like every other holiday has become far too commercialized. I would rather him get me a single rose as opposed to shelling out $60 on flowers. The most important thing to me is the time and attention I get (just watching tv together uninterrupted that's a gift to me).

Answer 4

Valentine's day is more popular between young people, but most couples young and old go out on Valentine's day. It is okay for women to send men cards, you SHOULD give your wife a card, flowers, chocolate, wine, and treat her amazingly (be very romantic), etc. If you like someone and haven't told them, sending them a Valentine's Day card is a good way to find out how they feel. If they're thrilled, then chances are they like you. If not, then...well, you get the idea. Anonymous is tricky, because some girls just like to be in love, and be adored, and there's a risk that if you do a secret admirer thing, and she finds out it's you, she may not be thrilled, or she may have thought it was someone else.

Answer 5

You should definitely send your wife a card. And I would think if you're married you shouldn't be sending any love notes to anyone else....

perfectly acceptable for women to send men cards.

The History of Valentine's Day

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
