Do girls like homemade cards?

[conscience]

So Valentine's day is coming up and I'm thinking of getting my girlfriend a box of chocolates, a card, and maybe some flowers, but the thing is would girls like it if the card was just a blank card but her boyfriend had the effort to write an entire note in it about how much he loved her...or would they prefer a card bought from the store with a nice side note written inside?

I'm not the best at drawing so I don't think there will be much "decoration" on the card but I just want to make something that expresses how much I love her...but I won't write like some super cheesy poem either if I write a note. We've been dating for 2 months.

So...homemade or store-bought?

Thanks.

Oh, and the reason why the homemade idea came to mind was because she made a blank card into one of the nicest homemade cards I've seen and she gave it to me for Christmas along with a handmade bracelet :)

Hmm... 2 months- depends how close you are. If you want to be really sweet (I suggest), make a card. I got one and it was really sweet (I had been going out with that guy for about 2-4 months at that point). Store bought cards will most likely be cheesy without you're add-in message anyway. Even if your not creative, she'll appreciate your effort (you can always draw a heart if your really art-challenged). Oh, do guys? Lots of luck :)

Haha yeah she would probably think that would be sweet of me to make it...and yes...store bought cards are cheesy enough. I'll see what I can do, thanks for the advice!

I would like it homemade but it does depend on the girl.

My friend once got a card from her brother - it was a peace of college ruled note book paper folded in half. On the outside it said "card" and when you opened it it said "Happy Birthday" with a stick figure underneath it.

seeing as you say you're not good at drawing id say get her a store bought one, but to counter it, put a romantic message in it, and give her her favorite flowers and chocolates for thoughtfulness

[Lone_teen]

and when you said about the bracelet, maybe you should do something creative, even if it fails, it sounds like she would appriciate the thought more than the amount of money you spent

Said like a true man. Thanks for the advice!

Well I gave her a necklace for Christmas, I was just wondering more about the card.

[Lone_teen]

yeah, something creative would definitely carry more meaning

good luck, not that you'll need it!

that sounds super sweet but I think you should go for the store card since you've only been together for two months.

Yeah I was kinda considering the length of our relationship so I posted this question. Thanks for the advice!
