Make the Message Sound Like You
Read your choice aloud before sending it. If you’ve never called her sweetheart, use her name. A straightforward sentence in your own voice is better than an elaborate one you’d feel strange saying.
For a card, follow the message with one thing you remember from your time together. If you want more room than a short text allows, these love paragraphs for her offer a longer format.
