Why it works

It is about friends, neighbors and sweet things, so it suits a room where not everyone has a valentine: no square asks about dating or a spouse. A signature is quick; “What was your teddy bear’s name?” takes longer. No two cards of the same size share a line.

Made for: Friendship parties at senior centers, church socials, classrooms and offices.
