Valentine's Day bring back memories of elementary school — agonizing over the perfect set of cards and the perfect greeting for besties and crushes alike. Even though it's been quite some time since I've handed out a set of notes on Feb. 14, my stationery kick led me on a virtual love hunt for pretty prints.
Lucky for both of us, there are plenty of cute choices on Etsy, so I've rounded up my favorites in a widget below to offer some ideas for selecting cupid's calling cards of your very own.

I know that 71 percent of you call yourselves "pet parents," so I can only assume you'll understand my adoration for these new doggie cards, which just happen to look a lot like birth announcements for babies.
The front side of Modern Pet's Dog Announcements and Cat Cards offer space for your latest addition's name, date adopted, weight, and breed. The back side of the postcards are blank, so you can include a personal note about how much you love your new furry friend. A set of five cards and envelopes costs $11.
I'm always putting words in North's mouth – and love sharing his take (or my take on his take) with my friends and all of you! I know I'm not the only pet owner who pampers my pal by giving him a voice, but finding any old card to capture his thoughts can be tricky to come by. That's where Sincerely, Fido comes in – they've got greetings from pets to other pets or to people and include the funny (like neutering consolations!) to the sweet. There's something for your pet's special moments and now (through Dec. 31) they're offering an exclusive discount to PetSugar readers like you! Just use code PS10E408 at checkout to receive 10 percent off anything you buy (before tax and shipping)!
I have a friend whose dog is celebrating his birthday this month, and I'm having a heck of a time finding a card to suit the occasion. I've seriously scoured the greeting card section in all of the shops within a mile radius of my apartment, but none fit for a puppy's second birthday. Fancy that, right? Thankfully, I found Sincerely, Fido who specialize in greeting cards just for pets. From welcoming a new kitty into your home to graduation cards when your best pal's pup finishes obedience school, they've got almost everything in between. You can even find cards from animals to animals . . . with your choosing help, of course. Although they can't be found in stores (yet), with a bit of advance planning, you can pick 'em up online!
