Awkwardly Rambling Romantic Cards

Share How You Feel with These Hilarious Valentine's Day Cards

Illustrator Emily McDowell has created a series of hilarious Valentine's Day cards that are sure to get that special someone of yours laughing so much they'll forget all about the fact that you forgot to get them an actual gift.

McDowell's cards are handmade and perfectly capture the weird and often awkward way twenty-somethings go about expressing their emotions. The wobbly nature of the lettering as if written by an unsteady hand and the way the words constantly change size and then begin to trail off towards the end, give these cards a personality that you won't find in your typical greeting cards.

Some of Emily's other hilarious Valentine's Day cards use graphs and pictures to capture the Valentine sentiment you're trying to convey but are having difficulty putting in your own words.
