Valentine’s Day Cards are special cards handed out on Valentine’s Day to one’s significant other or the person one likes. On the internet, these cards are often combined with internet culture for a humorous effect.
Background
Valentine’s Day[1] is an annual event that takes place each year on February 14 and is celebrated in most countries around the world. The day itself is dedicated to romance and love, and serves as an occasion in which lovers express their feelings for each other by presenting gifts and greeting cards. Although valentine’s day cards were originally handwritten, they have given way to mass-produced greeting cards since the 19th century.
The rise of Internet popularity at the turn of the millennium has generated new traditions for Valentine’s day, with many people using the digital highway as a way to create and send Valentine’s Day messages such as e-cards, love coupons or printable greeting cards.
