Tell it who the card is for, how long you have been together, and one thing only the two of you would understand: a private joke, a first date, a habit. Hemmingway writes a few lines for the inside of a Valentine's card, short enough to fit and plain enough to write in your own hand.
The message is made from your detail and nothing more. It does not know how you met or what you call each other unless you say. You sign it yourself.
What makes it work
- Match the stage you are at. Two months in, a card that reads like wedding vows is heavy to receive. Say how long it has been and the message stays level with it.
- Let the private joke carry it. One line that nobody else would understand does more than three about love in general.
- Leave white space. A card is not a letter. Three or four lines, then your name. If you have more to say, fold a page from the love letter generator inside the card.
An example
Asked for a card for a girlfriend of eight months, funny first and then sweet, with the detail that she beat you at mini golf on your first date and the scorecard is still on her fridge, a message along these lines is what to expect:
Eight months ago you beat me at mini golf, and the scorecard is still on your fridge.
I would lose to you again tomorrow.
Happy Valentine's Day. I'm so glad it was you.
Ask in the chat for a shorter one, a rhyming one, or one with less joke and more feeling.
Long marriage, a crush, or a friend
Say which it is in the first box.
- Years together: the private joke, then one thing you are grateful for and rarely mention.
- Someone you like but are not with: one warm line that is easy to smile at and easy to leave unanswered.
- A friend: say why you are glad of them.

Common questions
Is the valentine message generator free?
Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed, and this tool opens it with your answers filled in. You sign up once, and the message is written in the chat.
What do you write in a Valentine's card for a new relationship?
Keep it light and specific. Mention something from your first weeks together, say you are glad you met, and stop. Do not write anything bigger than what you have already said to each other in person.
Can it write a funny Valentine's message?
Yes. Ask for funny in the tone box and give it a real joke between you to work from. It is told to stay off stock lines, so the humour comes from your detail, not from a pun about hearts.
Will it sound like AI?
It is built not to. Hemmingway-1, the model behind it, came first on sounding like a person in our own blind test, Human-Likeness. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.
