cards

If anything could make the romantic holiday of chocolate, amour, and flowers better, it would be '90s nostalgia. We were on the hunt for witty valentines that expressed love and friendship sentiments with references to some of the songs, TV shows, fashion, and games we gushed over in the '90s. And when we couldn't find exactly what we were looking for, we decided to make them ourselves! If you, too, want to have a Valentine's Day that pays homage to the decade of the Spice Girls and Skip-It, check out our DIY '90s valentines! And if you want to share them, click on the links included for free printables.
