How to send a personal last minute Valentine anywhere in the world for free

February 14th, 2008

Valentine’s Day is here and you still haven’t found that perfect and personal card. Or maybe your Valentine is far away and you’re too late to mail a card anyway. Even if you haven’t gotten a card for your mom, your sweetheart, or just a friend, you’re still in luck. What do you do? Use qipit!

Maybe you’ve already thought about using one of the many electronic cards that are available? As clever as some of them can be, they aren’t very personal. How personal can an e-card, that thousands of other people will also receive, really be? And doesn’t it look like you decided to send it at the last minute anyway? So why not send a Valentine’s Day qipit even if you’ve already sent the clever electronic Valentine card? There is nothing more personal than your handwriting.

For those of you who’ve found yourselves in a last minute pinch, we’ve provided a few fun templates that you can print out in color, fill with a heartfelt, handwritten message, and then send via qipit. It’s fun, it’s unique, and it’s more personal than any of those leftover snail mail cards you’ll find at your local convenience store. And the beauty of sending a qipit is that you can say exactly what you want to say and you can send it instantly. This could be a really nice idea for your Valentines who may not be nearby. Isn’t your mother always complaining that you never write to her? So get creative! Tell your mom how much you miss her cooking. If romance is on your agenda, send that special someone you just can’t get to in person a drawing of a heart, a hand written poem, or something that is special between the two of you. Create your best Top 10 list of reasons the recipient should be your Valentine. Make reason #1 read, “I cared enough to create and send a truly unique and personal Valentine’s Day greeting using qipit.” Well, maybe not, but you get the idea.

How To Send a Last Minute Valentine using Qipit

  1. Register for a free Qipit account, if you don’t already have one
  2. Create your Valentine on paper or a whiteboard. If you’d like, use one of our templates, but it’s not necessary
  3. Take a picture of your Valentine creation with a megapixel camera phone (equipped with auto-focus or macro mode for the template) or a digital camera
  4. Turn the picture into a qipit Valentine by sending the picture to color@qipit.com via email, as an attachment, or via your camera phone, as an MMS

Tip: Enter your Valentine’s email address in the subject line of the MMS if you want to send it directly from your camera phone, other wise you can send it as an email or link from the web interface. If you need additional help on making a clear qipit, checkout this post.

All of us here at qipit wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Valentine’s Day.
