There are examples of valentine
messages of love written on paper beginning in the 15th century. By
the 18th century, valentine love letters and handmade love gifts
evolved into the valentines we know today. Many were decorated with
borders of flowers, cupids, and birds and space for a greeting.
During this period Germany and Britain began making fancy writing
paper with similar borders for love letters or valentine letters.
Many people wrote their own verses or copied them from booklets
called Valentine Writers.
