CLEVELAND, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day is all about sharing the love you feel for that special someone, which is different from the love your parents feel for one another or the love your best friend and her significant other feel. The love you feel is all about you and your relationship, and no company knows that better than American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM). This Valentine's Day that knowledge has resulted in a collection of cards that includes the perfect greeting for every couple.

On Valentine's Day everyone looks to the card aisle to share the same type of feelings, what's different is the context and the depth of the couples' emotions towards one another. The realities of life and love are what make every relationship unique, and reflecting that in a heartfelt and meaningful manner is what makes any greeting card perfect.

One example this Valentine's Day recognizes that while life and love don't always fit into easy definitions it's not how we define something that's important – it's how we feel about it that matters most. It reads, "First you caught my eye. Then you captured my heart. And now, here we are. Living together, raising the kids, being a family, doing family things. What a journey. I love sharing it and living it with you. Happy Valentine's Day."

Just as the newest cards represent that every "I love you" is different, they also reflect that not every couple shares their feelings with the same three words. One card this Valentine's Day achieves this by referencing some of the small moments that everyone can appreciate. It reads, "You're the reason for the cute dent in my pillow, the sweet message I can't erase in my inbox, and the sly smile that crosses my face…Happy Valentine's Day. To you – the one who makes me so happy."

So, whether you're just starting to learn what makes that other person so special or you've long known every detail about them, you'll find the perfect way to celebrate what makes your relationship so great this Valentine's Day in the American Greetings card aisle.
