CLEVELAND, Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day is officially one-week away, do you know where your greeting card is? If not there's no reason to worry, you can still find the perfect way to celebrate your relationship and everything that makes that special someone so amazing in the American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM) card aisle.

This year's selection features a wonderful variety of conversationally heartfelt sentiments that reflect the full range of relationships being celebrated as well as delightful innovations that are sure to surprise.

Searching for the right words for the two of you

The newest cards for the holiday commemorate the fact that the realities of life and love are what make every couple unique and special. So, no matter your relationship or stage of life, you'll find the perfect words to let that other person know just how important they are.

One example of this direction 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."

Share a Valentine's Day surprise

No Valentine's Day is complete without a little surprise, which is why American Greetings has introduced Opening Acts™.

The fun collection features cards paired with specially designed envelopes that play a song or sound when opened. From love-inspired hits like "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" to a hilarious take on the idea of a French kiss, these envelopes enhance the traditional gesture of sharing a card and make it a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

As you can see, the card aisle is filled with everything you could want this Valentine's Day, so, if you still need to find the perfect card visit http://corporate.americangreetings.com/storelocator.html to find a retailer nearest you.
