11 Yorkshire inspired messages for Valentine’s Day cards to send your partner on February 14

Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday this year and originated as a Christian feast day to honour a martyr called Valentine.

Later in history, folk traditions were used to celebrate the date and it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

In the UK, a lot of money is spent on the day with around £1.3 billion on cards, flowers, chocolates, and other gifts with roughly 25 million cards being sent out. In Yorkshire, the folk pride themselves on dialect preservation and in honour of this, we have selected a few Yorkshire-inspired messages for Valentine’s Day cards.
