Valentine's Puns: 42 Sweet, Cheesy & Single-Friendly Lines

In short

Valentine's puns are the most forgiving kind: nobody expects a card pun to be clever, only sweet. This list has 42, including a section for people who are single on the day.

Valentine's puns are the softest in the seasonal set — and the most forgiving. Nobody expects a card pun to be clever; they expect it to be sweet.
