How to Send a Valentine’s Day Card from the iPhone

A new iPhone app makes it possible to send a real Valentine’s Day card from the iPhone, through the mail and into the hands of your Valentine.

With Valentine’s day just around the corner many people are beginning to think of what they will be getting for their special someone. While chocolate and jewelry are always great options one of the simplest yet most traditional items is a Valentine’s Day card.

One of the biggest problems with sending a Valentine’s Day card is finding the time to go pick one up. The Cleverbug app can help people out, by creating custom cards right from their iPhone. The cards that are created can then be sent to family, friends or their significant other. This is not an e-card or one that’s posted to a Facebook wall, but one with a stamp, just like you used to send.

Here’s how to send a Valentines day card from the iPhone.

Tap the Globe icon to change where statuses from the app will be viewed. Once the settings are changed to the user’s preference tap Log In.

When the app loads the birthday’s of your Facebook friends will appear on the main screen like below. Search for the friend that you would like to create a card for in the Search box.
