The US holiday is typically referred to as Presidents’ Day (with the apostrophe following the “s”). It celebrates the birthdays of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, so the plural noun “presidents” is made into a possessive noun by adding an apostrophe to the end.
The holiday goes by various official names in different states, and at the federal level, it is known as Washington’s Birthday. However, Presidents’ Day is the most general way to refer to the mid-February holiday.
A QuillBot grammar check can help you use apostrophes correctly in all your writing.

When referring to the holiday itself, the correct spelling is Valentine’s (e.g., “Happy Valentine’s Day!”). The holiday is named after St. Valentine, so “Valentine’s Day” uses the possessive noun form. It is also always capitalized since it is a proper noun.
However, valentines (with no apostrophe) is correct when you are referring to cards that are sent on Valentine’s Day (e.g., “She has to bring 25 valentines for her class”).
QuillBot’s Grammar Checker can help you use Valentine’s or valentines correctly.

What to write in a Valentine’s Day card depends on who the recipient is.
If you’re writing a card to a significant other, you could include a romantic message, such as:
- I love being with you no matter what you’re doing.
- I am so grateful that you’re my forever valentine.
- Ours is my favorite love story.
Or, you could go with something more lighthearted for your partner:
- You’re the peanut butter to my jelly.
- I love you to the moon and back!
- Happy Valentine’s Day. You’re stuck with me forever!
When sending a Valentine’s Day message to family or friends, you could say something like:
- This Valentine’s Day, I’m so thankful for your love and friendship.
- Happy Valentine’s Day! Thanks for being an awesome friend/mom/brother, etc.
