Fortune Cookie

Valentine's Day fortune cookie sayings

Twenty messages for February 14: tender, playful and ready to hide in the dessert.

On February 14 people give all sorts of things, but a slip of paper written with a little charm is remembered longer than another chocolate. These lines work for couples and for friends: some are truly romantic and others smile a little at the date itself.

Valentine's Day fortune cookie sayings

  • Love has a table for two by the window tonight.
  • Happy Valentine's Day to whoever makes life easier and dinners longer.
  • This cookie breaks easily; what you two have doesn't.
  • Some gifts are bought and some are written on a slip. This is the second kind.
  • Chocolate runs out; a good look stays.
  • No grand plan needed today: choosing each other again will do.
  • Someone smiles every time a message from you arrives.
  • Valentine's Day is an excuse. The rest of the year counts too.
  • Your ideal partner isn't perfect: they laugh at your same jokes.
  • Say today what you assumed was understood yesterday.
  • If this cookie reached you, luck is looking at you kindly.
  • A flower, a note and a long hug: the plan never fails.
  • Today love is served for dessert, and without hurry.
  • Sometimes the best gift is an afternoon without phones.
  • Whoever gives you their time gives you the scarcest thing they have.
  • Not every love makes it to the movies. Yours happens in the kitchen at eight.

  • To love is also to share the last slice of pizza.
  • Friends' affection counts too: write to one of them today.
  • May next Valentine's Day find you with the same person and more laughter.

How to give them

  • At dinner: hide the cookie next to the dessert and let the other person open it.
  • From a distance: send a single line in the morning; it lands better than a long message.
  • Among friends: one cookie each with a line chosen for each person.

For something longer in your own words, the custom fortune cookies page has a slip maker, and if you'd rather bake them, here is the recipe.

Questions about Valentine's Day sayings

What do I write in a Valentine's Day fortune cookie?

Something short that speaks to “you” and has a concrete detail (a dinner, an afternoon, a message). The simplest ones sound the most sincere.

Do they work if I don't have a partner?

Yes. Several are about friends' affection or loving yourself well, and they work just as well on February 14.

When should I have them ready?

A few days ahead if you plan to print or bake them. On February 13 everything takes longer to go right.
