Same card

Married for 37 years. Yesterday we bought identical Valentine's Day cards. Weird given the hundreds to choose from. Anyone else done the same?

What was the card?

MakeYourOwnSunshine · 15/02/2026 10:43

Do you live in a small place? Did you go to the same shop? Do you both have similar ideas about how much to spend on a card?
So probably not that weird given all the factors involved.

Lots of shops. Both decided on small arty place so it didn't look like we picked up card with Sainsbury's shop. Graphic design of hearts. There were so many to choose from! Husband also bought surprise croissants for breakfast so he wins.

Hah this is cool! I would frame them nicely and hang them somewhere, over your bed, or maybe in the downstairs toilet if you're not the romantic sort. Far too cool a coincidence to just bin them ❤️

You're right - definitely keeping them.

Love this, and I agree that it’s a huge coincidence. There are so many to choose from! I’d definitely frame them ❤️

Not long after we got married we bought the same Christmas card to each other (wife on one, husband on the other) bought in different towns. It happened again the next year.
So now we have a big card and sign it every year to each other.
Married for over 46 years now

Probably showing my age but…

In the olden days, if you wanted to share a sticker on Facebook you had to pay something like 90p.

Myself and DH, who was then a long distance BF, both sent each other the exact same sticker of a Panda within the same 30-60 second window. It was very bizarre.

We did it for our silver wedding anniversary! It's memories like that which I look back on and treasure since he died quite suddenly last May, 32 years almost to the day since we first got together...

Are you happily married @Katykaty11 ?
