New 2018 Valentine’s Day Cards in Braille Available from NBP

National Braille Press has created new braille cards to share your love while contributing to a great cause

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the National Braille Press (NBP) has created new braille cards to share your love while contributing to a great cause. This year’s Valentine’s Day cards are now available for purchase.

“These braille Valentine’s Cards are bright and fun for everyone,” said Brian MacDonald, President of National Braille Press. “With these braille cards, blind and sighted friends are able to read and enjoy the cards together.”

This year’s Valentine features the words “I mustache you a question. Be my Valentine?” in playful fonts, with hearts and a handlebar mustache complementing the text. On the back of the card is a “braille decoder” to help friends and family read the message in braille. There is a free, reusable handlebar mustache drinking straw with each set of cards. The print/braille Valentines are the perfect way to promote braille among family, friends and classmates.
