Hi Tweak,

I'm not quite sure what you want to say in the phrase you have written. 'Advanced' is an adjective suggesting most difficult/most complicated when you are talking about grades or levels in tests or qualifications. 'Advance' is a verb with the meaning of go forward or make progress. I don't know how you can refer this to 'happy valentines'

Hi Tweak,

In that case you could say: Happy Valentine's day in advance.

Alan
