Send Your Love Some Love From Loveland CO 2024 Re-Mailing Program

By Melissa Shrader Editor Publisher Loveland Macaroni KID January 17, 2024

Send your love a special love note through Loveland Colorado's Re-Mailing Program

For 78 years the Loveland Commerce & Loveland Postal Service have partnered to re-stamp the valentines of friends, family, and lovers from around the world.

The program was initiated back in the 1940's, as a stamp collection program but shifted to sending love around the world through the re-mailing program. Every element, the cache, verse, and card are all created by local poets and artists. 

You can send your own Valentine's card through Loveland Colorado to get a special stamp, or you can purchase a card online and have it inscribed, stamped, and sent directly to your loved one. 

To send your valentine through the Sweetheart Valentine Re-stamping program follow these instructions:

  • Address the Valentine with the recipient’s address 
  • Stamp the Valentine (with the appropriate postage)
  • Place the Valentine in a larger, first-class envelope (be sure you have enough postage as the letter will be returned to you if you don't)
  • Stamp the larger envelope and address it as follows:
    Postmaster – Attention Valentines  
    446 E 29th St.
    Loveland, CO 80538-9998

Make your cards a bit more special by using one of the Forever stamps from the Love/Wedding section of the United Postal Service website. 

Are you ready to send the 2024 Loveland Valentine Card?

Valentine cards can be purchased online at Loveland.org for $12 (which includes the card, printing, processing, and postage). You can purchase an inscribed card where you can send your special message to the one you love, or you can get a blank card.
