Is there a more lovely (and perfect) place than our very own Loveland, Colorado from which to send your Valentine’s Day cards and love letters? Nope, there’s not. It’s the perfect added touch to make the lovely day even more special. The Sweetheart City has officially started its 79th annual valentine season by accepting cards and love letters for its popular and lovely (of course!) re-mailing program.
For the 79th year, Loveland will receive more than 100,000 Valentines from all 50 states and 110 countries around the world through its Valentine Re-mailing Program, the largest program of its kind.
Volunteers handstamp the collector’s stamp and postmark onto each individual Valentine that comes through the city.
To send your Valentine through the sweetheart city, follow these instructions:
♥ Address the Valentine with recipient’s address — be sure to double-check the address and zip code!
♥ Properly stamp the Valentine with the correct amount of postage
♥ Place the Valentine in a larger, first-class envelope
♥ Stamp and address the larger envelope to:
Postmaster – Attention Valentines
446 East 29th Street
Loveland, Colorado 80538-9998
Remember, you must have proper postage on all of your Valentines before sending them to the Loveland post office. Larger or heavier cards may require additional postage. Otherwise, your loved ones will not receive your heart-filled words, as they will be deemed undeliverable.
IMPORTANT: Postage is required on the larger envelope for them to be properly delivered to Loveland for the re-mailing program. Be sure to weigh the larger envelope to ensure you have the proper postage. Otherwise, the envelope may be deemed undeliverable and returned to the sender.
Be sure to include a return address, in case there’s an issue. (Without a return address and proper postage, there’s a good chance your package could end up in the dead letter office.)
Reader’s Note: According to some readers, select Post Offices around town have a box that you can drop your cards in without additional postage or envelope. Check or call to see if you have one in your neighborhood. If you find one, please comment below to save other readers from having to pay for the additional postage.

For international destinations — January 29, 2025
