See update below regarding drop off boxes in the Denver metro area! How lovely! Is there a more lovely (and perfect!) place to send your Valentine’s Day cards and love letters from than our very own Loveland, Colorado? Nope, there’s not! The commemorative postmark is the special added touch that makes the holiday even lovelier for those receiving your Valentine’s Day cards.

The Sweetheart City has officially started accepting cards and love letters for its popular and lovely (of course!) re-mailing program.
For the 80th year, Loveland will receive more than 100,000 Valentines from all 50 states and more than 100 countries around the world through its Valentine Re-mailing Program, the largest program of its kind anywhere.
Volunteers handstamp the collector’s stamp and commemorative postmark onto each individual Valentine that comes through the city’s postal system.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have spotted a few USPS locations in the Denver metro area that have a drop-off box for your Valentines. No need for an outer envelope addressed to Loveland with additional postage — just drop them off. (Of course, be sure all of your cards themselves have proper postage.) Be sure to ask at your local Post Office if they have a drop off box or bin.
If you spot a drop-off box around town, let other readers know by commenting below or sending a quick e-mail to bryan@milehighonthecheap.com
USPS Office — 738 Peoria St. in Aurora
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 Valentine Re-Mailing Program
446 East 29th Street
Loveland, Colorado 80538
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.)
Here’s the deadline schedule:
For international destinations — Monday, February 2, 2026
For U.S. destinations (outside of Colorado) — Wednesday, February 4, 2026
For U.S. destinations (within Colorado and Wyoming) — Monday, February 9, 2026
All Valentines will be stamped and sent the day received.
You can also drop off your stamped valentines in-person at either Loveland post office (446 E. 29th St. or 601 Cleveland Ave.) in designated drop-off boxes through February 12, 2026 — no larger envelope required.
