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? The Sweetheart City has officially started its 78th annual valentine season by accepting cards and love letters for its popular and lovely (of course!) re-mailing program.
For the 78th 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.)

Thank you for posting this information. I know about the program but ever since it stopped being in King Soopers, I forget about it.
Thank you
I’m going to send a valentine envelope from Denver to you all – question – on mapquest, I see the 446 East 29th. has a 80539 zip code, while it says that 446 West 29th. has a 80538 zip code.
As your 446 East 29th. mailing address shows the zip as being 80538 – please confirm the correct zip code for your location – 80538, or 80539.
I presume you are correct,and Map queest is incorrect?)
thanks for your clarification.

Jim – Our mailing information comes directly from the Loveland Chamber of Commerce, who organizes the annual re-mailing program. The zip code is indeed 80538. Happy Valentine’s Day! – BKC
