The U.S. Postal Service continues its popular Love series with a new stamp in 2021.

The first stamp in the series was issued in 1973. This new stamp features a colorful and light-hearted digital illustration.

Expressing love, whether it’s romantic, friendly, appreciative, or loyal, holds countless meanings and can be demonstrated in numerous ways. One exceptional method of conveying affection, friendship, gratitude, or devotion is by sending a card to a cherished loved one or dear friend. With an extensive array of cards available, ranging from timeless classics to contemporary designs, finding one that effectively communicates your sentiments in any desired style has never been easier. Furthermore, there is a renewed appreciation for handwritten notes that authentically express one’s emotions. Many cards intentionally feature blank spaces, allowing you to personalize your message for any occasion or simply send warm greetings without a specific reason.

The playful, graphic lettering on these stamps will add color and whimsy to your mailings, making it clear that thought and care have been lavished on the message, inside and out.

Greg Breeding was the art director; Bailey Sullivan created the original art and designed the stamp.

The Love stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always equal the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.
