How to Request Valentine Postmarks

It's easy! Just place your pre-addressed, pre-stamped Valentine's card inside a larger envelope and mail to the postmaster of the city you want for your postmark. For example:

Postmaster
Attn: Valentines
Valentine, Texas 79854

How to Make A Mailing Envelope

If you need a special size envelope to enclose the Valentine for mailing, try making one of your own.

To make an envelope, first measure the length and width of the card (or your first envelope), then double the figures, and add an inch both ways. Cut a piece of paper to this size.

Center your card (or your first envelope) on the paper and fold over to crease the edges.

Cut away each of the four little corners, which will leave four tabs. Place the valentine (or your first envelope) inside the envelope and seal with tape or glue.
