Each year the Romance Post Office offers a customized postmark designed by the Postmaster for Valentine’s Day that makes the envelope just as much of a treasured keepsake as its contents.
Romance Officer-In-Charge Rebecca Palmer postmark about 7,500 valentines and wedding invitations annually from as far away as Australia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain and Japan.
Some happy couples take advantage of a local minister who is on stand-by Valentine’s Day to renew vows. There also is a justice of the peace available to perform the nuptials with a two-hour notice.
Customers interested in the special postmark should enclose stamped, pre-addressed valentines into a Priority Mail or Express Mail envelope or box addressed to:
Postmaster
Valentine Remailing
Romance, AR 72136-9998
Customers are asked to allow enough time for their cards and letters to be postmarked, re-mailed, and delivered in time for Valentine's Day, Tues. Feb. 14. Depending on Post Office proximity, items mailed by Feb. 6 should be delivered by Feb. 14. If you are within the state of AR, you should mail your items by Feb. 10.
