Reviewed September 12, 2026. USPS Love stamps are a recurring series, not one permanent design. This guide compares verified recent ordinary Forever issues and explains how to select one for wedding or Valentine’s mail.
Recent verified issues

Which design fits the occasion?
- Wedding invitations: choose a design that matches the invitation style, then check the finished envelope’s weight and shape.
- Valentine’s cards: either recent issue can provide a clear Love-series connection.
- Anniversaries and personal notes: select by artwork rather than assuming the newest year is required.
Postal use
These ordinary Forever stamps cover a qualifying one-ounce domestic First-Class Mail letter at the current category value. Square, rigid, thick or heavy invitations can need more postage.
Buying boundary
Check the issue year, exact quantity, current price and stock on the live listing. Color, wording and perforations alone do not prove authenticity, and this guide does not claim a universal lowest price.
