Letter Writers Alliance: Anti-Valentine's Postmarks

February 08, 2013

Anti-Valentine's Postmarks

We've told you before about the fun practice of sending your valentines to a Postmaster in order to get a neat cancellation mark from a place like Loveland, CO or Valentine, NE. But what if you can't stand that lovey-dovey, hearts and flowers stuff? Never fear, there are postmarks for you too! Postal News Blog listed some great anti-Valentine's cities. To obtain the town's postmark, address your valentine, affix a First-Class Mail postage stamp and put it into a larger envelope, also with postage (probably $0.66), and address it to VALENTINE’S DAY POSTMARK, POSTMASTER, and then add any of the addresses below.

1701 S MAIN ST	BROKEN ARROW OK	74012-9998
4722 WAISANEN RD	EMBARRASS MN	55732-9998
101 S EDWARDS ST	INDEPENDENCE CA	93526-9998
1701 EL NIDO	DIABLO CA	94528-9998
665 6TH ST	SOUR LAKE TX	77659-9998
3701 US 52 HWY	COWARD SC	29530-9998

LWA Mission

In this era of instantaneous communication, a postal letter is a rare and wondrous item. The Letter Writers Alliance was dedicated to preserving this art form through fostering community and communication through the mail. Membership was active from Summer 2007 to Summer 2020. Write more letters!

The Management

The L.W.A. was established in 2007 by Kathy Zadrozny & Donovan Beeson. These two ladies managed every aspect of the Alliance, from design, to packing orders, to maintaining the website. The L.W.A. is a labor of love and we are happy you have joined us in sharing a love for letters.
