Love is in the air as the LOVE 2024 Forever Stamp takes its place among the hundreds of couples getting married on the Bexar County Courthouse steps on Valentine’s Day. The San Antonio Postmaster and Bexar County Clerk have partnered for almost a decade to celebrate the Day of Love with a special stamp dedication of the newest addition to the Postal Service’s popular LOVE stamp series.

The LOVE 2024 Forever stamp features a stylized bird in flight bearing a message of love in its beak. Made of four geometric shapes shown against a rich red background, the white bird carries a pink envelope sealed with a red heart. The bird’s white plumage suggests purity and sincerity. Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed this stamp with an original digital illustration by Katie Kirk.

The LOVE 2024 Forever stamp is now available at all Post Offices and online at the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps.
