Cupid's mailing service is gearing up for another season of heart-filled cards and candy-coated kisses. There's no place busier come February than America's own Sweetheart City. Perhaps you know the city by its other name, too? Does Loveland, Colorado, ring a bell?

About Two Hours South of Cheyenne, Loveland CO has Become a Valentine Treasure

Its name practically radiates red hearts and little cherubs! It helps that for the last 78 years, the Loveland Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the U.S. Postal Service, has run the 'Sweetheart City Valentine Program.'

The program allows Valentine senders from across the globe to send Valentine cards from Loveland's Post Office to be re-mailed to loved ones emblazoned with a stamp from 'Sweetheart City.' It's that special touch to really wow your special someone. You can also choose to purchase a beautiful postcard-style card that says 'Sending Love from Loveland Colorado' (find a photo of it here.)
