This year’s Love and Marriage stamp design features a graphic of the word Love with a Love-heart sweet superimposed where the ‘O’ should be. To add an Irish touch, the word ‘GRÁ’ (Love in Irish) is written on the sweet. Two small love hearts in a decorative sparkle foil are included and these hearts can be lifted out and stuck to the outer envelope for a more unique look.
