St. Patrick’s Day — Tuesday, March 17 — is a time of celebration, whether you’re Irish by birth or just for the day, and many do so by way of the U.S. Mail.
“We have seen an increase in its popularity and the greeting cards available for the occasion,” said Carlos LLansó, executive director of the Greeting Card Association.
And what better way to set a St. Patrick’s Day greeting card apart than with an Irish-themed postmark?
There are several to choose from, including St. Patrick, MO; Limerick, ME; Clover in South Carolina and Virginia; Erin in New York and Tennessee; Green in Kansas and Ohio; Ireland in Indiana and West Virginia; and Shamrock in Oklahoma and Texas.
You could also get a Dublin postmark in seven states: Indiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
“St. Pat’s cards can sell in every corner of the country — even if they are especially popular in Boston,” LLansó said.
