First introduced in 2007, the Forever stamp was designed to simplify mailing by eliminating the need to purchase additional postage when rates change. A single Forever stamp is always valid for sending one standard, one-ounce First-Class letter within the United States, even if it was purchased years earlier at a lower price. In practical use, Forever stamps function exactly like traditional First-Class stamps but offer greater convenience and flexibility. They can be used on everyday correspondence, formal invitations, greeting cards, and business mail, and they may be combined with additional Forever or denominated stamps to meet higher weights or special mailing requirements. Because their value automatically adjusts with postal rates, Forever stamps are especially popular for personal stationery, weddings, and long-term stamp collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eQUESTIONS?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e We love hearing from our customers and replies to inquires are usually answered the same day.
