The United States Postal Service is delivering some first-class news: Betty White, America’s golden girl and certified comedy queen, is getting her very own stamp in 2025! Yep, the USPS just announced they’re slapping Betty’s iconic face on some postage, so now your bills and birthday cards can travel with a touch of sass and charm.
Betty, who sadly left us in 2021 at the age of 99 (seriously, couldn’t she have made it to 100 for us?), will be immortalized in stamp form. And honestly, if anyone deserves to be licked and stuck on an envelope for eternity, it’s her.
In a statement dripping with respect and maybe a little fangirling, USPS said:
“An icon of American television, Betty White (1922–2021) shared her wit and warmth with viewers for seven decades — including roles on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
Translation: Betty was the Beyoncé of sitcoms, and we’re just lucky to have basked in her glow.
Oh, but they didn’t stop there:
“The comedic actor, who gained younger generations of fans as she entered her 90s, was also revered as a compassionate advocate for animals.”
Yes, Betty White was the Oprah of saving furry friends. You love to see it.
She’ll be joining a star-studded lineup of 2025 stamps, including a Keith Haring “Love” stamp and a Black Heritage stamp honoring musician Allen Toussaint. Basically, your mail is about to become a mini art gallery.
Lisa Bobb-Semple, the USPS’s stamp services director (who must have the best job title ever), hyped up the program in a statement:
“This early glimpse into our 2025 stamp program demonstrates our commitment to providing a diverse range of subjects and designs for both philatelists and stamp enthusiasts.”
Translation: “We’re making stamps so cool, you’ll forget about texting for at least five seconds.”
Lisa added, “We’re continuing popular series, introducing exciting new stamps, and updating our mail-use designs. Stay tuned for more announcements!”
Start saving your pennies now, because 2025 is officially the year of Betty White postage. Whether you’re a philatelist (fancy word for stamp collector) or just someone who loves a good letter, these stamps are guaranteed to bring a little Golden Girl magic to your mailbox. You can even check out the new designs and plan your stamp spree.
Dear USPS: Thank you for making Betty White forever first-class. She always deserved nothing less.
