Relationship milestones are initiated using physical cards purchased from the Mossport Post Office. Card types include options to ask someone out, propose "going steady," or trigger a breakup.

The post office features rotating seasonal card stock (such as springtime tulip cards for confessions or jack-o'-lantern cards for Halloween breakups). Sending a "going steady" card officially locks in the relationship and unlocks higher-tier privileges, including sleepovers.
