[quote="Beau"]Good idea ryan, but it's also a good idea just is case something happens to one of them. than you still have 3 more.

That's another reason why I get 4. I've had some get smudged or smeared and it was nice to have the extra's to make up for it instead of having to resend. {thumb2}

I'm not sure how many kids right now. Maybe two boys and two girls. :lol:

I don't often send photos, but when I do, I've never sent more than two (one for safekeeping, one for framing basically), and I'll probably never send more than three. I avoid sending four because that's the death-number in Chinese (strange reason, I know), and five just really seems to be pushing it.

[quote="guilder1st"][quote="RYAN J."]I ALWAYS send at least 4 photos with my requests. Some celebs will send their own but I prefer to send some just in case. If you want the celeb to send you a photo be sure and include a 9x12 SASE so they can send you one. {thumb2}

Yes. I like to have extra's to pass onto my future kids. {thumb2}

Ok, now i get it. Thanks. I have seen some before, only with images on them.

I'll give it a go and browse around the link you suggested earlier.

Thanks.

No problem {up}
You may know them better as record cards or study/flash cards. They are basically just a 5"x3" piece of card. You can pick up packs of 100 for very cheap. Some people prefer to send these for different reasons, but I only send these when I have run out of printer ink so can't print out any pictures. It's totally up to you what you choose to send though {up}

Here's some pictures if you still don't know what I'm talking about:

Thanks Hayley, I'm allready busy writting the letter, but wasn't sure if I would send it in without the photo. I do have one question, since I'm still a newbie at all this, I would like to know what do you meen with an index card??

Thanks again.

Hello,

It is not essential that you send a photo, but I prefer to just in case. I never send more than 2 photo's as I don't want to seem rude or to put the celebrity off. If you can't find a picture of a celebrity you can make a request for one in one of the HQ Picture Shops on the Graphics Shop board here: http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewforum.php?f=145
Or you can also just send an index card which a lot of people like to do. I only send index cards as a last resort as I much prefer signed pictures, but I still think an index card is better than nothing.
It's up to you if you want to put some cardboard in, I never do but very often the celebrity will put some in for me themselves.

Good luck with your requests {up}

What if you can't find a photo of the celeb you want to write to ( 'cause he's not very known) can yoou send a request without a photo??
And do you still send the cardboard in your sae

@lozz.09 It's a good idea to include a picture with your request, especially if you are planning to send via venue (like a movie set), because the celebrity might not have any photo's available to send to you. Or if you can't find a photo to send, you can include an index card, so at least they will have something to sign and return to you.
