That seems like a very creative idea! I would send it out about 2 or 3 months in advance, depending on the person. Good luck!

I once wrote a letter to Sam Waterston asking him to send a picture to my sister for her birthday; it came a few months late, but he had inscribed it to her and wrote "happy birthday!" Very nice, and she was super excited (us being big Law and Order fans).

Well after the help and advice you gave me, thought I'd just update on the replies I've had. Philip Scholfield, David Jason and Holly Willoughby sent signed photo's in the birthday card. James May, Stephen Fry, Jeff Stelling and Piers Morgan wrote out the cards whilst Ricky Gervais kindly did both.
Really pleased to have had such good replies, and hopefully a few more will arrive in the next month.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the replies and advice.

I have started sending the cards out along with a SASE and a note to inform them what it is for.

Pheobe- I made a list of celebrities she likes and have looked on this site for the addresses and also looked to see who is most likely to reply. I've sent to celebs such as Ant and Dec, The Saturdays, Michael Mcintyre and Holly Willoughby.

I'll update with how things go, I know its unlikely to get them all back, but just a few would be nice to give her on birthday.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hello CJL,

That's a really lovely idea! Other users here have done the same and been successful, so it's definitely worth a try. All I would say is to make sure you send your requests well in advance, as some people may take a few months to respond. Yes unfortunately despite lots of people sharing the same agency you'll need to send individually with separate SASEs too. :) Who are you planning on writing to? To get an idea of whether they are likely to respond or not, check the database for previous feedbacks.

Good luck! {up}

Phoebe :D

Seems like a good idea. I would say it might work. And, I suggest sending them seperately.

Thanks for the quick replies!

I'll follow the advice you both gave and send them seperate.

Thanks again!
