I have on occasion sent a thank you note. It's usually if the star sent me something special that I hadn't enclosed. It's a good way to show our appreciation. No star has to sign the items that we send.

I sent a thank you letter to the first ever person to reply to me because I was shocked that I actually got a reply and it seemed like the right thing to do. I got an identical autograph to the one I originally recieved.

Anna Faris, Laura Linney, Sophia Bush, Bryce Johnson

I always do that if I got my favorite star's autograph.

I too sent Betty White a thank you letter. We got autographs from her the same day as our pot bellied pig died and it help ease the pain. I sent her a letter thanking her for that.

I sent a thank you note to Betty White because hers is my favourite autograph and she sent me a really lovely letter too. I don't always send thank you notes. Just for really nice responses {thumb2}

[i]I've only ever sent out one thank you note, and the celebrity did the same thing, sent me another autograph.

I would do it for every success I recieve, but it get's pricey on top of your original LOR, so I usually just thank the celebrity in my first letter.

It's a nice gesture though, and it dosen't do any harm, so if you can spare the stamps, then do it!

I only send thank you notes certain people, like if I get something extraordinary that just really needs an extra letter to them or something. Like when I got my Metallica back, it had a return address for one of their staff or whatever...so I decided just to send a quick thank you note to them. And if it is from email, most of the time I usually give a thank you note when I get it. ;)

[quote="AutoHound"]I send thank you notes. [b]I think something like that is never in bad taste.[/b] They probably sent you another one because they knew you would appreciate it. I am in the process of writing 4 thank you letters right now. [i]They are to people of another country who paid the return postage to send me an autograph because I couldn't figure out IRC's, stamps, currency, etc.[/i] [/quote]

That sounds very nice, especially if they paid for postage. {thumb2} Also, if they are lesser known then they don't get swamped by fan mail, a thank you note might actually get to them. :)

Yes there is the argument that it adds to their mail volume, but I never think someone would be irritated by someone being appreciative. I don't always send a note mind you, but in situations as I've mentioned, or as you have where they've said "let me know" I always send a reply.[/quote]


Good points! I used to sent Thank You notes but haven't sent one in 2 years. Well, if it was a e-mail success then yes, I do respond to say thank you. As for thanking them for the autograph in the original letter, they HAVEN'T signed anything yet, so I just thank them for their time.

My opinion: if they asked you to respond, then by all means, respond!

[color=#000000][b]Hi, {up}

I think if you recieve something special back from the celeb, like an amazing success, or a few signed photos with lovely dedications, then its worth writing back along with a 'Thank You' note. {love} Other than that, there's not really any point in including one as you can just thank them nicely in your letter, just like I do! {thumb2}

Good Luck!
