How do I send my self address envelope?

Unread post by EminemFan97 »

I have this really nice photo of Chris Durand who plays Michael Myers in Halloween H20 (My fave movie ever) and I want to send it to him for him to autograph for me. I have some card-backed envelopes that have "Please do not bend" wrote on them which I know you need and I am going to another post office to ask if they sell IRC's (because the last post office told me that they don't do IRC's anymore) but what I want to know is how do I send my self addressed envelope? do I put my address on the envelope that says "please do not bend" and then use a normal envelope to put that envelope in? i'm not sure. Please help.

Put your picture in an envelope and address is to Chris. Then put another envelope inside THAT envelope and just address it to yourself - make sure the envelope you address is big enough to fit the picture that you are sending him to sign. Put stamps on it - also or include the IRC that you are going to get. Put your letter to him in it and seal it up. =) When he gets everything he will take out the Self Addressed Envelope, assume he will sign the photo put it in the SAE and then use the IRC to send it back to you. =)

You can go to USPS.com to buy an IRC online as well, if no PO's do it. My Post Office has no idea how to use an IRC so I feel your pain!

Thank you so much for your help :)

So do I put the Chris Durand photo inside the envelope that is addressed to Chris that has everything in or should I put it inside the envelope that is adressed to me? because if I put it in the SAE he might not know there is a photo in it. The envelope that is addressed to Chis will not be card-backed. but the SAE is. Should both envelopes be card-backed?

Thanks for telling me about that IRC website too, i'll check it out.

Nope just put it in the big envelope, that is actually addressed to Chris. Not sure how big your photo is but you'll probably have to fold the Self Addressed Envelope to get it in the bigger one that you are sending to Chris.

Just putting cardboad in the SAE should be good enough to keep it from bending, but if you put the cardboard in the actual envelope that you are sending to Chris (Not the SAE) He'll probably include that in the SAE when he sends the signed photo back to you =)

Thanks again Kayla {up}

My photo is A4 and fits in the SAE (which is also A4 but slightly bigger) and the SAE has card in already. I was thinking about putting the A4 SAE in a bigger envelope 'cos I don't want to bend it.

I hope Chris autographs it for me 'cos it's a good photo, it's got Chris Durands face in the middle and 4 pictures around it, 3 stills from Halloween H20 and the Halloween H20 movie poster and at the bottom it says "Chris Durand as Michael Myers in Halloween H20" and if he doesn't send it back it will be gone.

Here is a photo of my Chris Durand photo that I want to get autographed by him if you wanna see it:
