index cards

Unread post by Melissa2 »

This may sound stupid but:
I've heard of people sending index cards to the people they want autographs from so... is it just a regular old index card from Wal Mart that you all use? I've never thought of sending out one, I usually just send pics, but I was wanting to try! :D -Thanks!

Yes, plain old index cards. The blank ones without the lines look better, but its your choice what you use. Remember, some celebrites choose not to sign index cards for various reasons. Good luck with your requests! {thumb2}

I use just the plain index cards, recently I started writing in Sharpie the actor's name and then having on the bottom, the character's name and tv show/movie that I've loved them in. But yep I use the plain blank index cards instead of the lined ones.

Yes I just buy plain index cards from Wal-mart and customize them to look extra cool. Examples can be seen on my website:

That's the ones! In the UK, we have ASDA (Which is owned by Wal*Mart) and we have the same things - The ones without the lines are best. Also, you can probably get them in stationary stores.

Good luck - James :D

You can buy them from many stationary stores. You can always send one along with your letter incase the celebrity has run out of photos to sign back to their fans. If you send a photo aswell they can sign both. Plus if you present them, they look really nice i think {thumb2}

Like Ryan. I have been sending plain 3x5 cards for the past 14yrs. I recently have been creating custom 3x5 cards and have had some great successes...

Here is a link to another thread where I posted some of my signed cards..

Good luck!!
