Hiya Im from the UK and I want to write to Kristen Stewart after new years.
Im getting some IRCS for the first time
How many IRCS do I need to send for Kristen to reply? Will 3 be enough?
Does it depend on the weight?

Hiya hasenaali,
One IRC costs £1.15 in the UK currently (though it may be raised soon when UK stamp prices increase) and are valid to cover up to 20g weight of an envelope. So if your return envelope (self addressed envelope) and photos or whatever come to 46g you would need three IRCs and so on.
IRCs can be hard to come by in smaller post offices so always remember to ask for International Reply Coupons as opposed to just IRC and try to go to a bigger branch if possible.
As a rule, you would probably need around 2-3 ish, but if you can make sure you weigh your envelope and everything you want to come back to you first and then you will know how many you need.
Good luck and feel free to post any more questions if you have any!

Yes, it would indeed depend on the weight, as well as the size of the envelope.
If you're sending or expecting the typical 8x10, three IRCs will cover it.
