Should I...?

It's the first time when I'll send a letter via venue, so I've got three, irritating, questions:

1st) When I'm sending a letter via venue should I put a date of a gig on an envelope? If yes, where?

2nd) If a gig is on Tuesday, when should my letter come to a venue? I know, that as close as possible, but I'm wondering what's better: before the weekend or on Monday (if the post doesn't work on Saturday and Sunday)?

3rd) On one site about autographs (toddsautographarena.com) I read, that when we're writing via venue we should enclose a sharpie to our letter. Really? Have you ever sent a sharpie?

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. I'm new on the Forum, so hello everyone :D

Hi ApoTiff :D

Welcome to fanmail.biz

All of your questions are good ones. I think I may be able to help you here.

1- You could put the date of the event on the envelope. I personally don't, but I don't think it would increase or decrease your chances either way.

2- If you're mailing to a concert, you should mail about a week before the concert date. If your mailing to a movie set, then mail anytime during production.

3- You could mail a sharpie. I think it would be more trouble than it's worth. It would cause you to pay more postage, and it mayt break during shipment. I don't think that anyone on this site sends sharpies to the celeb. They should have something to sign with.

I hope that I was helpful.
