Mailing help

Hey there, this is my first time sending fanmail to someone and I just a few questions when it comes to sending fanmail. I have a letter written and instead of sending a picture I've requested one from them. What I'm having trouble with is envelope size. How big should the SASE be if I'm requesting they send the picture and then for the envelope with their adress on it should i just use a larger envelope or use something from the postoffice for shipping? Sorry if these are simple answers but i just want to get it right the first time and have it be successful

Depends on who your writting to.
Most Disney stars provide 8X10 pictures.
Who are you sending too?

Well I just read the sword of truth series and watched the T.V. show based off it, Legend of the Seeker. While the show wasn't the best, lol, I still found it enjoyable and after stumbling upon this website I thought the cast would be a good first attempt at this hobby.

If they have castcards like most tv shows do then find some successes from them if the provided a pic and what size the pic is.
I would prob send a 9x12 envelope just incase

I usually send a 9x12 SASE inside of a business envelope. When I first started out collecting, I failed to realize that I could fold the SASE to fit into the smaller envelope and I was wasting so much postage.

No, because when they receive it they can unfold it and lay it flat and put the pictures in.

I know that Bridget Regan (Kahlan Amnell ) signs TTM, I have her.
I am waiting to hear back from the rest of the cast. I just need New Zealand stamps for Craig Parker (Darken Rahl).
Good luck with your collection
Regarding envelope size, if you send your own photographs, you can kinda determine the envelope size.
I tend to send 6x4's and 5x7's and use 6x9 envelopes (all sizes are in inches).
But if you're not, then the 9x12 is probably the safer bet as the celebrity may send a larger photograph in return
