Question about providing markers/pens

Hello all, I am willing to send a poster to a celebrity, and being its background black, I thought that maybe enclosing a silver pen would be helpful. Do you think this is necessary? Or can I just send it like that? Thanks.

My experiences in person have shown me that many celebs don't pay close attention to the color of what they're signing. I wouldn't expect it to be much different through the mail, so including a marker with instructions to return it wouldn't be a bad idea. Another option would be requesting their signature in a specific color, when you write your request letter.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Yes, you're right, but would they sign with black on black? I might request a specific color, but what if they don't have that pen? Not that I'm going to ask gold or anything impossible to get, but I am worried about the fact that the background is black, and I don't know if this celebrity will have a silver pen (footballer).
Do you think it's not rude to send a silver pen? I would explain its purpose in my letter, of course.

I wouldn't consider it rude at all. Just be polite with your wording, and ask them to return the pen with the signed autograph.
