Has anybody had any good success(ex.personalization/letters) from celebs that you wrote to and took the extra step to design the envelope on the computer and print directly on the envelope? I just made a custom envelope to send to Selena Gomez,I heard she's a good signer and figured I'd take the extra step as a thanks and maybe get mine noticed quicker.

Nah lol I never drew the envelope, etc. I don't have the time but I try to put my heart in a letter though.

well not draw I just put some watermark pictures in microsoft word and printed it on to the actual envelope

I print my return address labels on the printer and usually include a little clipart image that relates to the person (a movie reel, race car, purple heart for CMOH, etc.) I dont think it makes a huge difference but I think it adds a little extra touch.

Hey Righteousmike!

By making your envelope interesting, you would make it get noticed by the agent. I rather spend time making my letter to the celebrity interesting. {thumb2} I usually write (not type!) on very nice paper (with colours and flowers, ect.) and I keep it short to one page only. I write one paragraph about the celebrity and my favourite projects of them, and the next paragraph some brief, interesting info about myself (so they can get to know me!). :razz: Now, I have a very nice letter but I like to decorate it afterwards. You can stick little stickers (not too many, only like 3) at the bottom of the letter or anything like that! Anything really that would get noticed by the celebrity (and agent) and would make them realise that you're really a huge fan. You can also send little presents, like bookmarks. Celebrities appreciate things like that very much!

Good luck, Righteousmike!

Yeah I always hand write mine, that's the first step. {thumb2} Then somwtimes I will put stickers on the envelope, letter etc. When I sent my second Alyson Stoner request, I wrote my letter on a cool lime green peice of cardstock. {love}

i do the exact same thing.

for like Miley Cyrus i put little stickers from my Hannah Montana valentines on there.
and for Selena Gomez, i decorated it with pictures.

Like many, I hand-write my letters, as it already goes a long way in making the letter more personal.

I then try to personalize the letter according to the personality of the celebrity. For example, recently I wrote to one of my favourite reggae musicians. I bought some thin fabric that had the rasta coulours (and marijuana leaves ) printed on it, and after cutting it out neatly, used to it to frame the border of the letter. It's nice little touches like those that show how big a fan you are. Not only did he send me an autographed picture, but also wrote me a nice letter back too!

I always try to add a little something. Not because I want an extra something back, but because I'm a huge fan and appreciate their work.

I sent Chelsea Staub a bracelet and a mini-notebook I made and she sent me back a really pretty and sincere card to thank me!

I also always use bright neon colored envelopes, you can find these at Wal-Mart.

I completely agree with you, iheartcelebs! {thumb2} Don't just send something to get a "nicer" response - it will look so forced! It should come from your heart, if you feel your letter is awesome enough, then there's no need to send little presents. So far I've only sent Charlie Cox a bracelet and he thanked me very nicely, but I sent it to him because I'm a big fan - not to get some nice response!
