IRC's are international reply coupons, you get them from the post office and you include them with your letter and SAE to make it as easy as possible for the celebrity to respond to you. If you have a specific picture you would like signed you can also include this with your IRC's and SAE. Make sure you get an airmail sticker from the post office also. Good luck :)

What I do before sending out a request to a specific celebrity, I look at previous feedback. From this you can come to a conclusion whether or not you need a Self addressed stamped envelope (SASE), and whether or not you should provide your own picture. Some celebrities use there own envelopes and pictures, so you don't have to waste money on those things. Again look at previous feedback for more information, they usually tell you what they sent. IRC's can be purchased at Post Offices, be sure to include enough postage for return! :)

What I usually send with every request, no matter what, is a Self addressed stamped envelope (SASE) and several IRC's (if internationsal). I rarely include my own photograph, because it gets expensive :neutral: , and almost all celebrities carry their own photo's to sign, unless they are via venue.

Good luck Naff123! {up}

I think you have to send out a SASE...It's more ok than an IRC...
Some Countries like Italy don't have got them.
Good Luck
I am sure You'll got soon a success.
Maybe not soon but You'll got one
