Re: 8). How do I write to my favorite actor?

Unread post by Felien »

Hi everyone...
My name is Felien and I live in Belgium. I would love to have some more information about getting autographs...
I really want to write a letter to Wentworth Miller and also to Sarah Wayne Callies. Because they are really my favorite actors and I don't really have a chance to meet them.
So I just need some more information about the practical side, like how big the envelope has to be to get a respond (I read already different things); so things like that.
can someone help? I would really appreciate it...

Thank you
Felien :)

An SASE is a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope.
An IRC is an International Reply Coupon

If you live in the Phillippines and you want to send a request to someone outside the Phillipines you send an IRC because they don't sell US stamps, etc there.

Hope this helps :)

Happy collecting

US stamps won't work for getting something from Germany. You have to use German stamps or enclose an IRC(s) (= International Reply Coupon) to you letter.

Hello.......I am new to collecting autographs and I must already say I love this site, I find it very helpful already!! {thumb2}

I do have a couple questions and I am sorry if they have already been asked and answered and I missed them.

1) Do you think its rude to send our own photos that we print offline?

2) Is it rude to ask for two seperate autographs? What I mean is I want to send requests to the different cast members of Twilight, but I would like a picture for myself and my cousin. Can I send together, or should we send them seperate?

3) Can you send requests to multiple addresses for the same actor? Or is it rude if you send one request and get it back and you find a new picture you would like signed, to send for a request again? (not sure if they notice from the same person)

4) When sending something from the US to the UK, I can use US postage correct? And then include the IRC's in the package for the send back?

I am sure I will have more questions! Just can't think of them right now. Thanks for reviewing this! {love}

Hi winymse,

Welcome to the board! :D
I'll do my best to answer your questions.

1. No, it's not rude to print off and send your own photos of the celebrity. It's actually probably the best thing to do, as not always does the celebrity have photos on hand that they can sign for you. Especially when sending via venue (to a movie set, concert venue) printing off your own photos is the best bet. {up}

2. No it's not rude to request two separate photos signed. Just state in your letter that, like in your case your cousin is a fan also and it would mean a lot to you to have a 2nd photo signed for him/her. You can send together, sometimes it's better to send individually though.

3. You can, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you hadn't received your request back in many months or over a year from the first address you sent to. It's not really rude to send more than one request, but you must remember that there are MANY others that are probably trying that exact same celebrity so be diligent as to how many requests you sent out so you don't ruin it for others who are just as big fans as yourself.

4. For your envelope TO the UK you use the required about to send internationally and in the same package you will include your IRCs for your SAE (which is the return envelope).

I hope that answers all your questions. Don't hesitate to ask more. {up} :)

I've sent letters before but have never sent a SASE, so going to try that. I'm in Australia and want to post to US. How many International Reply Coupons will I need to include so they can post back to me? thanks

I'm not sure exactly how many IRCs but if you're going to send a SASE then there's no need to send IRCs.. IRCs are just something to exchange for stamps, if you're sending a SASE then there's no need for them because you're going to be providing the stamps for them
