What Size of envelope?

Unread post by Alzisno1 »

Im from the Uk sending for a requested autograph within the Uk.

I dont know how big the envelope has to be in inches or what it should look like?

I want to send them today, I have wrote out the letters just waiting on what envelope to send.

Do i have to place cardboard or write do no bend?
Just 1 or 2 stamps?

sorry for all the questions.

Thanks

Hi, I have sent some off recently and sent them in a 8.5" x 4'' envelope.

I put one stamp on the envelope and one on the SASE :)

I don't remember writing 'Do not bend' on it or putting cardboard in but it is best if you do that if your sending a picture of the person you want the autograph off. I have just been sending a letter and a SASE, they normally send their own picture. I sent a letter, SASE and picture to Gordon Ramsay and he sent a different picture back. Putting a SASE in the envelope is better as your more likely to get a quick reply.

Hope this helps.

An A4 envelope will need one Large Letter Stamp. Check www.royalmail.com for size guidance.

the letter i sent was quite a small envelope but the sase was 9 x6 or something like that.

i put 1 for the small envelope and 2 for the sase, is that okay?

Should be yes. Two normal stamps are more expensive than the large letter ones so check next time and save some pennies :)
