You'll have to guess the weight of the envelope coming back to you. Assuming it's just a photo with maybe some cardboard, take the equivalent to weight it somewhere with a scale. Once you have the grams, convert it to ounces then go to USPS.com and calculate postage. Right now a first class stamp is 44cents. I predict you'll need 4-5. A forever stamp is same as first class stamp, but if the rate goes up it will always be good as a first class stamp. Those would be my choice as you never know how long it will take. Hope that helps.

One will never cover it. You need to know the size and weight of what's being sent back to you before you'll get an answer.
