Hey, I am new to this and need a little help which would be great. I wanna send out a few 8x10 pics to get signed.
I know I need a envelope big enough for the 8x10 to send back to me but how big do you guys usually use for the main
envelope that the sase envelope, letter, and image all go in? Also what type of envelopes do you use? Let me know please
this would be a big help. Thank you.

I use a 9x12 cardboard envelope for the photo, and a 10x13 manila for the main envelope.

6x9 clasp envelopes. I just fold the SASE in half.

I do the same. I always send a photo to be signed, since I prefer to choose for myself what I'd like to get signed. Also, while I usually send 6x8 photos I'm aware that the celebrity may prefer to use their own photo so I use a SASE that is big enough to enclose an 8X10. I prefer the cardboard envelopes (also known as photo mailers) since it is safer and don't mind the slight extra cost in postage both ways. I just recently got a success and the SASE envelope was roughed up a bit but the photo was fine. If it had been a cheap manilla envelope the photo would have come back creased.

You get what you pay for.

thank you for the quick response. It helps a lot.

i also used a 9 by 12 envlope then i put either two stamps or three stamps if im sending a photo or two i put three on each one.

If I'm not sending a photo, I fold my (9x12) SASE three times and stuff it into a regular business-sized envelope along with my letter. If I'm sending a photo, I fold my SASE once and put it, the letter, the photo, and a piece of cardboard into another 9x12 envelope.
