If the celebrity is international, you should include two International Reply Coupons (IRCs) which should be available at all post offices.
Of course, you can also include your own photo that you would like them to sign. Important: In order to receive any reply mail at all, it is often important to include a large self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) big enough for an 8×10″ photo along with your letter.

Aside from a posed photo with the celebrity, an autograph is a great companion keepsake souvenir to remember meeting them. I want to take the fanatic in me to the next level and boldy go where most casual fans have not gone before: to meet the people behind my favorite on-screen characters in-person. When I like a movie or TV show a lot, I think that merely watching it is not enough. Obviously, the latter cannot be done through the mail. This is my favorite method as I actually get to meet the celebrities and get a posed photo with the celebrity.
