by KLaw0523

When writing letters what type of enveople can I use and how many pieces of paper can I put into one envelope. I have been writing since the day he left so I have about 20 pages so far. Any Information is very appreciated.

    Good question. I have been writing my son almost every day since he left a week ago. I'm wondering if a medium sized manila envelope would be okay. I need to have room for my letters and for his sister and dad as well.

      Kjo5, I don't know for sure, but I've read that 3 or 4 pages are fine in an envelope. Also, we should use standard white envelopes with black or blue ink, so the letters don't attract attention of the guys in charge. No scents or colored ink or stickers.

      So I decided to use regular envelopes and number the letters on the inside of the envelopes so they can keep track of the order. I have no idea if this will work, but I'd hate to be the cause of extra grief.

        My husband and I have wrote a letter (hubby), and I bought some inspiration cards, I saw to put on outside of the envelope,letter#, do when you get his address, you just put address on envelope and then he will get bombarded with a bunch of letters.
