Lazaro's Fan Mail Address & Tips To Get Noticed!

Hey Everyone! If you guys follow Lazaro on twitter, then I'm sure you've seen his tweet about his new fan mail address! If you haven't, you can see it by clicking here. Idol's in the past have let us know some tips about sending fan mail to them and I also have a few tips to let you all in on as well! :)

The American Idol Team Goes Through Their Mail:

Past Idol's have let us know that before they get their mail, the American Idol Team goes through it to make sure there isn't anything bad in it. They remove things such as candy and food as it could be harmful to the contestants. So, if you plan on sending candy to the any of the Idols (Lazaro included) they will not receive it.

Send Him A Bracelet Or T-Shirt:

Another tip to keep in mind is that people LOVE to receive bracelets and most of the time will wear them. Sometimes they even switch them out day-to-day depending on how many they receive from the fans! If you make Lazaro a bracelet, then he most than likely will wear it. :) The Idols also love getting t-shirts. While we're not sure of Lazaro's shirt size at the moment, we can guess he wears an adult medium (we aren't sure of this and are trying to find out this information right now. We will send a tweet out when we get the official word). You can get him a t-shirt from your state, or maybe with something funny on it, or you could even make him a t-shirt! It's up to you! But, keep in mind that if you make the t-shirt, he may not wear it because it would be special and he wouldn't want to get anything on it.

Homemade Things Are The Way To Go:

Another thing that the Idols love is anything homemade (such as bracelets). One of the Idols last year was given a care package with soaps and candles that one of their fans had made. Previous Idols have even taken pictures of the coolest things they were sent and posted them on twitter! If you want to get a reply from Lazaro, sending him something awesome is definitely the way to go! Things such as drawings, cool cards, something that would make him feel loved, a baseball cap, maybe even a Rubik's cube with his face on it: be unique!

Also, if you include your twitter name in the letter you send him, he may give you a shoutout or even follow you, but DO NOT ASK TO BE FOLLOWED IN YOUR LETTER. Lazaro won't be able to follow everyone that sends him a letter and it can get a bit annoying if you ask him to follow you, so if you nicely include your twitter name and say something like "My twitter name is @_________." he may tweet you or even follow you. While this isn't guaranteed being nice and cool in your letter to him will get you more of a chance to be noticed :)

How To Get A Reply Letter/Autograph Back:

Now, if any of you are interested in getting a letter back from any of the Idols, you MUST include a self-addressed stamped envelope. If you don't know what that is, it is basically an envelope that you include with your letter so that Lazaro can simply write you a reply and then send it back to you without having to pay money for a stamp. This is what it has to look like in order for you to get a reply from him:



You must write YOUR address in the top left corner AND in the center of the envelope AND you MUST put a stamp on the envelope if you are interested in getting a reply from Lazaro or any of the other Idols. If you do this and include in your letter that you would like a reply and an autograph (you have to ask for an autograph and a reply letter if you want it) back, then there is a pretty good chance you will get it. But be patient because Lazaro (and the other Idols) will be getting loads of fan mail, so it may take a while for them to go through it all. Also, the fan mail they reply to only gets send out every so often, so don't tweet Lazaro constantly asking if he received your gift because these things take time, and also he won't be able to remember every name of every person that sends him mail.

Good luck writing your letters and picking out your gifts! I hope this post helped out in some way and you'll have a better understanding of how the system works! None of this is guaranteed to get you a reply/noticed, but hopefully you'll have a good chance! :)
