White House Greetings
Dear Readers: I have received several letters asking for the White House Greetings Office address where you can REQUEST A GREETING from President and Mrs. Bush. The White House Greetings Office receives and processes all requests in accordance with long-standing guidelines. These strict guidelines must be followed in order to receive a card. Requests that don't comply will not be fulfilled. You need to be a U.S. citizen and include:
Name of honoree
Form of address (Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss)
Date (month, day, year) of birthday, wedding or anniversary
Requestor's name and daytime phone number
The number of requests you can submit per day is limited. For birthdays and anniversaries, greetings will be mailed from the White House approximately 14 days prior to the event. Wedding and baby's birth greetings will be sent after the event.
If you have problems making an online request, make your request by fax or mail.
You can select ONE of the following to make a request:
Baby's Birth Greeting -- A baby birth card will be sent within a year of the birth. Make the request AFTER the baby is born.
Birthday Greeting -- A birthday card will be sent to individuals celebrating their 80th (or greater) birthday. Make your request at least six weeks BEFORE the birthday.
Wedding Greeting -- A wedding card will be sent to couples after the event. Make your request AFTER the wedding.
