You can add a gift card to your telegram. Your message will be handwritten onto a luggage label and finished off with a vintage postage stamp.
As a little extra you can add a viola to your order. These are carefully handpicked and dried in a traditional flower press. They are now presented within a cellophane cover on a card mount and not directly to the telegram. Size and colour of the flower will slightly vary.
PLEASE NOTE -
We prefer not to send these to wedding venues, registry offices, hotels, places of work or restaurants. The telegram may not be hand delivered to the addressee on the desired date and this can lead to disappointment.
