Modern telegrams -(STOP)- For real -(STOP)-
It's unlikely that you need to let anyone know that the stagecoach is likely to be late or that there's trouble at the train depot, but why should that stop you from adding a vintage twist to that special message? If you go to Telegram Stop, for under $6 you can send an official-looking old-time-y telegram anywhere in the world. How great is that?

If you don't mind straying from the retro theme, you can even include pictures. Send a single message (Congratulations on your new baby -(STOP)-) or use their handy bulk interface to send duplicates to multiple recipients (Baby arrived on Tuesday -(STOP)- Ten fingers and toes -(STOP)- Family exhausted but happy -(STOP)-).

Want to use it for invitations? You can pay a little bit extra for luggage-tag style RSVP cards, too. How mean would it be to use these as era-appropriate invitations to my husband's 40th birthday party? Just wondering. -(STOP)- -Mir

Visit Telegram Stop to send telegrams anywhere in the world.
