The Telegram

When you want to evoke the charm of yesteryear to convey something special to a friend, family member or lover, nothing quite does it like a telegram. It stirs up a certain amount of mystery for the receiver because of its appearance and delivery. Telegrams express style and class, and they still can be sent for same-, next- or second-day, old-fashioned hand delivery around the world with a standard fee and charge per word. Or you can opt to send a telegram over the Internet delivered to a person's email that retains the same look and charm of an old-time telegram.
 Visit the office of a telegram service or access the service via the Internet.
Construct your message succinctly, but ensure that it conveys what you want to say. Where you send your telegram and how quickly you want it delivered determine how much it costs when you use the traditional method. Work out the details of the message on paper. For instance, if you want to share the exciting news of a pregnancy with your family members, consider something such as: "Good news. Doctor confirmed it. Plan for the stork's arrival in eight months. The stork says pink." Keep the message brief and to the point if you want to evoke the charm of an antique telegram.
Add your message in the form's space as provided. Be aware that telegrams use the world "STOP" at the end of a sentence or paragraph. You also need the name, address and phone number of the person to whom you plan to send the telegram.
Pay the fees associated with the type of telegram you send.

Email-Delivered Telegrams

Write your message before you choose the delivery service. Take the time to hone it to give it the feel of a real telegram. Telegrams, because of their cost, generally only convey the most important information, so they are generally short and to the point. For instance, if you want to propose in a different way, consider this: "Engagement update. Say yes for that Caribbean honeymoon. Ready to buy tickets. Already have ring. Let me know your answer."
Navigate to your chosen online telegram delivery service.
Add the recipient's name and email address and your email address, and type the message into the space provided. Some services require that you pick a graphic style for your telegram, while others may require you to simply enter your message first. Fill the fields with the information needed in the order it presents itself.
Preview your telegram before submitting. Click the "Send" or "Submit" button as required by the service you've chosen.
Enter your payment information in the fields provided, submit and save a copy of your confirmation for your files.
