Singing Telegram in London area - any recommendations? Or opinions?

My FIL and his GF are finally tying the knot next year, after 30 years of togetherness. He's 70, she's 64.

She has already decided her wants a hen night, basically drinks, dinner and thence onward to playing roulette at her fave casino (she's a bit of a player on the quiet). We (her 4 DILs) think this sounds fine but would like to do something a little special for her as well. She's a v. young 64 and is up for a laugh.

We were thinking (and I'd like your opinions on this - naff, not naff?) that although a strippergram would not be a good idea, it might be nice to get a singing telegram for her - we were thinking bloke in a tuxedo, red rose, Elvis or Frank Sinatra song - just to raise it above what is otherwise a fairly normal night out for her.

So.... has anyone used one before? From googling it appears there are just 3 providers in the London area, one of whom looks like a tiny child (to me at 42, God knows what he'll look like to the MIL!), one of whom is a crooner type, the last an agency that does (quite frankly) bizarrely costumed singers and looks a wee bit on the naff side...

Anyone got any recommendations? Or do you think it's a bit of a crap idea in the first place?
