As much as we might like to be, we're not all talented writers like the best-selling author of the Harry Potter books series, J.K. Rowling. Those of us who aren't skilled writers (and probably some who are!) sometimes struggle with finding the right words to say. Lucky for us, we can send flowers to say it without words...or can we? What about that card that goes along with the flowers? What do we say there?
Don't panic! Your florist is a skilled professional who can create the perfect floral gift for any occasion that will say exactly what you want it to, whether it's "I love you," "Happy birthday," or "Sorry for your loss." In truth, you don't need to write much more on the card that accompanies the flowers than your name so the recipient knows who sent the extremely thoughtful gift. But, there are certainly some occasions when you'd like to add a few extra words.
When you're searching for the right words, ask your florist for suggestions. Your florist has assisted numerous customers with sending flowers for every occasion you can imagine. And, since many orders are placed over the telephone, your florist has heard lots of clever and wonderful messages for flower cards.
If you're a little shy about asking your florist for help, though, here are a few ideas to help you along:
"For all these years you have been my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night."
"Still looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you."
"Accept these flowers in place of the words I said."
"Will these keys let me out of the doghouse? I'm sorry."
"Wishing you a year filled with the same joy you bring to others!"
"Enjoy this gift that's as beautiful as the birthday girl herself."
"Sending sunny thoughts to brighten your day."
"I hope these ruin a perfectly bad day."
"Stunning performance!"
"A standing ovation for you!"
"Hoping these flowers brighten not only your room, but your heart."
"Loving thoughts are tucked inside this bundle of flowers."
"May those who visit your home feel the love residing there."
"There's no place like home! Congratulations."
"I usually tell you 'I love you' two or three times a day. Today I'll make it a dozen."
"If actions speak louder than words, this is my way of shouting."
"We share in your celebration of the new life you created!"
"Babies are special, babies are fun, congratulations on your new little one!"
"Please accept these flowers and hear the words we are not able to speak."
"May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us."
You don't have to be able to write a world-class story like Harry Potter to say it with flowers. The beautiful blooms set in creative designs will always have just the right words. But just in case you have a bit more to say, don't be afraid to ask your florist for a little help!
