Sending flowers is a message all on its own, but sometimes more needs to be said. Take Mother's Day, for example. A simple "Happy Mother's Day" may come across as short and dry when expressing eternal love and gratitude. What if you're celebrating a special occasion? You may want to complement the moment and delicate petals with a heartwarming message.

How do you word that perfect card that encapsulates everything you're trying to convey on a tiny piece of stock paper? Here are a few different ways to make your card as unforgettable as a bouquet.

Add an Inside Joke

Adding an inside joke or pet name to a bouquet card adds a touch of whimsy while still being intimate and sentimental. Something that only the two of you would understand strengthens the bond and gives even greater meaning to your message. Perhaps you might want to add a pet name to the card, signing it off with love and intimacy.

Write Something Heartfelt

Spilling your guts might not always feel like the best way to communicate through text or social media, but a bouquet card is a perfect way to get everything out in the open that online seems too casual for. Flowers are sent to people for a multitude of reasons, and sometimes generic platitudes just don’t cut it. Words from the heart will wrap your intentions up with a pretty bow.

Use Flower Puns

Make the recipient laugh with a cute flower-themed pun. Some examples are:

• Iris you all the happiness in the world.
• You’re simply iris-istible
• Every daisy is better because of you
• I can’t wait to kiss your tulips.
• You Rose to the occasion
• Everything is A-Bouquet.
• Rose over bros
• Make your bud laugh with some flower-related puns.

Get Inspired by Song Lyrics

Don’t think you can come up with the perfect words to express how you’re feeling all on your own? Well, you don’t have to. Just scroll through your playlists and find the perfect song for the occasion. Maybe it's a first dance song, or a song you sing in a car, or just eloquent lyrics that put your feelings into words. Give them the gift of flowers and a tune to carry in their head. 

Sending flowers is great for any occasion, in sickness, and in health, for a birthday or for an anniversary, or maybe just because. The message attached to a bouquet can not only explain the reason for the floral gift but how much you care for the person you’re gifting the flowers to.
