A card adds a nice personal touch when you send it along with an arrangement of fresh flowers. It lets you relay a private message directly to the recipient, a way to convey a special feeling, celebrate an important event, or just send your affection and regards. Below are a few tips for writing the perfect card to accompany your flower delivery.

How Do You Write a Card Message for a Floral Arrangement?

1. Keep It Short 

Floral notecards don't offer a lot of space to write a long message. This can make it challenging if you want to express deep meaning and emotion and describe how much the recipient means to you. But it's not necessarily how much you write; it's what you write. The limited space demands a succinct message, but that doesn't mean the message has to be abrupt or cold. Just choose your words carefully. A simple, direct sentence or two is all that's needed. "I'm thinking of you." "I love you." "You're special to me." Also, a quick few words about the purpose of the flowers: "Happy Birthday," "My heartfelt sympathies," "Happy Anniversary," etc.

2. Coordinate With Flowers

Because a notecard doesn't allow for a wordy message, let the flowers themselves do most of the talking. Flowers can convey meaning and emotion without words. For instance, roses are an abiding symbol of love. Pink carnations tell the recipient you will always remember them. Bluebells signify constancy and devotion. Daisies are symbols of hope. If you're unsure of the emblematic nature of the flowers you've chosen, consult a florist.

3. Sign Your Name

Always remember to sign the notecard. While the concept of a secret admirer can be romantic in the right situations, most occasions call for a clear indication of the sender's identity. If the recipient is only an acquaintance, colleague, or someone you don't know very well, always include your last name too.
