What to Write on a Flower Delivery Card (with Examples)
Keep a flower delivery card short, sincere, and specific. One or two honest lines that name the occasion or a shared memory will always land better than a long, generic message. Every Adore order includes a hand-written note, so your words arrive in ink, not print. Below are messages you can borrow or adapt for the occasions we are asked about most.
The simple formula
If you are stuck, try three beats: acknowledge the moment, say something personal, and close warmly. "Happy birthday. So glad the world got you in it. Love, ___." That is enough. A card has little room, and brevity reads as heartfelt rather than rushed.
Examples by occasion
- Birthday: "Happy birthday. Here is to a year as lovely as you are."
- Anniversary: "___ years and I would choose you again. Happy anniversary."
- Sympathy: "With deepest sympathy. Thinking of you and your family."
- Get well: "Sending you sunshine until you are back on your feet."
- Thank you: "Thank you, truly. Your kindness did not go unnoticed."
- New baby: "Congratulations on your little one. Wishing you rest and joy."
- Just because: "No reason. Just thinking of you today."
Signing off (or staying anonymous)
Close with whatever suits the relationship: "Love," "With love," "Fondly," "Thinking of you," or simply your name. If you would rather stay unnamed, you can; leave the sender blank and we deliver the note without a signature. Our guide to sending flowers anonymously explains how.
How the note gets written
Add your message at checkout and we write it by hand on a card that goes out with the arrangement, no printed labels. Whether it is a line for a birthday, a few gentle words with a sympathy arrangement, or something private for an anniversary, the handwriting is part of the gift.
