Being invited to a dinner party or any gathering is always an honor. It's a chance to connect with people, enjoy good company, and of course, delicious food! Aside from the usual thoughts of what to wear, the next thing on your mind is what to bring. While a simple "thanks for having me" goes a long way, showing up with a thoughtful gift for your host or hostess truly elevates your guest status. Unlike some gifts that might miss the mark taste-wise, flowers have a near-universal appeal. Flowers are a classic and thoughtful choice.
Tips for Giving Your Hostess Flowers
- It would be better to give them pre-arranged flowers and opt for an arrangement already in a beautiful vase. This saves your hostess the extra step of finding a suitable container and arranging the flowers themselves.
- Your hostess might have their hands full on the day of the party. Consider sending them a day early with a note thanking them for the invitation and how you are looking forward to the party.
- When choosing flowers for your hostess, it's important to consider the occasion and the formality of the event. The flowers you choose should compliment the overall tone. In addition to the formality of the event, you should also consider the theme.
- Don't bring flowers that are too large or too small. A medium-sized arrangement is usually a good option. If you intend for it to be used as a centerpiece, it should leave enough room in the table for the dishes and for guests to still be able to converse easily.
- If you've visited your host before, consider their décor. Choose blooms that complement their existing color scheme. Neutral tones are always safe, or you can go with seasonal blooms for a fresh touch. A vibrant arrangement is a good choice to instantly brighten the room, adding a touch of elegance and setting a celebratory tone for the gathering.
- Avoid overpowering fragrances. Subtle or light scents that won't clash with the meal. Be considerate of other guests who might be sensitive to pollen. Opt for flowers that won’t trigger allergy attacks.

Consider tucking in a handwritten note expressing your gratitude amongst the flowers. It adds a heartfelt touch that goes beyond the beauty of the blooms themselves. If you know your hostess’ favorite flower or color, incorporating those into the arrangement can make it even more meaningful.
