There’s nothing more heartwarming than the arrival of a new baby, a tiny bundle of joy that brings happiness and a whole new chapter of love. Be it a friend or a family member who just welcomed their little one, sending flowers is a thoughtful way to say Congratulations and we’re so happy for you! In this article, we’ll explore why flowers make a great new baby gift, how to choose the right arrangement, and a few tips to make it extra special.
WHY SEND FLOWERS FOR A NEW BABY?
Flowers are one of the sweetest gift ideas for new baby parents, aside from being there and helping out in any way you can, of course. When a baby is born, it’s not just a milestone for the parents–it’s a moment worth celebrating for the whole family. Sending flowers:
- Celebrates the beauty of new life with color and elegance.
- Shows thoughtfulness and care especially when you can’t be there in person.
- Brightens up the hospital room or home, adding cheer to those early days of adjustment.
- Can be personalized with messages, add-ons, like teddy bears or balloons, and color themes.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOWERS FOR THE OCCASION
When picking flowers for a new baby, consider the following:
COLOR THEMES
Pink Blooms for Baby Girls: Soft pink roses, peonies, lisianthus, and carnations that represent sweetness and grace.
Spring Fling | Sweet Ruffles | Blushing Belle
Blue or Purple Blooms for baby boys: Delphiniums, hydrangeas, irises, and blue thistle make elegant choices.
Baby Blue Fleurs | Montrose Blooms | Sky Kisses
Neutral and Bright: Not sure about gender or just want a cheerful bouquet? Yellow, white, peach, and pastel blooms are safe and stylish. Think sunflowers, daisies, tulips, and stock.
Flower Meanings
Daisies symbolize innocence and purity
Roses in soft hues convey admiration and joy
Peonies represent happy life and good fortune
Hydrangeas express heartfelt emotions
Add a Personal Touch
To make your gift more memorable:
- Include a handwritten note or sweet card with your gift.
- Add something extra like a plush toy, a baby rattle, or a balloon.
- Choose a flower arrangement with a vase the parents can reuse.
- Pair the flowers with a little treat, like a candle or a baby keepsake.
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE SENDING FLOWERS
Before you hit "send," here are a few thoughtful tips to ensure your floral gift is received with joy and ease:
1. Allergies and Sensitivities
Some flowers may have strong scents or pollen that could affect new moms or newborns. Choose hypoallergenic blooms like roses, carnations, and orchids.
2. Hospital Policies
If you’re sending flowers to a hospital, check ahead–some maternity wards have restrictions on floral deliveries or specific visiting hours. Do your due diligence and call beforehand.
3. Home Environment
If flowers are going to their home, consider space and ease of care. Arrangements in vases are easier to manage than loose bouquets.
4. Include the Parent’s Names
When sending to a hospital or workplace, make sure to include both parents’ full name for proper delivery.
5. Better to Send it Straight to Their Home
With the challenges of a new baby, the parents must have their hands full and it might be better to send your congratulations straight to their home. It’s one less thing they’ll have to carry home from the hospital.
