Say It With Flowers (and Words)
You've picked the perfect flowers. Now comes the part that stumps just about everyone — what do you write on the card?
Whether you're sending a birthday bouquet, a sympathy arrangement, or a “just because” pick-me-up, your message adds a personal touch that means everything. At House of Blooms in Raritan, NJ, we see it all — from poetic and heartfelt to short and sweet — and we’re here to help you find the words that feel right.
Here are some simple card message ideas for life’s most common flower-giving moments.
