How to Send Flowers to Guys
- 1). Decide what you can spend. Don't forget that the price of the flowers is not your total price. You will need to plan for taxes and a delivery or service fee.
- 2). Determine what you want to send and when you want it to arrive. Popular flower choices for men include roses, tiger lilies and mixed bouquets in bright colors. Consider his favorite color when choosing a bouquet. Many florists' websites offer suggestions specifically for male recipients. Review these options before you make a decision. Teleflora, one of the largest floral networks, suggests sending guys bold flowers such as sunflowers, birds of paradise or ranunculus. They also suggest sending balloons and edibles along with flowers. Remember that you may be charged an express fee for same-day deliveries after 2 p.m. local time or for any delivery that must arrive before 1 p.m.
- 3). Choose a florist. You can visit a local florist to place your order, but you can also order from one of several national floral networks, either online or over the phone. Some florists offer special vases or arrangements just for men.
- 4). Give your florist the name, address and telephone number of the person receiving the flowers, as well as your name and address. Provide one or more telephone numbers where you can be reached if questions or issues arise.
- 5). Select a message to write on the floral card. Consider how he'll feel when he reads the message. If you are unsure about what to say, your florist can make suggestions.
- 6). Pay for your flowers. Local florists usually accept cash, debit cards and credit cards and sometimes accept local checks as well. Online orders or phone orders usually require you to pay with a credit or debit card.
