Floral etiquette is something that most people sending get well flowers won’t think about. But don’t worry; flowers are a great way to cheer someone up who’s in the hospital. Before you call the florist make sure you have the name of the hospital, room number, the patient’s name and a delivery time prepared. The person in the hospital will be greatly appreciative of the gesture. Don’t go overboard here, though. Most hospital rooms aren’t very big, so keep the arrangement simple and gender appropriate (see previous day’s post for floral etiquette for men).
Once the person has been discharged and they’re at home, it’s still ok to send get well flowers. Even though they’re happy to be home, it may be lonely during recovery. If the person lives in a small place remember not to over do the floral arrangement, but if they’re not very limited in space and you’re close to the person, they might really appreciate a sizable bouquet sent to their home.
