When you are trying to pick the perfect flowers for that special occasion it can be difficult to decide which ones to send. One occasion that can be especially difficult to find just the right flowers for is a new baby. Sending new baby flowers can be extremely exciting but sometimes it is hard to decide what the new parents will like. There are the decisions of what color to send, what kind to send, should you send a balloon with it, or if you should even send them at all. There are a few things to consider when choosing which flowers to send when welcoming new baby.
The first thing you really should consider is sending a low maintenance flower. Do not choose a huge bouquet of gorgeous roses that, although look nice, the new mother will need to tend to more than she has time for. Daisies, black-eyed susans, and lilies are three good flowers that require little care. They should be easy for the new parents to admire and not require too much work to keep them pretty. If you are the type that just really wants to send a more expensive flower, keep it simple. Send one rose instead of a dozen. It is still pretty but does not need as much care as an entire dozen and also does not take up as much room. One rose can easily be pressed into a keepsake book.
The size of the bouquet should be kept to a smaller quantity. It is something that has to go home with mom when she leaves the hospital and then she has to find a space to put it when she gets home. Remember that, even though they love the attention and the thought, new parents have so much to take care of that they do not need to worry about flowers as well. The smaller bouquets or single flowers will mean just as much to the new parents as large and extravagant ones do.
There are plenty of gift baskets that you will find that include the flowers and a gift for baby as well. Some of them include a cute teddy bear or other stuffed animal. Many will have something written that says “It’s a Boy!” or “It’s a Girl!” These are great ideas for the flowers and a gift in one. The best thing about the basket arrangements is that when the flowers are done mom can use the basket for other things. Many parents will reuse the basket to hold diapers or small undershirts or even those first baby toys.
No matter which direction you decide to go when you are choosing flowers for mom and baby, remember that she is going to love whatever you decide. This is the occasion that she will never forget and will be most treasured for the rest of her life. The new parents have welcomed a life into this world and anything that they receive to help them keep this in their hearts and minds will forever be appreciated by them.
