Recently reading through the always-helpful Hints from Heloise advice column in my local newspaper, I saw where a florist
had expressed a few frustrations that can easily be fixed.
She explains that sometimes people are in a hurry and do not fill out all of their information when sending flowers. Not only is this time consuming to the florist who has to look everything up, but think of how your friend will feel getting flowers with their name spelled wrong.
Here are a few tips to make sure you are sending flowers that will make your friends smile, not scratch their head and wonder who sent them.
- 1. Make sure the recipient’s name is spelled correctly. A florist must write the name exactly as you give it. Double-check to make sure you’ve got the correct spelling, even if it’s a nickname.
- 2. Use both first and last name. “Many families know more than one ‘Jim or Mary.'” It’s important to specify who you are. Unless your name is Cher, use more than just a first name.
- 3. Give your correct address for thank you cards, as well as for the florist’s records.
