Frequently Asked Questions

New Baby Flower FAQ

 

IS IT COMMON TO SEND FLOWERS WHEN SOMEONE HAS A BABY?

Yes, flower arrangements are popular gifts to congratulate somebody on their new bundle of joy. You might also choose to include something fun for the new parents along with the new baby gifts. Snacks, lotion, and other self-care items are a great way to remind parents that they need to care for themselves, too. 

While some mothers are scheduled to deliver on certain days, babies often have a way of arriving unexpectedly. For the surprises in life, Pastel Petals offers same-day delivery when you order by 2 PM. That allows you to be one of the first to send congrats flowers to the new parents!

 

WHAT KIND OF FLOWERS DO YOU SEND TO CONGRATULATE NEW PARENTS?

While any fresh flowers will make an amazing gift, some of the most popular new baby flowers include:

  • Sunflowers

  • Roses

  • Daisies

  • Marigolds

  • Lilies

  • Daffodils

  • Tulips

  • Hydrangeas 

Any bright colour is an excellent option. Think outside the pink and blue box! White flowers represent purity, yellow represents happiness, and purple is just plain fun, regardless of the baby’s gender. 

 

SHOULD I SEND FLOWERS TO THE HOSPITAL?

You should always call the hospital first to confirm whether they allow flower deliveries. Some hospitals forbid flowers due to allergy risks or limited space in the rooms.

Also, new parents will likely have their hands full when they leave the hospital, so it might be easier to send flowers to their home, instead. 

 

WHAT COULD YOU WRITE IN A CARD TO CONGRATULATE NEW PARENTS?

Of course, you want to include a card with a bouquet! Stumped about what to write? Here are a few ideas:

  • Welcome to the world, little one!

  • You deserve all the happiness this baby will bring to your life.

  • Congratulations on the birth of your new baby boy (or girl)!

  • So happy for you! Love just got real.

  • You’re going to be amazing parents!
