Those flower note cards are small, so you really want to make the most of the space that you have. Here are some tips on doing just that.

Skip the name. Unless your flowers will be delivered to an office or anywhere there are a lot of people and the flowers might be mistaken for someone else, save space and don`t write the recipient`s name. The delivery person will be delivering them straight to the recipient in most cases, so it`s not necessary.

Keep it short. There`s nothing worse than straining to read crunched up writing on the edge of the card because the writer ran out of space! Keep in mind that you don`t have much surface area and keep the note short and sweet.

Make it meaningful. Mention something special. For example, if you are giving roses to someone you visited the rose gardens with, you can include that incident in the note, to remind them of the fun times you had together.

Write neatly. If you aren`t good at writing, print the note, instead. The idea is that the recipient can read it and that`s going to be awfully hard to do if you end up writing illegibly. While you can have someone else write the note, it`s best in your own handwriting, since this makes the whole gift that much more special.

Get inspired. Still not sure what to write? Then turn to some poems for inspiration. There are also some amazing quotes out there that can be easily found online and these work particularly well if you are looking at giving a gift for something that could use words of inspiration, such as a promotion or a birthday or even an anniversary.

Mention the special occasion. If you are giving flowers for a special occasion, you`ll want to mention that. Just a quick note is fine “Congrats on the promotion” works well. Of course, adding more information can make the note card more personal and is a good idea.

Add a touch of you. There`s nothing wrong with the standard flower note card, but if you want it to be extra special, why not add your own touch, a tiny doodle or something that you enjoy. If you usually sign letters “XOXO”, then do this on the note card. It will help you be consistent and make the gift that much more personal.

Sign the note. You never know how many bunches of flowers the person will be receiving for this special occasion so be sure to sign your flower note card, or they might not realize who it is from. Unless you wish to remain anonymous, in which case, leave your signature off the card!

What you write on the flower note card will make the flowers mean something. While a bunch of flowers are nice to have, they certainly don`t mean that much unless you know who they came from and why.

Flowers make great gifts, but it`s a good idea to make that note count, too, so be sure you write something special on it! Turn it into something the recipient will want to keep and that will make their heart sing. Following the above tips can help you do just that.
