Office flower deliveries: proper etiquette when sending flowers to work


Everyone loves receiving gifts. There is something exciting about receiving a gift on special occasions. With the rise in popularity of flower deliveries, many gift givers choose to order a gift online or over the phone and send it directly to that special someone. In some cases, this may mean sending flower deliveries to workplaces. Before choosing to send your gift to work rather than home, be sure to choose an appropriate bouquet that will not cause any problems for the person who receives it.

Thinking of you at work

Perhaps you have a friend or family member who has been depressed lately. They could be going through some personal problems or just be depressed. Either way, flower deliveries are known to increase happiness levels in loved ones. Sending a beautiful bouquet is a great idea; however, be sure not to create controversy in your friend’s workplace.

When sending the gift, be careful with the selection. Avoid sending too large bouquets that might not look good in a cubic or other tight space. Some can be very heavy and the last thing your loved one wants is spilled water on their desk.

Also be careful when choosing the arrangement of flower deliveries with humor in mind. You may find it fun to send a bouquet destined for a funeral or wedding even if there have been no deaths and your friend is not getting married. However, depending on how sensitive you are about such occasions, this could create confusion in your workplace. Co-workers can see the bouquet and start asking when is the big day, who died, or “does your spouse know?”

The longing of a lover in the flowers

Flower deliveries are extremely popular with those who want to express their love for another person. Many flowers have been known for their ability to convey loving emotions without uttering a single word. This can be a great way to show your lover that you are thinking about him and that you care deeply about him. However, this can spell disaster in the workplace too!

Most flower delivery bouquets come with a small card that the sender can enter a message to print on. You may be tempted to share every last detail about what you have in mind with your lover, but avoid doing so directly in the bouquet. Remember to keep what you write on the card in good taste. If you must say something suggestive, consider using code that only you and your lover will understand. Remember, you really don’t want your boss to stop by to see who sent the flowers and to learn the details of your most intimate moments.

On the other hand, if your lover has ever dated someone in the office, sending flowers could reopen wounds or create hurt feelings. Even if the relationship is long in the past, some exes hold on to their emotions. Be sure to send flower delivery arrangements with good intentions in mind and avoid creating unnecessary drama. The last thing you want to do is make work life uncomfortable or difficult for your partner.

Flower deliveries can be wonderful to show that you are thinking of someone special. Be careful not to create conflicts or controversies in the office. The gift should be a token of your love, appreciation, or concern and not a spark to ignite scandal and controversy among the people who sign your loved one’s paycheck.
