Creative Flower Card Messages Worthy Of Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling
Copyright (c) 2006-2012 Wesley Berry, AAF
As much as we might like to be, we're not all talented writers like the best-selling author of the Harry Potter books series, J.K. Rowling. Those of us who aren't skilled writers (and probably some who are!) sometimes struggle with finding the right words to say. Lucky for us, we can send flowers to say it without words...or can we? What about that card that goes along with the flowers? What do we say there?
Don't panic! Your florist is a skilled professional who can create the perfect floral gift for any occasion that will say exactly what you want it to, whether it's "I love you," "Happy birthday," or "Sorry for your loss." In truth, you don't need to write much more on the card that accompanies the flowers than your name so the recipient knows who sent the extremely thoughtful gift. But, there are certainly some occasions when you'd like to add a few extra words.
When you're searching for the right words, ask your florist for suggestions. Your florist has assisted numerous customers with sending flowers for every occasion you can imagine. And, since many orders are placed over the telephone, your florist has heard lots of clever and wonderful messages for flower cards.
If you're a little shy about asking your florist for help, though, here are a few ideas to help you along:
Anniversary
"For all these years you have been my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night."
"Still looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you."
Apology
"Accept these flowers in place of the words I said."
"Will these keys let me out of the doghouse? I'm sorry."
Birthday
"Wishing you a year filled with the same joy you bring to others!"
"Enjoy this gift that's as beautiful as the birthday girl herself."
Cheer Up
"Sending sunny thoughts to brighten your day."
"I hope these ruin a perfectly bad day."
Congratulations
"Stunning performance!"
"A standing ovation for you!"
Get Well
"Hoping these flowers brighten not only your room, but your heart."
"Loving thoughts are tucked inside this bundle of flowers."
Housewarming
"May those who visit your home feel the love residing there."
"There's no place like home! Congratulations."
Love/Romance
"I usually tell you 'I love you' two or three times a day. Today I'll make it a dozen."
"If actions speak louder than words, this is my way of shouting."
New Birth
"We share in your celebration of the new life you created!"
"Babies are special, babies are fun, congratulations on your new little one!"
Sympathy
"Please accept these flowers and hear the words we are not able to speak."
"May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us."
You don't have to be able to write a world-class story like Harry Potter to say it with flowers. The beautiful blooms set in creative designs will always have just the right words. But just in case you have a bit more to say, don't be afraid to ask your florist for a little help!

Easter, the Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of
Christ, was the earliest feast day decided upon by the ancient
Christian Church. Like its Jewish predecessor Passover, it is a
movable feast, based on the lunar calendar rather than falling on

redemption.

Which holiday is the biggest for flower sales? I'll bet you're
thinking Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. Well, those two are
certainly big, but it's Christmas that draws more customers
into flower shops than any other holiday. Perhaps that's
because flowers bring a festive feel to any room they adorn
while also making people feel happy and welcome.

Your Fourth of July celebration could begin and end with a real
bang when you use flowers to accent and decorate the day. If
you're thinking you need to stick with the traditional red,
white, and blue carnation arrangements you normally see on
Independence Day, think again! Flowers come in so many varieties
and they're so easy to customize to the occasion that the
possibilities are endless.

Cheap Tattoos Cheapen The Tattooing Experience

Many of my girlfriends have "girl nights" around getting
tattoos, as if it were as casual as getting a haircut or a
manicure. The casual attitude toward tattoos bothers me for
two reasons; there is the age old argument that tattoos are
permanent and not a decision to make lightly. The other
argument I have against tattoos is that getting a tattoo on
a whim significantly cheapens the tattoos that others have
for cultural reasons or to commemorate a major life event.
