Wait for the homecoming
Two or three days after they get home beats the hospital room almost every time.
Occasion
Send them to the house, not the hospital. Here is why, from people who deliver both.
New parents leaving a maternity ward are carrying a baby, a car seat, a bag and roughly four other things. A large flower arrangement is one more object to solve, and a surprising number get left behind in the room.
Flowers at the house two or three days after they get home land completely differently. The visitors have thinned out, nobody has slept, and something alive on the kitchen counter is genuinely good for morale. If you do want to send to the hospital, keep it small and low-scent — maternity rooms are cramped and some units restrict fragrance.
Worth knowing
Three things that make the difference on this particular occasion.
Two or three days after they get home beats the hospital room almost every time.
Nothing that needs a vase found, trimmed or managed. They have no spare capacity.
Cramped rooms and a newborn. We build these without heavy fragrance unless you ask.
We're open 24 hours. Call the shop and we'll build it and get it out the door.
FAQ
Anything else, the phone is the fastest way — we're open 24 hours.
The house, usually. Parents leaving a maternity ward are already carrying more than they can manage, and arrangements genuinely get left behind. A few days after they are home is better timing and a better moment.
Yes, with a room number. We keep it compact and low-scent, and we confirm any unit restrictions before building.
Soft and uncomplicated — peach, cream, pale pink, plenty of green. Nothing heavily scented. Longevity matters more than usual because nobody in that house has time to change vase water.
Yes, and we recommend them here. A self-contained arrangement in its own container that needs nothing for a week is exactly right for a household running on no sleep.
People ask for this more than you would think and it is a kind instinct. A small separate bunch for a big brother or sister costs very little and lands well.
